【题目】 A proverb is a short, well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief. Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old.
In American history, Benjamin Franklin was a scientist, inventor and writer as well as a leader of the American Revolution. 【1】
Franklin wrote a book called “Poor Richard’s Almanac”.【2】 Some of them are still used today, like this one: “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
Franklin is also remembered for other proverbs like, “A penny saved is a penny earned.”【3】
Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use. The first ones are about love. Some people say, “All is fair in love and war.” They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.
【4】In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may refuse to see anything bad about that person.
Here is another popular saying about love: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Some people believe that a woman can win a man’s love if she prepares his favorite foods.
“【5】” This proverb is true in love and war or other situations. It means that what you do is more important than what you say.
We have to stop here, so we must say, “All good things must come to an end.”
