To teach a fish how to swin 班门弄斧
as busy as a bee 忙得团团转, 忙得不亦乐呼
Love me, love my dog 爱屋及乌
Lock the barn door after the horse is stolen 亡羊补牢
He that will steal a pin steal an ox 小时偷针, 大时偷金
Don't count your chicken before they hatch 勿打如意算盘, 不要高兴得太早
as poor as a church mouse 一贫如洗
Let sleeping dogs lie 不要狗拿耗子,多管闲事; 不要打草惊蛇。
I'm so hungry that I could eat a horse 我其饿无比, 饥肠辘辘
Go home and kick the dog 回家生闷气
Separate the sheep from the goats 明辨是非
A lion in the way 拦路虎
One swallow doesn't make a summer 一燕不成夏
A wolf in sheep'clothing 披着羊皮的狼
Fine feathers make fine birds 人靠衣装,佛靠金装
You can't make a crab walk straight 江山易改,禀性难移
The early bird catches the worm 捷足先登;笨鸟先飞
It rains dogs and cats 倾盆大雨
All his geese are swans 夸大其词;敝帚自珍
as stupid as a goose 蠢得象头猪
