請介紹給我們西方人一些最常用的成語 - Most commonly used idioms in Chinese?
英語也有成語,有很多,但是很多很少見,或者不用了。所以我想知道最有用的一些中文成語! 謝謝。
We have many idioms in English, but many are not used often (or not used anymore at all!). So I hope to know from native Chinese speakers, which idioms do you use the most often or hear the most often?非常感謝你們回答!我在研究!

請幫我翻譯一下成英語
清末學者王國維先生嘗謂:凡成事者皆須經歷三種境界,
一曰:衣帶漸寬終不悔,為伊消得人憔悴;
二曰:昨夜西風凋碧樹,獨上高樓,望盡天涯路;
三曰:眾裡尋她千百度,驀然回首,那人卻在燈火闌珊處。習拳亦應如是。

how to use the word "welcome" / “welcome"的三用法
(1) "to be welcome + infinitive" - This is invitation to do something
example: "you're welcome to come visit my country any time", "you are welcome to join us for dinner tonight"
(2) "you're welcome" - a response to "thank you"
"Thanks!" "You're welcome!"
I suppose the meaning is really something like "you are welcome (to my help)".
(3) "welcome to ___" - said the first time you see someone who has recently arrived.
Usually on a sign when someone arrives, or said when they get off a plane.

English Idioms - 1
Nip It In The Bud
Translations: 扼杀在萌芽状态 (?), étouffer/tuer dans l'oeuf
Frequency: Seldom
Description:
"Nip" in this case means to cut something.
A bud refers to a bud of a flower (蓓蕾).
When you cut a plant near the bud, the plant will stop growing in that direction. To "nip something in the bud" means to stop its growth and control a situation, by ending it early.
Examples:
"We got a few spam emails from that company, so we decided to nip the problem in the bud by calling their manager and demanding he remove our email from their list".
"Our new TV started behaving strangely, so we decided to nip it in the bud by getting a replacement, before it stopped working entirely"
Let Nature Take Its Course
Translations: 聽其自然, laissez faire la nature
Frequency: Seldom
Description:
"Let nature take its course" is used to describe a situation where we must let time pass and let things happen naturally. This is often used with things like plants or animals, because they are part of nature.
Examples:
"The plants already have enough food and water. We just have to let nature take its course and hope that they will grow."
Possessed (By The Devil)
Translations: 走火入魔
Frequency: Seldom
Description:
We say this jokingly, when someone or something is acting very very crazy. It's often a joke when used for an inanimate object.
If something is "possessed" it means some (evil) spirit has entered their mind, and now controls their thinking and behavior.
Examples:
"Your microwave is making strange noises! I think it's possessed!"
Idiom Frequency:
Common - used often. might be heard twice in the same day.
Seldom - not used very often. might be heard twice in the same week.
Rare - almost never used, but most people know what it means.

英語成語-挑選題目的思想
這個文章比以前的對我很難寫, 因為表達更複雜的觀念。 我希望你們會介紹介紹一些更合適的說法。提前感謝你們。
Today an idea came to me, I was trying to think of a topic to write about.
今天我找一個題目(寫?),突然想到一個主意, 。
I realized I could write about English idioms I heard throughout the day, because I think students of English would be interested to learn idioms which are in common use.
我意識到可以把每天碰到的英語成語作為一個文章題目, 因為我認為英文學生會感興趣常用的英語成語。
I have always thought that writing a book on this topic would be very useful, because of the many books I have seen on this topic, there are many idioms in the books which are very odd or antequated, so it is really a waste of time for language learners to be distracted learning idioms they will never hear or use!
我從很久以前以為,寫一本慣用英語成語的書對英語學生會很利用的,因為我看過不少英文成語書,內容我覺得不好。 他們挑選的成語有些慣用的,但是很多很奇怪,還有些我連沒碰到的。這個可以浪費學生時間!這樣會分心他們的注意(?), 因為很多成語其實不用的, 連道地的英語說著聽不懂。
In the following notebook entries, I hope to write more on this subject and try to share some common idioms I hear in my daily life, so you can be sure that this idiom is still in use.
在下一些文章希望寫這個題目, 跟學英語學的華人分享我們慣用的成語和句子。

地道 還是 道地
different chinese people have used different. some say you cannot say 地道 (beacuse it can mean 下地道路)。
so, should we always say 道地 to mean 'authentic, genuine' ?

第二篇-練習烹飪
你們好,
我很驚訝那麼多人響應了我以前寫的文章!
I am surprised how many people responded to my previous essay!
我覺得很幸福能有這麼多朋友來幫我!
I am very fortunate to have so many helpful friends!
正如我以前寫,這幾天我不做太多。
as i said in my previous essay, these past few days I have not been doing much 。
我利用我的空間來練習烹飪。
I have been taking advantage of my free time to practice cooking.
I made red bean soup, congee (rice porridge), and fried egg.
我做了紅豆湯,稀飯,超級但。
Everything came out good!
都做得不錯。
Actually, I know how to cook more Chinese dishes than western dishes, because a Chinese person taught me how to cook.
其實, 我會做的中國菜比西方菜還多, 因為是一位中國人教我做的。

請你們介紹一些更好的說法。 謝謝
