江山易改本性難移，就像 a leopard can't change his spots，表面意思「豹子不會改變他的斑點」，這句諺語就是比喻本性難移。十年樹木百年樹人，要改變一個人的性格談何容易。它寓意：
one cannot change who they are
一個人無法改變他們是誰
the inherent traits in a person remain as they are even if they actively seek to change them
一個人的內在特質會保持原樣，即使他們主動尋求改變
it is a notion that the innate or inborn nature of things cannot be amended
這是一種觀念，即事物的固有或先天的本性是不能改變的。
例如：
He is bound to fail the exam again, a leopard cannot change his spots after all.
他一定會再考不及格的，畢竟本性難改。
She is still going after married men. It is impossible for a Leopard to change his spots.
她還在追求已婚男人，真是本性難改。
The teacher tried to be kind to her students, but a leopard can’t change its spots, she was still very mean.
老師試圖對學生好一點，但她還是很刻薄。
After our breakup, he came crawling back, trying to convince me that he'd changed, but I know that a leopard can't change its spots.
我們分手後，他爬回來，想讓我相信他變了，但我知道江山易改本性難移。
Bill may say he'll stop being so jealous after Cindy marries him, but I doubt he will. A leopard can't change his spots.
比爾也許會說辛迪娶了他以後，他不會那麼嫉妒了，但我懷疑他會不會。畢竟江山易改本性難移。
除非是非常之必要，不然是不會想到要改變自己的本性，天生我材必有用，我們要充分利用自己的優勢來創造屬於自己的未來，我的人生我做主。
