D12. A leopard can’t(doesn’t) change its spots的英譯英訓練

A leopard can’t change its spots是什麼意思？

先複習：把英語D11.An apple a day keeps the doctor away英譯英試試：What does it mean?

英語A leopard can’t(doesn’t) change its spots不是用來給我們做英譯漢練習，即見英語「說」中文的：中文是我們的母語，張口就說太容易了。

英語A leopard can’t(doesn’t) change its spots是用作見英語「說」英語的：能說英語才是我們需要訓練的能力。

leopard: leo-pard,leo-pard,leo-pard

看例句：

After our breakup(end our dating relationship), he came crawling back, trying to convince me(trying to make me believe) that he'd changed, but I know that a leopard can't change its spots.

把學過的英語用起來，英譯英：

1. Okay.I got you. If you say someone is just like a leopard can’t(doesn’t) change its spots,you mean: Our basic nature/character does not change easily.

basic nature/character很難說難記嗎？

2. Okay.I got you. If you say:A leopard can’t(doesn’t) change its spots,you mean: We can not change what we are easily even though we try to.

Are you with me?

Our basic nature/character means what we are.

有了英語的透徹理解，中文怎麼行文就各有各的說法了。

如果你還想繼續用英語理解，還可以說：

A leopard can’t(doesn’t) change its spots means A tiger can not change its stripes.
