众所周知，谚语乃是一种语言的精华，寓意深刻，表达隽永。在考研写作中如能适当地引用一些谚语，可以为文章增辉添彩。一些同学在平时的学习中积累了一些谚语，但在写作时不知道该如何将它们恰当地引用到文章中去，本文拟根据近年来《纽约时报》引用谚语的情况，总结出英语中常见的引用谚语的地道表达法，供同学们写作时模仿使用。
谚语在英语中叫proverb，引用时经常会在其前面酌情加上old, Chinese, English, Russian之类的形容词;动词一般用go, say, state, has it, put it等，在这些动词后面用逗号或冒号皆可。谚语可加双引号(这时谚语的第一个字母要大写)，也可不加双引号(这时第一个字母一般不大写)。引用谚语的表达方式常见的有如下十种：
1) A proverb goes / says, ---
2) As a / the proverb goes / says, ---

谚语作为群众集体智慧的结晶，多具有鲜明的民族性和地域特色。由于中西文化的差异，一些在汉语中人们耳熟能详的谚语却未必为西方人所理解。所以在引用汉语谚语时，如果中国特色过于浓厚，则可舍其形而取其意，写成英语中与之意思对等的西方谚语。例如，有的同学想表达这个意思：本性难移，于是写道：As a Chinese proverb goes, a dog cannot change its habit of eating shit. 这样写不但失之粗鄙，还会让爱犬的西方人大惑不解。所以，这个意思宜写成A leopard cannot change its spots. 或者A fox may grow gray, but never good.
