Metaphoric Phrases
I was talking with a classmate about the exam and we were discussing Idioms and Metaphors. We've learned that one of the aspects of metaphors is that they translate well into other languages. I am now studying Spanish and have learned some metaphoric phrases in Spanish so I thought I would share some of them with you all.
A la largia, lo más dulce amargia Too much of a good thing
El hábito no hace al monje The clothes don't make the man
En la variedad está el gusto Variety is the spice of life
Aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear
Quien ríe de último, ríe mejor He who laughs last, laughs longest/loudest
If you all know some in another language let me know.
