「小学英语谚语」Something is better than nothing.有一点总比没有强。

Something is better than nothing.有一点总比没有强。

另有一句句子结构和意思都相同的谚语是:A little is better than none,意译就等于中国成语“聊胜于无。”

同样意思的谚语还有:

Half a loaf is better than no bread.

半个面包,胜过没有面包。

A bit in the morning is better than nothing all day.

哪怕只有一点,也总比全部落空好。

Half an egg is better than an empty shell.

半只蛋总比空壳好。

以上意思都是劝人要知足,不要要求太高。当然这应该是用于物质上的享受。如果工作或学习上的要求,就不该安于现状,应该不断上进。

如果物质上享受不知足,那就是贪得无厌,这可参阅另一些谚语:Give him an inch and he\’ll take an ell.Much would have more.
