英语中有丰富的习语成语，增强了语言的表达能力。其中大部分可以直译，或用汉语中相应的习语套用。

例如：the open door policy开放政策，the cold war 冷战，to fish in troubled waters 混水摸鱼，strike while the iron is hot 趁热打铁，at sixes and sevens 乱七八糟。但是还有一些习语成语必须意译才能表达出其正确含义。

She was born with a siver spoon in her mouth.

她长生在富贵之家。

You're talking through your had again.

你又在胡说八道了。

You should keep your nose out of here.

你别管闲事。

Good to begin well ,better to end well.

要善始善终。
