天衣无缝
one summer night, when the moon was very bright he suddenly saw a girl descending(下降) slowly from the sky. he observed the girl closely, and found that the dress she was wearing was seamless(无缝的) . he was puzzled, and asked why. the girl answered,"heavenly clothes are not sewn with needle and thread."

传说古代太原人郭翰在夏夜里乘凉,见一个仙女从天上下来,她身穿白衣,美丽绝伦。她告诉他她名叫织女。郭翰仔细欣赏织女的衣裳浑然一体,竟看不出一丝线缝,好奇问织女。织女答道:“天衣本非针线为也。”
this idiom is used metaphorically to indicate the flawless handling of things. it can also be used to indicate a perfectly written poem or other literary article.

神话传说,仙女的衣服没有衣缝。比喻事物周密完善,找不出什么毛病。
对牛弹琴
Gong Mingyi was a famous musician in ancient times, who played the lute very well.
公明仪是古代一位很有名的音乐家,弹得一手好琴。
One day, while playing the lute indoors, Gong Mingyi saw a cow eating grass leisurely outside the window. He had a sudden whim to play some melodies for the cow. He first played the "Exercise of Qing Jiao", but the cow still kept on eating grass with head lowered. He seemed to realize that the melody was too highbrow for the cow to understand.

有一天,他在室内弹琴,看见一头牛在窗外悠闲地吃着草。他忽然想弹几曲给牛听听。他先弹了一曲“清角之操”。可是,牛还是跟刚才一样,只顾低着头吃草。他似乎意识到,这支曲子太高雅了,牛没有听懂。
So he played several other melodies, imitating the buzzing sounds of swarms of flying mosquitoes, and the bleats of a calf looking for its companions. At this, to his surprise, the cow stopped eating grass, but raised its head, pricked up its ears, wagged its tail and, pacing up and down in small steps, began to listen attentively.

于是,他弹了另外几支曲子,模拟蚊子成群结队飞来飞去的嗡嗡声;模拟小牛犊寻找伙伴的眸眸叫唤声。这样一来,这头牛竟然不吃草了,抬起头,竖着耳朵,甩着尾巴,迈着小步,留心地倾听起来。

A blind man who leans against a wall imagines that it's the boundary of the world.
坐井观天。
A cock is valiant on his own dunghill.
夜郎自大。
A common danger causes common action.
同仇敌忾。
A contented mind is perpetual feast.
知足常乐。
After black clouds, clear weather.
否极泰来。

英语中常见的成语:
1. A watched pot never boils.
[字面意思] 眼睛盯着看的壶永远不会开。
[引申义] 事情在进行中,不到时候就不会有结果,要水到渠成才行。心急锅不开。你着急?着急也没用!用眼睛盯着它看也无济于事,事情不会因为你着急就会有较快的进展。
2. Bad news travels fast.
[字面意思] 坏消息传得快。
[引申义] 好事不出门,坏事传千里。尤其在现在这个信息爆炸的年代,一件事情刚刚发生几分钟,很可能就已经成为千里之外的人们议论的话题了。
3. Easy come, easy go.
[字面意思] 来的容易,去的快。
[引申义] 这句话适合讲给那些把什么事都看得容易的人。尤其是对那种认为挣钱容易,不把钱当钱,对任何事情都不担心的人最适合。应该提醒这种人"钱不是长在树上的"。钱不是像树上的果实一样,今年吃光了明年还会自动长出来。有些人自己不挣钱,不知道挣钱的艰辛。
4. Good wine needs no bush.
[字面意思] 好酒不需要做广告。
[引申义] 好的产品不需要做更多的广告。酒好不怕巷子深,或许这话在全球化经济竞争的年代不太适合。不过在现代社会,广告可以让好的商品更快地被大家熟知,使市场营销的一个重要手段。
5.I am all ears.
[字面意思] 我浑身上下都是耳朵。
[引申义] 我在洗耳恭听。我很感兴趣,我在集中精力,全神贯注地等你往下说。比如:女朋友说"我今天下午去参加面试了。你想知道结果吗?"女朋友没往下说,就等男朋友开口,希望他说:"Tell me! Tell me! Im all ears!"
6.It slipped my mind.
[字面意思] 从大脑里溜走了。
[引申义] 忘记了,没记住。打击最熟悉的I forget it.和I can’t remember it. 都是说我忘记了,但是这个表达式口语里的常用成语,是不是更形象?举个例子: I meant to tell you your girl friend had called, but it slipped my mind.意思就是:我本想告诉你,你的女朋友来电话了,但是我把这事给忘记了。这下你会用了吧!
7. Its not my pigeon.
[字面意思] 不是我的鸽子。
[引申义] 不关我的事,不是我的责任,跟我没关系。我们大家都知道的另一种说法是:It’s none of my business.也是只不关我的事。如果有一天同事说:老板看上去很生气,说那个大项目搞砸了,到底是谁出错了啊?你也可以换一种说法回应他:Its not my pigeon
8. Little leaks sink the ship.
[字面意思] 小漏洞会使一条船沉没。
[引申义] 千里长堤,溃于蚁穴。告诉我们不能轻视出现的小问题,时间长了可能会引起大麻烦。当我们想提醒身边的朋友或同事要仔细处理某件大事的时候,可以用上这个成语,显得更加耐人寻味哦!
9.Love is blind.
[字面意思] 爱情是盲目的。
[引申义] 情人眼里出西施。究竟他为什么爱上了她?我是不理解,但谁也说不清。爱情就是这样,正像人们常说的一样,Love is blind. 典出罗马神话,爱神丘比特Cupid用布蒙着眼睛,生有双翅,持弓箭,"爱情之箭"会盲目地射出。
10. Love me, love my dog.
[字面意思] 如果爱我,也应该爱我的狗。
[引申义] 你要是爱我,那也应该爱我所爱的一切。相当于汉语的"爱屋及乌"。我离了婚,还带着两个孩子。你说你爱我。但两个孩子不能离开我,我认的就是Love me, love my dog这个理。
11. My ears are burning.
[字面意思] 我的耳朵在发烧。
[引申义] 在西方也有人相信,如果你的耳朵发热,那可能是有人在其它地方议论你。有的中国人还有左耳烧和右耳烧的区别(好话和坏话的区别)。这是感觉到别人在说起你的时候说的一句话。
12. My fingers are all thumbs.
[引申义] 我的指头都成了大拇指了。
[解释] 可能由于紧张或劳累过度,手指头发僵,不听使唤。例句:昨天打字,工作到晚上12点,今早感觉手指麻木,现在I cant operate the keyboard properly; my fingers are all thumbs.
13.No news is good news.
[字面意思] 没消息就是好消息。
[引申义] 这是一句劝别人不要着急,要耐心消息的等待的话。
14. One mans meat is anothers poison.
[字面意思] 一个人喜欢吃的肉对另一个人来说是毒药。
[引申义] 萝卜白菜各有所爱,你喜欢的可能其他人不喜欢,因为每个人的品味都存在差异。比如:不要给所有的朋友送一样的礼物。Dont give all your friends Chinese made drinking glasses, one mans meat is anothers poison.
15. Out of sight, out of mind.
[字面意思] 眼不见,心不想。
[引申义] 好长一段时间没有某人的消息,就可能不再想到他。汉语"眼不见,心不烦"指的是"希望不好的事情远离自己",只作贬义词用。但英文的说法属中性。
16. Pigs might fly!
[字面意思] 猪也许会飞起来。
[引申义] 第一个意思是:根本不可能的事!第二个意思是:天下事无奇不有,不可能的事也许可能发生。变体有两个:Pigs may fly! 和When pigs can fly!
17. Practice makes perfect.
[字面意思] 多实践能使技术完美。
[引申义] 熟能生巧。学英语也是这样,尤其是口语,所以,只要功夫深,铁杵也能磨成针,哈哈!
18. Seeing is believing.
[字面意思] 看见才相信。
[引申义] 亲眼见到才相信, 类似"口说无凭,眼见为实",很好理解。如:I would never have imagined my daughter could cook, but seeing is believing. 也含有"眼见为实"的意思。
19. The die is cast!
[字面意思] 色子已经扔出去了。
[引申义] 已成定局,没有改变的可能,木已成舟。当你破釜沉舟,义无反顾地要做一件事的时候,或一件事的发生将使整个局面朝一个特定的方向发展的时候,你就可以引用这句话。 "War became inevitable, the die was cast."这是恺撒将渡Rubicon河时说的一句话,表示"木已成舟","决心已下","义无反顾"或"破釜沉舟"。(名词die是古代的用法,意思是"骰子" 或"色子"。现在的"色子"用dice,单数、复数相同)
20. The ball is in your court.
[字面意思] 球在你的场内。
[引申义] 这个说法来源于网球。该你行动了,看你的了,你不行动我们就无法继续进行下去。那么,现在我要说的是:我们已经把该做的都做了,常用成语及用法已经罗列了出来,只有20个哦,能不能学以致用,就看你的了。
