A proverb is a traditional saying that is usually expressed as a metaphor (= in terms of sth else). * saying可指各种新旧谚语，用来表达人们认为明智或正确的观点；proverb则指通常以隐喻形式表达的传统谚语◆Don't count your chickens before they are hatched (= Don't depend on money or success that you think you are going to get before you have actually got it).不要蛋未孵化先数小鸡。Especially in British English, proverbs are often used in a short form, sometimes with the phrase it's a case of or and all that. 尤其在英式英语中，谚语常用简约形式，有时会与it's a case of或and all that连用◆Well, I suppose it's a case of not counting your chickens.噢，我觉得这事就是先别急着数小鸡。◆Better the devil you know, and all that.熟悉的魔鬼比较好，诸如此类的。 ■ platitude ˈplætɪtjuːd; NAmE ˈplætɪtuːd [countable] (rather formal, disapproving) a comment or statement that has been made very often before and is therefore not interesting 陈词滥调；老生常谈◆The prime minister's speech was full of platitudes and empty promises.首相的演说中尽是陈词滥调和兑现不了的承诺。
