In my last post, I mentioned the English idiom "wake up and smell the coffee".
Here I would like to share another one that also uses the verb smell:
在我的上一文,我提到 wake up and smell the coffee 这个英文习语。
这里我要再分享另一个也同样用 smell 这个动词的:
Stop and smell the roses.
停下来嗅嗅玫瑰花。
This idiom means we should take a break from our busy schedules to appreciate the good things in life.
这个习语意思是说我们应该在忙碌的日程里稍停,欣赏生活里美好的事。
That said, I have to get back to work now -- I have too often stopped to smell the roses!
话说到此,我必须回去继续工作了 -- 我也太常停下来嗅玫瑰了!
