Hi friends, The Proverb of The Day Is :
― *'Rome was not built in a day' *― *Explanation :* Time, patience and patience are needed for a difficult and important task. The city of Rome, like all great works, was *built* over many years of hard work. "*Rome was not built in one day*" says that you must work hard and keep working hard if you want to build something great. *― **Origin : *This familiar saying was originally a French proverb, 'Rome was not made all in one day,' which was recorded in 'Li Proverbe au Vilain' (c. 1190). The English version did not appear until three centuries later, when it was included first in Richard Taverner's translation of 'Erasmus' Adages' (1545) as 'Rome was not built in one day. ―* Example :* ■ "Are you still working on that same painting?" *Answer:* "Hey! *Rome was not built in one day*!" ■ "It will be at least six more years of study before I can become a doctor." *Answer*: "*Rome was not built in one day*." ■ "It is taking me a long time to write this computer program." Answer: "*Rome was not built in one day*." ―* Further Reading : **Words describing people* : ***http://groups.google.co.in/group/english_learners/web/describing-people *http://groups.google.co.in/group/english_learners/web/describing-people-2* * --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "English Learner's Cafe" group.
