英文：You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.

說明：這句亦可說成 You can take a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.，字面意思為「你可以牽馬到水邊，但你不能強迫牠喝水」。

例句：

• Mason always complains about not having enough money. I showed him an ad I saw in the newspaper for a part-time job. He said it was a good idea, but he never called the phone number. I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. (梅森老是抱怨錢不夠用。我給他看一個報紙上的兼職廣告，他說不錯，可是從不打電話去問。我認為師父引進門，修行在個人)

英文：It’s too good to be true.

說明：“too good to be true” 意為「好得難以置信；好得不像是真的」，通常與 BE 動詞或 become, get, sound 等連綴動詞連用。根據語境不同，這片語除可表達上述積極意思外，亦可表達「哪有這麼好的事」這一消極意思。

例句：

• The news was too good to be true. (這消息好得難以置信)
• They told me I’d be going on business trips to Europe, but it was too good to be true. (他們告訴我，我將到歐洲出差，但這好得不像是真的)
• A: The ad says buy one get two free. (廣告說，買一送二)
  B: No way! It’s too good to be true. (不可能！哪有這麼好的事)
• A: John will buy us a drink tonight. (約翰今晚要請我們喝兩杯)
  B: Wow! It’s too good to be true. (哇！哪有這種好事)
