Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
早睡早起使人健康、富有和聪明。 (解析)：本句的主语是由and 连接的两个动词不定式短语，被视为一个概念，所以谓语动词用单数形式；如果表示两个概念，谓语动词要用复数形式。例如：To buy some food and (to) water the trees are my jobs today. 买吃的和浇树是我今天的活。
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 千里之行，始于足下。(解析)：begin with的意思是“以......开始；以......为起点”。例如：I’m going to begin with an English song today. 今天我打算先唱首英文歌。
Well begun is half done. 良好的开端是成功的一半。
(解析)：本句是省略句,补全后是：That it is well begun is that it is half done.
Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. 不要小事聪明，大事糊涂。
(解析): penny wise还可以写成penny-wise,意思是“小事上精明的；小数目上节约的”；同样pound foolish也可以写成pound-foolish, 意思是“大事上糊涂的；大数目上马虎的”。它们都属于合成形容词。例如：She is a penny-wise woman. 她是个斤斤计较的女人。 It is very dangerous to be a pound-foolish man. 做一个大事糊涂的人是危险的。
Whether the sayings are in Chinese, English, or any other language, they share something in common. 这些谚语无论是汉语的、英语的，还是别的任何语言，它们都具有相同的含义。 (解析)：(1)本句中由whether...or...引导的分句作状语，意思是“无论......,还是......”。例如：Whether he drives or (whether he ) takes the train, he’ll arrive here on time. 无论是驾车还是坐火车，他将准时到达这里。 (2) in common 的意思是“共同的，共用的，公有的”。例如： Jenny and Danny have no background in common. 詹尼和丹尼没有共同的背景。In common with many Chinese, Mary likes dumplings very much. 同很多中国人一样，玛丽非常喜欢吃饺子。
{注}：whether......or not意为“不论，是否”，例如：The book will be ready for him whether he comes or not. =( The book will be ready for him whether or not he comes.) 不管他来不来，要给他把那本书准备好。
