江山易改,本性難移。
Guys like that, don't change.

Guys like that, don't change.

But i broke up with him like a week ago becuse everytime we fight he gos and hits thinks and it scares me !! sometimes i think his crazy!! He hurts his nuckles becuase he punchs thinks and he gos all stupid in his car when his mad even when i im whith him! he also grabs me from my arm when we fight and one of thos times he strangeld me he has ended up in the hospital becuase he has even broke mirros with his hand!! But now that i left him he has cried to me begged me so much to get back with him, telling me that he will change and for me to let him prove it to me that he loves me and his willing to change. im scared that one of those bunches one day be on my face in insted of the wall!!! i dont know what to do. Should i get back with him???

    Absolutely not. Guys like that don't change. I've been in a relationship like that when I was your age. I stayed with him for seven years. It never changed. It almost sounds like you described the relationship I was in. Life is too short to be with someone like that. There are other guys out there who don't act like that and I am now married to one. Please for your own sake take my advice. I've been there and know better. Good luck.


  • Okay, if he's treating you like that, and cheating on you, you need to leave him. I know you guys want these boys to be there because of the babies, but they aren't going to change. I know. I was with a guy for two years...He cheated on me with everyone I knew...He lied to me...He yelled at me...He even threatened to kill me when I told him I thought I was pregnant... No matter what they say, guys like that don't change!! It might be hard at first, but you guys will be better off without them!!!!

  • Someone can hold you tight and kiss you and hug you..when THEY want to. Have you noticed it is only when he wants to? But when you want to, he is dismissive and impatient, even so much as intolerant? Does he sigh really loud, turn away from you or start an argument? How about the words, "not now!" or even, "you're so clingy". he sounds to me to be the kind of guy that wants you to clean for him and cook for him and basically be at his beck and call but not return it. he is selfish, girl, plain and simple. And guys like that don't change. I ran into that a while back. I was married to a guy who for all intensive purposes seemed to be my soulmate. It was perfect and then something happened. I would clean his house all day and do laundry, prepare a great dinner, and bring it to him at work. Thank you's did not happen letalone he noticing that his apartment was imaculate when he got home from work. Nothing. he was selfish and mean too! You name it, he said it. and the final straw being when he told me, "it is a good thing we don't have children because they would have shaken baby syndrom" I had to call it quits after that. he wasn't going to change and i had already lost a lot of my self esteem trying to change for him. I had gotten to the point where nothing I did was good enough and everything i said only served to piss him off. Girl, he is not going to change. Face it, he wants you when he wants you.....he is selfish, and what YOU want doesn't matter. the longer you stay with him, the more he thinks he has a grip around you. the longer you stay the more he will abuse and the cycle will never end.
江山易改,本性難移。
  • 俗話說,江山易改本性難移,再狡猾的狐狸總會露出尾巴。婚後,堂嫂悲哀地發現,堂兄緊繃的神經放鬆了,以前掩飾得嚴嚴密密的缺點終於暴露出來。以前說不喝酒不吸菸,婚後整天吞雲吐霧,喝酒必醉。更要命的是她的大學生老公竟然連小學都沒畢業,談吐之間髒話連篇,吵架時出口就罵娘。眼見堂兄暴露的陋習越來越多,堂嫂悲哀地發現以前文質彬彬的這個男人此刻竟是如此俗不可耐。

  • 越來越重視人力資源工作,但也有一部分老闆思想落後,文化素質低,固執,不願意接受新鮮事物,如果遇到這樣的老闆,建議你不要在浪費時間,趕快另謀高就,不然只有兩種結果,一是到企業倒閉你才走,一種等到老闆改變過來,你的青春也不在了。「江山易改,本性難移」。

    從前,有一個地方住著一隻蠍子和一隻青蛙。蠍子想過池塘,但不會游泳。於是,它爬到青蛙面前央求道:「勞駕,青蛙先生,你能馱著我過池塘嗎?」「我當然能。」青蛙回答。「但在目前情況下,我必須拒絕,因為你可能在我游泳時蜇我。」「可我為什麼要這樣做呢?」蠍子反問。「蜇你對我毫無好處,因為你死了我就會沉沒。」青蛙雖然知道蠍子是多麼狠毒,但又覺得它說得也有道理。青蛙想,也許蠍子這一次會收起毒刺,於是就同意了。蠍子爬到青蛙背上,它倆開始橫渡池塘。就在它們游到池塘中央時,蠍子突破彎起尾巴蜇了青蛙一口。傷勢嚴重的青蛙大喊道:「你為什麼要蜇我呢?蜇我對你毫無好處,因為我死了你就會沉沒。」「我知道。」蠍子一面下沉一面說。「但我是蠍子,我必須蜇你。這是我的天性。」

  • 都說「江山易改,本性難移」,可美國《心理科學》雜誌刊登的一項研究指出,處於快樂情緒之中的人,性格也會發生一些改變:膽子更大,探險精神更強,也更大方和開放。

(=to spoil someone's plans or pleasure)

  • I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but you're not allowed to have food or drinks in the theater.
  • I hate to rain on your parade, but your plans are all wrong.
  • She really rained on our plans.

  • Omniglot / Language-related proverbs
    • "Language is the means of getting an idea from my brain into yours without surgery."-- Mark Amidon
    • 學而時習之 不亦說乎 (xué ér shí xí zhī, bù yì yuè hū)
      Is it not enjoyable to learn and practice what you learn?

"tax haven"

  • 譯為「避稅天堂」或「避稅港」(許多人把避稅天堂誤寫為tax heaven)
  • 避稅港」(微基百科)指的是稅率很低、甚至是完全免徵稅款的國家或地區,但可能只有個別稅種較低,適用於特定分類的個人或商業機構。

    個人要受益於避稅港的其中一個方法,就是遷徙到該地區,使法律上只需繳交稅項給免稅港政府。另外,個人或商業機構也可以在避稅港,成立附屬機構或獨立的法律實體(即公司或普通法法制裏的基金),資產移動到新公司後便可在套現獲利,從而繳交較低或者免除稅款。不過,利用這種方法到底算是避稅還是逃稅,難以一概而論。這視乎相關國家或地區、還有相關的個人或機構的個別情況。

    避稅港一般是小型島國或缺乏天然資源的地區。一般認為成立避稅港能有效吸引外國資本,從而發展本土基建和經濟。由於外國一般難以追查、取締成立於避稅港裏面的活動,犯罪份子有可能把其犯罪資金大量引入避稅港,這通稱為「洗黑錢」。

  • 判定是否避稅天堂的四元素」(香港/明報
    -無或極低稅率
    -缺乏有效稅務資料交換機制
    -欠缺透明度
    -缺乏實質打擊逃稅行動
