APAD: It is the still and silent sea that...能填空完成英文谚语吗?附短语动词

African Proverb: It is the still and silent sea that drowns a man. Meaning: Depending on how you look at it, this proverb can be interpreted as a strategy or a warning. As warning, it advises us to watch out for things that appear unimposing and unsuspecting since they often bring about undesirable consequences.

What's its Chinese Translation?

 

 

As APAD, are you intertested in practicing A Phrasal verb A Day on top of A Proverb A Day?:)

back down:To stop doing something or admit you were wrong because people oppose you
If we keep protesting the new city taxes, the mayor will back down.
