Did you enjoy Jane and Tim's wedding yesterday?
昨天简和蒂姆的婚礼你玩得开心吗？
Yes, it was good wasn't it - especially the party afterwards - all that dancing and drinking.
开心，婚礼非常好，是吧？尤其是婚礼后的派对，舞蹈和饮料非常好。
I did notice!
我也注意到了！
I'm really happy for them but I do hope that Jane will help Tim change his bad habits - Tim used to be messy, forgetful and always late for everything!
我真的为他们两人感到高兴，不过我特别希望简能帮助蒂姆改掉他的坏习惯，蒂姆不整洁、健忘，而且做什么都迟到！
I don't think he'll change - a leopard doesn't change his spots.
我想他是不会改的，所谓江山易改，本性难移。
A leopard doesn't change its spots? I think I know that Rob, but what has a leopard got to do with Tim?
豹子不会改变斑点？罗布，这我知道，可是豹子和蒂姆有什么关系？
Quite a lot Feifei.
菲菲，有很大的关系。
The phrase - a leopard doesn't change its spots OR a leopard can't change its spots - means he won't change.
这个短语的意思是他不会改变的。
He will always be the same person and his bad habits are here to stay.
他会一直这样，他的坏习惯也会持续下去。
Oh I see. So his bad habits will never change - they will always stay the same.
哦，我明白了。就是说他的坏习惯永远不会改掉，会一直存在。
So Rob, you are comparing a leopard, who can never change its spotty appearance, with someone who will never change the way they behave?
罗布，你是把永远无法改变斑点的豹子和永远不会改变行为的人进行了比较？
You've got it. Let's hear some examples of how people use the phrase...
说得对。我们来听些例句，看看这个短语如何应用。
I told Karen she had to study more if she wants to pass her exams but a leopard can't change its spots - she won't do it.
我对凯伦说，如果她想通过考试，她就要更加努力学习，可是江山易改，本性难移，她不会这么做的。
Freddie promised he wouldn't get into trouble at school but I don't believe him - a leopard can't change its spots.
弗雷迪承诺他不会在学校惹麻烦，可是我不相信他，所谓江山易改，本性难移。
A leopard can't change its spots - and someone can't change their habits. So Rob, you don't think Jane will be able to change Tim?
豹子不能改变自己的斑点，人们也不会改变他们的习惯。罗布，你认为简能改变蒂姆吗？
No - he's stubborn - maybe he's going to have to change Jane - she is very neat and tidy and always turns up on time - maybe he could teach her to relax more - chill out.
不能，他非常顽固，可能他会改变简，简整洁又干净，而且很准时，可能蒂姆会让简放松一些。
