1. A penny saved is a penny earned省一文，赚一文；省钱就是赚钱
我们要想致富无非是两条路，一为开源，一为节流。而这个习语的意思就是告诉人们要注意节流，你有一文钱，攒着不花掉就相当于你挣了一文，日积月累，就会越攒越多，慢慢你就会成为富人。而这实际上也是我们中国文化一直提倡的。
应用典例：
①I'm going to give you $20 but I want you to put it in the bank; a penny saved is a penny earned!
我准备给你20美元，但是我希望你把它放进银行，要知道省一文，赚一文。
②My dad never lets me spend money on things I don't need. He always says a penny saved is a penny earned.
父亲从不让我在不需要的东西上花钱。他总是说省钱就是赚钱。

2. a slip of the tongue 口误；说走嘴
slip原本表示“滑动；滑倒”，所以a slip of the tongue就是指舌头不自觉地滑动了一下，一句话脱口而出，而这句话并不是你想说的，也就是我们所说的“口误；说走嘴或无心之言”。人们在疲劳、激动、分心时最容易发生口误。有时一句无心之言也会带来大麻烦，所以大家还是要Think before you talk（三思而后言）。
同样，我们也可以用A slip of the pen来表示“笔误”。
应用典例：
① A slip of tongue made me say Robert instead of Richard.
我说走了嘴把理查德说成了罗伯特。
② Did I say she was forty? I meant fourteen - just a slip of the tongue.
我说过她四十了吗？我的意思是十四—只是口误而已。（哈哈，女士的年龄永远是个敏感的话题，这类话可要特别小心啊！）
