年年岁岁花相似,岁岁年年人不同    
nián nián suì suì huā xiāng sì , suì suì nián nián rén bù tóng
英译 (English) Month after month, and year after year, the flower resembles but people differs.
释义 (paraphrase) “年年岁岁”、“岁岁年年”在于强调了时光流逝的无情事实和听天由命的无奈情绪,真实动情。“花相似”、“人不同”的形象比喻,突出了花卉盛衰有时而人生青春不再的对比,耐人寻味.
示例 (demonstration) 岁月变迁,许多人和事都慢慢变化,正所谓“年年岁岁花相似,岁岁年年人不同。”
