Actions speak louder than words.

行动胜于雄辩。

讲解

“行动”是 actions，“言语”是 words，动词是 speak，行动不能真正说话，但这里用了个修辞的手法，行动比语言说话的声音更大，也就是：行动胜于雄辩，行动胜于言辞，行胜于言，Actions speak louder than words.

发音

这里注意几个单词发音，action，是梅花音的元音/ae/，action，speak，长元音，speak，louder，双元音，ou，louder，连起来就是 Actions speak louder than words.Actions 这里是复数，s 结尾，speak 也是 s 开头，那这里就不要读成 Actions speak louder，而是直接省略一个 s 就可以，连读成 Actions speak louder than words.
