A. 簡(jiǎn)單句  例如：Content is all. Content is happiness.

B. 比較級(jí)句  例如：①Enough is as good as a feast. ② Content is more than a kingdom.

C. 定語(yǔ)從句  例如：①He who is contented is always happy. ② Content is the philosopher’s stone, that turns all it touchs into gold. 

D. 狀語(yǔ)從句  例如：The poor are rich when they are satisfied.

E. 賓語(yǔ)從句  例如：He is wise that knows when he is well enough.

F. 祈使句  例如：Leave well done 

在英譯漢句子中做主語(yǔ)有抽象名詞（enough，content，etc.）代詞（he)和形容詞名詞化的詞（the poor)等。

另從漢語(yǔ)句子上看，原句是肯定句，而英譯中使用了正話反說(shuō)或用表否定意義的詞。例如：never，not，nothing.

例如;①A discontented man knows not where to sit easy. ②Blessed is he who expects nothing，for he shall never he disappointed.

其次，修辭變化。此漢語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)并沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)修辭變化，但英語(yǔ)表達(dá)的某些句子使用了修辭手法。最典型的是明喻、暗喻和對(duì)比的使用。

A. 含有明喻的句子：例如；Enough is as good as a feast,此句明喻的特征是使用了喻詞as as，并用喻詞把本體enough與喻 體feast連接了起來(lái)。

B.含隱喻的句子例如：①Content is the philosopher's stone， that turns all it touches into gold.
