Why
do we use Rome
wasn’t built in a day, and don’t use Rome is not built in a
day?
Rome does not refer to
the city of Rome only. It refers to Roman
Empire. That is the great
country that Rome built more then 2000
year ago. It
was a great empire and of course you
cannot build
anything good or great in
just a short
time.
empire 
n. 帝国,
帝权
In what
situation do we use this
expression Rome wasn't built in a day?
E.g. Your friend wants to learn how
to do something, like typing
or swimming and at first
your friend feels a little discouraged,
because it is not easy to learn a new
skill, but you tell him,
"Hi, come on. Rome wasn't built in a
day!" we want to encourage
our friend with this
saying.
typing
n. 打字,
键入
discouraged adj.
气馁
encouraged 被鼓励的
saying
n. 话, 谚语
