翻译 十年树木，百年树人 英语

It takes three generations to make a gentleman.
十年树木，百年树人。

It takes ten years to grow tree,but a hungred to rear people.

现在已经被人们接受的中式英语是
It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred to rear/cultivate people.

如果比较地道就是
It takes three generations to make a gentleman.

后面的是英国谚语，所表现的内容是一样的，但没有中文的对比性。

十年树木，百年树人
It takes three generations to make a gentleman. 或者
It takes ten years to grow trees but a hundred years to educate people.

这句话经常可以在报纸，杂志上看到。^_^

两句话都行（推荐第一句）

t takes a decade to become a tree, and a century to become a man.
