4. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealth, and wise.。

本句的主语是由and连接的两个动词不定式短语，被视为一个概念，所以谓语动词用单数形式；如果表示两个概念，谓语动词用复数形式。

eg: To buy some food and (to) water the trees are my jobs today.

5. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.。

begin with 的意思是“以……开始；以……为起点”。

eg: I am going to begin with an English song. 6. Well begun is half done.

本句是省略句，补全后是：That is well begun is that it is half done. 7. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish.

penny wise 还可以写成penny-wise, 意思是“小事上精明的；小数目上节约的”；同样，pound foolish 也可以写成pound-foolish, 意思是“大数上糊涂的；大数上马虎的”。

都属于合成形容词。

eg: 她是个斤斤计较的女人。

She is a penny- wise woman. 8. These sayings help understand the world and form good habits, or encourage people to work hard and as a team. 这些谚语有助于人们了解世界，养成好习惯，或者鼓励人们团结一致努力工作。
