A. 简单句  例如：Content is all. Content is happiness.

B. 比较级句  例如：①Enough is as good as a feast. ② Content is more than a kingdom.

C. 定语从句  例如：①He who is contented is always happy. ② Content is the philosopher’s stone, that turns all it touchs into gold. 

D. 状语从句  例如：The poor are rich when they are satisfied.

E. 宾语从句  例如：He is wise that knows when he is well enough.

F. 祈使句  例如：Leave well done 

在英译汉句子中做主语有抽象名词（enough，content，etc.）代词（he)和形容词名词化的词（the poor)等。

另从汉语句子上看，原句是肯定句，而英译中使用了正话反说或用表否定意义的词。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，修辞变化。此汉语谚语并没有出现修辞变化，但英语表达的某些句子使用了修辞手法。最典型的是明喻、暗喻和对比的使用。

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词as as，并用喻词把本体enough与喻 体feast连接了起来。

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