I'm really happy for them but I do hope that Jane will help Tim change his bad habits - Tim used to be messy, forgetful and always late for everything!
我真的為他們兩人感到高興 , 不過我特別希望簡能幫助蒂姆改掉他的壞習慣,蒂姆不整潔、健忘,而且做什么都遲到!
I don't think he'll change - a leopard doesn't change his spots.

Quite a lot Feifei.
菲菲,有很大的關系 。
The phrase - a leopard doesn't change its spots OR a leopard can't change its spots - means he won't change.
這個短語的意思是他不會改變的 。
He will always be the same person and his bad habits are here to stay.
他會一直這樣,他的壞習慣也會持續下去 。
Oh I see. So his bad habits will never change - they will always stay the same.

So Rob, you are comparing a leopard, who can never change its spotty appearance, with someone who will never change the way they behave?

You've got it. Let's hear some examples of how people use the phrase...

Freddie promised he wouldn't get into trouble at school but I don't believe him - a leopard can't change its spots.
弗雷迪承諾他不會在學校惹麻煩,可是我不相信他,所謂江山易改 , 本性難移 。
A leopard can't change its spots - and someone can't change their habits. So Rob, you don't think Jane will be able to change Tim?
豹子不能改變自己的斑點 , 人們也不會改變他們的習慣 。羅布 , 你認為簡能改變蒂姆嗎?
No - he's stubborn - maybe he's going to have to change Jane - she is very neat and tidy and always turns up on time - maybe he could teach her to relax more - chill out.
不能 , 他非常頑固 , 可能他會改變簡,簡整潔又干凈,而且很準時,可能蒂姆會讓簡放松一些 。
