​要表示众人拾柴火焰高或人多力量大可以用谚语 many hands make light work,可以意为“人多好办事,人多力量大,众擎易举”,它表示:

to come together for a cause

为了一个事业走到一起

to unite in the face of adversity

在逆境中团结一致

例如:

The workers gathered when the company was facing financial trouble to raise capital and proved that many hands make light work.

当公司面临财政困难时,工人们聚集在一起筹集资金,证明了人多好办事。

解析:raise capital 意为“融资”。

I have seen that many hands make light work especially when your family faces difficult.

我已经见证过人多力量大,特别是当你的家庭面临困难的时候。

In such a situation your only option is to ask for help from your family and friends because many hands make light work.

在这种情况下,你唯一的选择就是向你的家人和朋友寻求帮助,因为人多力量大。

解析:此句中的 to ask for help from your family and friends 是不定式作表语。

The troops really proved that many hands make light work when they were posted in such bad weather.

在面对恶劣的天气的时候,部队证明了真的是人多好办事。

In this scenario the only thing that your family will do is either support you unconditionally or desert you. They have to come forward and prove that many hands make light work.

在这种情况下,你的家人唯一要做的就是要么无条件地支持你,要么抛弃你。他们必须挺身而出,证明人多力量大。

解析:either … or … 这个并列连词连接两个相同的成分,在此句中是连接两个动词 support 和 desert.

人多好办事,现在都是讲究高效团队合作的社会,单打独斗的年代已经渐渐逝去,不可否认的是有些能力很强的人可以独自胜任某项工作,但是那样效率很低,有可能错失其他潜在的机会。
