谚语与歇后语

甲、大鱼吃小鱼,小鱼吃虾米 乙、弱肉强食 甲、多年的老歪树,直不起来了 乙、积重难返 甲、后长的牛角,比先长的耳朵长 乙、后来居上 甲、捡了芝麻,丢掉西瓜 乙、因小失大 甲、你走你的阳关道;我过我的独木桥 乙、分道扬镳 甲、前怕狼,后怕虎 乙、畏首畏尾 甲、打破砂锅问到底 乙、刨根问底 甲、王八看绿豆,对上眼儿 乙、一见锺情 俗语跟成语,就可能互相渗透,存在着交错现象。如: ①城门失火,殃及池鱼(形象,八个字,成语→俗语) ②三天打鱼,两天晒网(形象,八个字,成语→俗语) ③雪上加霜(形象,四字,俗语→成语) ④习惯成自然(精练,五字,俗语→成语) ⑤不敢越雷池一步(形象,精练,七字,俗语←→成语) 俗语是口语型的,成语是书面语型的。这些语例,兼有俗语和成语的某些特点,看来俗语辞典、成语辞典都可以收录,好在这种情况并不算多。 俗语和成语,有时候也可能互相转化,并同时存在。例如: ①板凳没焐热←→席不暇暖 ②打老鼠又怕碰破玉瓶儿←→投鼠忌器 ③火烧眉毛顾眼前←→燃眉之急 ④鸡蛋碰石头←→以卵击石 ⑤鸡飞蛋打一场空←→鸡飞蛋打 ⑥拉完磨杀驴←→卸磨杀驴 ⑦鲁班门前弄大斧←→班门弄斧 ⑧没喝过墨水←→胸无点墨 ⑨怕噎了嗓子不吃饭←→因噎废食 ⑩什么病吃什么药←→对症下药 ①①一网打尽满河鱼←→一网打尽 谚语只是俗语的一部分,它是一些总结知识经验,寓有思想意义的俗语。如: ①白酒红人面,黄金黑世心 ②不听老人言,吃亏在眼前 ③国家的事再小也是大的,个人的事再大也是小的 ④火车跑得快,全靠车头带 ⑤江山易改,本性难移

⑥金子碎了分量在 ⑦靠山山倒,靠水水流 ⑧留得青山在,不怕没柴烧 ⑨墨是可以磨浓的 ⑩男人有钱就变坏;女人变坏就有钱 ①①人心齐,泰山移 ①②咬人的狗是不露牙的 ①③只要功夫深,铁尺磨成针 歇后语是语言学上的术语,俏皮话是口头上的称呼。 歇后语形式上是半截话(前半为形象或事例,后半为解释、说明),实际上是要把话说得更形象些,更具体些。因此,歇后语应该包括在俗语之内。不过,歇后语中的形象常常是漫画式的,带有戏谑调侃的色彩。它用种种修辞手段,对字、词、语、句(包括俗语本身)加以修饰,使之生动活泼。因而跟谚语、描述性俗语(改称俚语),又有些不同。如: ①水仙不开花,装蒜(修饰词) ②猫哭耗子,假慈悲(修饰词组) ③大水冲了龙王庙,自己人不认自己人(修饰句子) ④木匠戴枷,自作自受(修饰成语) ⑤张飞穿针,大眼瞪小眼(修饰俗语本身) 有些成语,为了增强形象性,往往会转化成歇后语。 ①擀面杖吹火,一窍不通 ②金弹子打鸟,得不偿失 ③绿绸缎上绣牡丹,锦上添花 ④磨道里走路,没头没尾 ⑤螃蟹过河,七手八脚 ⑥十五个吊桶打水,七上八下 ⑦屎壳郎变知了,一步登天 ⑧小葱拌豆腐,一清二白 ⑨阎**出告示,鬼话连篇 歇后语良莠不齐,有些歇后语内容和形象,均不见佳,有一部分,甚至是语言垃圾,不宜滥用。有些常用的歇后语,形象较好,前后结合得比较紧密,已经跟谚语、描述性的俗语(俚语)近似。如: ①黄鼠狼看鸡,越看越稀(前为形象,后为解释,经验之谈→谚语) ②竹篮子打水,一场空(前为形象,后为解释,描述性俗语→俚语) ③芝麻开花,节节高(前为形象,后为解释,描述性俗语→俚语) 歇后语是广大人民在生活实践中创造的一种特殊语言形式。它一般由两个部分构成,前半截是形象的比喻,象谜面,后半截是解释、说明,象谜底,十分自然贴切。 例如: 一个巴掌打不响<孤掌难鸣>; 懒婆娘的裹脚<又长又臭>。 我们将歇后语条目中凡带有谐音字的归入一类,其余的按照比喻部分的性质分为三类。 第一,谐音类。如: 空棺材出葬-<目(木)中无人> 小葱拌豆腐-<一清(青)二白>

英语谚语俗语翻译

Part One I had only recently seen John in a restaurant. The news of his death came as a bolt from the blue She found the keys she had lost last month, which was like a bolt from the blue A bolt from the blue Meaning:A complete surprise, like a bolt of lightning from a blue sky. Origin:This has the feel of a Shakespearian or Biblical phrase, but it isn't as old as it sounds. There are several forms of it: 'out of the blue', 'a bolt out of the blue', etc. The earliest citation is Thomas Carlyle, in The French Revolution, 1837: "Arrestment, sudden really as a bolt out of the Blue, has hit strange victims." It is unpleasant to hear him speak on national topics, for he is a bird of ill omen. 叫他谈论国事是不愉快的,因为他常出不吉之言。 a bird of ill omen 中国有句老话:“夜猫子进宅,无事不来”,可见猫头鹰是种不吉利的象征。它往往和黑暗、神秘甚至死亡联系起来。然而在日本,猫头鹰却是吉利和幸福的代表。 奥运会的吉祥物 雕像、挂钟、水壶、牙签盒,甚至还有女士佩戴的胸针 They were only crying crocodile tears at the old man's funeral because nobody had really liked him. 在老人的葬礼上,他们在假装慈悲,因为他们之中没有谁喜欢过他。 We need not hope for lower taxes in the future ─ that would be crying for the moon. 我们不应抱任何希望将来会降低税收,这是根本不可能的事。 “不可能”,“没门”的译法 No way/There is no way! Impossible! Out of the question/That's out of the question! Not a chance! Hopeless! Pigs might fly! The sun might rise in the west! Never/Never ever ever! You are crying for the moon! Street Arabs are produced by slums and not by original sin. 流浪儿是贫民窟的产物,而不是原始罪恶的产物。 John is ashamed of his humble background. That is his Achilles' heel. 约翰因出身卑贱而自惭形秽,这是他的致命弱点。 Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own; in pain and sickness it would still be dear. 在我看来,你身上的每一个细胞都像我自己的细胞一样亲,即使你痛苦你有病,也还是一样亲。 I'll play old Gooseberry with the office, and make you glad to buy me out at a good high figure. 我要在工作上故意捣蛋,使你不得不付出高价收买我。 play gooseberry (British humorous) to be with two people who are having a romantic relationship and who would prefer to be alone. “Best be off to bed, my boy ─ ho, ho!”“No, no. We know a trick worth two of that. We won’t go home till morning, till day light does appear!” “孩子,最好上床睡吧——嗬,嗬!”“不,不,你不必跟我们玩那一套。不到明天,不到天大亮我们不归家。
