英语谚语中的修辞手法
浅析英语谚语中的修辞手法 摘要：所谓英语谚语，类似于汉语谚语，它是英语国家民间流行的简短而又具备一定劝诫意义的语句，英语谚语读起来朗朗上口，而且描述生动，非常容易把握，因此，被广泛流传下来。本文借鉴国内外对于英语谚语中的修辞手法的已有研究成果，并且通过生动的实例来继续对于英语谚语中的修辞手法进行探索。 关键词：英语谚语；修辞手法；拟人；典故；重复；首韵；讽喻一、引言 翻阅英语谚语，我们不难发现绝大多数英语谚语通过修辞手法来实现了“包装”，在音、形两个层面上都独具特色，给人的一种非常美好的感觉。通常情况下，英语谚语惯用拟人、典故、重复、首韵、讽喻等修辞手法。接下来，本文将对于英语谚语中的这些修辞手法进行详细的阐述。 二、英语谚语中的拟人修辞手法 英语谚语中的拟人修辞手法将人以外的无生命之物或有生命之 物当作人来描写，并将其写得既有人的动作，又有人的思想感情，有时也将人比作动物或事物，因此，增加了生动感和表现力。在英语谚语中的例子如下：（1）a cock is valiant on his own dunghill. 夜郎自大。（2）straws show which way the wind blows.草动知风向。通过英语谚语中的拟人修辞手法的运用，赋予某些词语不同于本义的新义，使其语言生动、形象，更具有感染力，给读者与读
者留下深刻的印象。 三、英语谚语中的典故修辞手法 所谓英语谚语中的典故修辞手法就是指，许多英语谚语是来自于一个历史事件或者名言的。在英语谚语中，许多谚语来来源于古典文学作品，更准确地说，有如下几种来源：希腊神话、圣经、伊索寓言以及文学巨匠的作品。英语国家的许多谚语都最早记录在这些古典文学作品当中，对于英语国家的文化有着深刻的影响，能够体现出典故英语谚语的丰富内涵和语言风格，同时，应该引起注意的是，这些来自英语典故的谚语的汉语翻译既要能较完整地表达其在原典故中的寓意，又要能为广大的中国读者所接受。例如：（1）an apple of discord.争斗之源；不和之因；祸根。（2）the heel of achilles 亦作the achilles’’ heel.唯一弱点；薄弱环节；要害。（3）helen of troy .直译”特洛伊的海伦”，源自源自荷马史诗iliad中的希腊神话故事。（4）between scylla and charybdis.锡拉和卡津布迪斯之间———在两个同样危险的事物之间：一个人逃出一种危险，而又落入另一种危险。（5）to meet waterloo.倒霉；受毁灭性打击；灭顶之灾。 四、英语谚语中的重复修辞手法 重复也叫反复，也就是为了强调某一个思想、突出某一种感情，对于英语谚语中的重点词、重要概念进行重复，从而吸引读者来关注，让读者能够记忆深刻。英语谚语中的重复修辞手法的恰当运用，

英文中经典谚语大集合
英文经典谚语（俗语）30例详解 老外平时除使用许多俚语（slang）外，也常夹些格言（adage）、俗语（proverb）、引语（quotation）、警句（saying）或是众所周知的道理（truism）。这些玩儿，也与中文里不少的格言或俗语等意义相近。使用起来，颇有「异曲同工」之妙。 1.Like attracts（或draws）like. 意思是：相同的人吸引相同的人。(like 指similar people）这与另一句谬语「Birds of a feather flock together.」（相同羽毛的鸟在一起）意义相似。（a=same）也就是咱们常说的「物以类聚」或「同声相应，同气相求」。 2.(Too much) familiarity breeds contempt. 意思是说：相处过於亲密，就会产生侮慢之心（不尊重）（即low opinion）（breed = create）这句话又与另一句俗语「Too thick does not stick.」（太稠或太浓反而黏不住）意思相近。也就是说：「closeness brings disagreement.」（亲不敬，熟生蔑）; 就是劝人：「君子之交淡如水」或「保持距离，以策安全」。 3.Once bitten（或bit），twice shy. 就是说：一次被咬，下次胆小。或是一次上当，下次小心。（shy = avoid）动词时态：bite, bit, bitten（或bit）这又与另一句俗语「A burnt child fears（或dreads）the fire.」（被灼伤的小孩怕火）相似。说白些，就是：When you have bad experience, you don't want to have the same experience again. 这不就是「一朝被蛇咬，见绳也心惊」或「一日被蛇咬，十年怕草绳」吗？ 4.A stitch in time save nine. 意思是：「一针及时省九针」。也是「一针不补，十针难缝」或「小洞不补，大洞叫苦」的味道。这句警语与「An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.」（一分的预防，胜於十分的治疗）意义相近。此外，还有：「Don't wait for a rainy day to fix the roof.（不要等到下雨时才去修补屋顶）; 或「Always prepare for a rainy day.」或「Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.」（做最坏的打算和最好的希望）这些警语，说的都是「未雨绸缪」。 5.Old habits die hard. 意思是说：改掉老习惯很不容易。「It is difficult to break an old habit.」这与另一句谚语：「You can not teach an old dog new tricks.」（你不能教老狗新把戏）。这就是所谓「江山易改，本性难移」。 6.Absence makes the heart grow fonder. 意思是：一个人不在时，使人内心更想念。 「When a person is absent, we may think of him／her more often.」与「久别情深」、「眼不见，心更念」、「人去情渐深」，或是「一日不见如隔三秋」的意味相近。 7.A penny saved is a penny earned. 据说这是Ben Franklin 的引语。照字面意义是：能存一分钱，就是赚了一分钱。後来有人改口说：Take care of your pennies（=pence）and the pounds (=dollars）will take care of themselves. 说白些，就是：If you save small amount of money, you will eventually have a large sum of money. 就是中国人所谓「积少成多，集腋成裘」。（这句话也可指小事谨慎，大事自成。） 8.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.意思是说：当在罗马时，就照罗马人的（生活）方式去
