中英语言的习语比较

从汉英语言的习语看中英文化的差异 舒前林 （陕西师范大学国际汉学院陕西西安 710062） 摘要: 习语( idiom)是某一语言在使用过程中形成的独特的固定的表达方式。本文试从汉英习语的角度来分析中英两个民族在地理环境、生产生活方式、风俗习惯、观念价值、宗教信仰、历史与文学传统等方面的诸多文化差异。本文要讨论的习语是广义的概念，包括谚语( proverb)、俚语( slang ) 、俗语 ( colloquialism )、成语、典故、歇后语等。 关键词: 汉英习语; 中英文化差异; 一、引言 汉英两种语言历史悠久, 包含着大量的习语, 它们或含蓄幽默、或严肃典雅, 不仅言简意赅, 而且形象生动, 妙趣横生, 给人一种美的享受。习语往往具有形象、简练、寓意深刻、机智幽默等特点，同时又具有极其丰富的文化底蕴。 人类生活的客观世界有其共性，在长期的生活实践中积累的经验认识往往也有共通之处。因此我们在汉英语言中能够找到一些意义和文化涵义相同或相似的习语。例如,中英两个民族的人民在古代因缺乏科学知识, 都把人的“心脏”( heart) 当作灵魂、思维、情感的中枢, 因而在汉英两种语言中都出现了大批围绕“心脏”的习语。如with a heart to heart( 心情沉重) 、heart and soul( 全心全意) 、heart to heart( 心心相印) 。另外, 英国和中国人民相同的劳动经历也使这两个民族产生一些相同的人生经验：如Strike while the iron is hot（趁热打铁）；move haste,less speed ( 欲速则不达)；to pass fish eyes for pearls( 鱼目混珠) ；castles in the air（空中楼阁）；to fish in troubled waters（混水摸鱼）；to be on thin ice（如履薄冰）；to be out at elbows（捉襟见肘）；One boy is a boy，two boys half a boy，three boys no boy.（一个和尚挑水吃，两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚没水吃。）。 这样的例子当然还可以举出一些，但必须看到的是汉英民族文化分属东、西两种文化，汉语和英语也是两个很不相同的语言体系,像上段所列的这些习语在汉英习语中所占的比例较小，多数的习语都具有鲜明的民族特点，具有明显的文化差异，从而带来交流上的障碍。这些差异是多方面、多层次的，本文试图从汉英习语的文化差异角度，探讨中英文化的各个层面即物质文化、制度文化与精神文化诸方面存在的文化差异。上面所提的六个方面大致归属如下：地理环境、生产生活方式大致是物质文化范围，风俗习惯大致属制度文化的范围，观念价值、宗教信仰、历史与文学传统则可归于精神文化的范围。 二、中英文化差异的诸方面内容

英汉谚语的文化差异及翻译

英汉谚语的文化差异及翻译 谚语在字典中的定义是短小精练的民间智慧警句，一般形式严谨，经常包括鲜明的形象和使人难忘的韵律。谚语多风趣幽默，饱含哲理，因而经得起时间的考验，广为流传。 英汉两种语言历史悠久，包含着大量的谚语，由于地理、历史、宗教信仰、生活习俗等方面的差异，英汉谚语承载着不同的民族文化特色和文化信息，它们与文化传统紧密相连，不可分割。 1. 与基督教有关的谚语 宗教是谚语的重要来源之一。汉语的谚语“平时不烧香，临时抱佛脚”明显与曾在中国广泛流传的佛教有关。包括英语在内的西方国家的主要宗教是基督教。许多英语谚语和基督教有着这样那样的关系是十分自然的。 例： Man proposes, God disposes. 谋事在人，成事在天。 God help those who help themselves. 自助者天助之。 God sends meat and the devil sends cooks. 上帝赐给食物，魔鬼派来厨师。 Each cross hath its own inscription. 每个十字架都有自己的铭文。

以上谚语明显与基督教有关，因为谚语里出现的“上帝”或“十字架”都是基督教的象征。非常有意思的一点是英语中的God经常与汉语中的“天”相对应。基督教徒崇拜上帝，英语中God save the Queen是家喻户晓的句子。当一个说英语的人突然从紧张、焦急、或压力下解脱出来的时候，会脱口而出：Thank God! 中国人崇拜“天”。中国古代的皇帝是“天子”，运气好的人是“天之骄子”。只要好心人得到报答而恶人受到惩罚，我们就会说“苍天有眼”英国人和中国人都要有寻求帮助的对象。只是说英语的人找的是上帝，而中国人找的是“天”而已。 2. 出自《圣经》和英语文学巨著里的谚语 《圣经》是最广为阅读的书之一，也是包括英语国家在内的西方世界最有影响力的宗教作品。它也被认为是一部很好的文学作品。其中的警句、格言已经成为谚语的一个重要组成部分。 例： Never cast your pearls before swine. 不可明珠暗投（不可对牛弹琴）。 Judge not according to appearance. 不可根据外表做出判断（勿以貌取人）。 Great men are not always wise. 伟人并非事事聪明。 文学作品，作为社会生活的一面镜子，是谚语的又一来源。许多汉语谚语源于中国经典文学作品，例如，“梁园虽好，不是久恋之家”源于《水浒传》；“明
