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。

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

阅读评析下列有关谚语的解释译文及谚语的翻译效果,并进行翻译策略和翻译技巧的归类Proverbs are the popular sayings that brighten so much Latin American talk, the boiled-down wisdom that you are as apt to hear from professors as from peasants, from beggars as from elegantes. Brief and colorful, they more often than not carry a sting. 谚语是使拉丁美洲人民言谈生动活泼的流行俗语,是洗练睿智的语言,大学教授说,田野农夫也说,市井乞丐说,名门闺秀也说。谚语简洁明快、丰富多彩,往往带刺。 When a neighbor?s dismally unattractive daughter announced her engagement, Imelda remarked, “You know what they say, Senora: …There's no pot so ugly it can’t find a lid.?” And when her son-in-law blustered about how he was going to get even with the boss who had docked his pay, Imelda fixed him with a cold eye and said, “Little fish does not eat big fish.” 邻居一个丑八怪的女儿说她订婚了,伊梅尔达就说:“太太,你可听见大伙儿讲开了…罐儿配个盖子不发愁(姑娘再丑,找个汉子不必忧)。” 当伊梅尔达的女婿气势汹汹要找克扣他工资的老板算帐时,她冷眼瞪着他说:“小鱼吃得了大鱼吗?” One afternoon, I heard Imelda and her daughter arguing in the kitchen. Her daughter had quarreled with her husband's parents, and Imelda was insisting that she apologize to them. Her daughter objected.一天下午,我听见伊梅尔达和女儿在厨房争论开了。原来是女儿刚跟公婆吵了嘴,她非要女儿去赔不是不可。做女儿的却偏不依。 “But, Mama, I just can?t swallow them, not even with honey. They talk so big until we need something; then they’re too poor. So today when they wouldn?t even lend us enough to pay f or a new bed, all I did was say something that I?ve heard you say a hundred times: …If so grand, why so poor? If so poor, why so grand?? “可是,娘,我受不了,就是拌了蜜也咽不下呀!他们满嘴讲大话,可是一旦求上他们,却又穷得不得了。就拿今天来说吧,我们想借一点刚够买一张新床的钱,他们却不肯,我只得讲了些你平日讲过几百遍的话:…既然真阔气,何必又装穷?既然真正穷,何必摆阔气?? “Impertinent!” snorted Imelda. “Have I not also taught you, …What the tongue says, the neck pays for’? I will not have it said that I could never teach my daughter proper respect for her elders. 伊梅尔达鼻子哼了一声:“没家教!难道我还没有教过你:…舌头欠债,脖子还债??我才不愿意让人家指脊梁骨,说我根本就不会教女儿尊敬长辈。And before you go to beg their pardon, change those trousers for a dress. You know how your mother-in-law feels about pants on a woman. She always says, …What was hatched a hen must not try to be a rooster!?” 去赔不是吧,可先得用女服换掉男裤。你婆婆最讨厌妇女穿男裤你是知道的。她总是唠叨着。“孵出来的母鸡还想冒充公鸡?” Her daughter made one more try. “But Mama, you often say, …If the saint is annoyed, don’t pray to him until he gets over it.? Can?t I leave it for tomorrow?” 做女儿的还想争论一番:“可是,娘,你不是常说吗,得罪了菩萨也得等菩萨消了气再磕头嘛!明天再说难道不成吗?”. “No, no and no! Remember: …If the dose is nasty, swallow it fast.? You know, my child, you did wrong. But, …A gift is the key to open the door closed against you.? “不,不,不成!要记住;…药越难吃,越要快吃。?你知道,孩子,是你错了嘛!不过,…大门把你关在外,礼物送到自然开。? I have a cake in the oven that I was making for the Senora?s dinner, I will explain to the Senora. Now, dear, hurry home and make yourself pretty in your pink dress. By the time you get back, I will have the cake ready for you to take to your mother-in-law. 我炉里正烤着蛋糕,本是给太太当正餐的,这我可给太太解释解释。好吧,乖孩子,赶紧回家,穿一身粉红衣服,打扮得漂漂亮亮的。等你回来时,蛋糕也就好了,拿去送给婆婆。
