20个写作常用英语成语

?A cat may look at a king.

[字面意思]猫也可以看国王。

[解释]无名小卒也可以评论大人物。人皆可以为尧舜。不要因为别人的资格不够老,或经不如你多,就不让他发表意见。

?A penny saved is a penny earned.

[字面意思]节省一个便士就等于挣了一个便士。

[解释]省钱是明智的做法。省一分就是赚一分。不要因为钱的数目不大就不把它当一回事瞧不起小钱是不对的,要记住A penny saved is a penny earned这条经验。

?A watched pot never boils.

[字面意思]眼睛盯着看的壶永远不会开。

[解释]事情在进行中,不到时候就不会有结果,要水到渠成才行。心急锅不开。你着急,急也没用!用眼睛盯着它看也无济于事,事情不会因为你着急就会有较快的进展。

?A word to the wise.

[字面意思]送给智者的一句话。

[解释]给明智而愿意接受别人意见或建议的人提出忠告。我知道你能听进去话,所以我才跟你这么说。我说的是正确的,对你有好处,而且我知道你也会听取我的意见。

?All is well that ends well.

[字面意思]结尾好就意味着一切都好。

[解释]结局好,一切都好。出自莎士比亚剧本名。在开始或中间环节出现的一些小的差错或麻烦无关紧要,没什么大不了的,只要最终的结局令人满意,那就是好的。

[字面意思]坏消息传得快。

[解释]好事不出门,坏事传千里。

?Beauty is only skin deep.

[字面意思]美貌只是肤浅的。

?Beggars can't be choosers.

[字面意思]乞丐不可能有选择。

[字面意思]安全比遗憾好

[解释]最好不要去冒险。即使不冒险你得多费些功夫,多做些枯燥无味的工作,这都值得。总比为了省事而冒险强。变体:Better to be safe than sorry.

?Easy come, easy go.

[字面意思]来的容易,去的快。

[解释]这句话适合讲给那些把什么事都看得容易的人。尤其是对那种认为挣钱容易,不把钱当钱,对任何事情都不担心的人最适合。应该提醒这种人"钱不是长在树上的"。钱不是像树上的果实一样,今年吃光了明年还会自动长出来。有些人自己不挣钱,不知道挣钱的艰辛。

?Every little helps.

[字面意思]每一小部分都有帮助。

[解释]点点滴滴,有其助益。一颗颗粮食堆成山,一块块铜板成千万。偏远地区的孩子没学上,我们有义务帮助他们。希望大家多支持,捐钱、捐书、捐铅笔,什么都行。多捐多感谢、少捐也不嫌,

Every little helps.

?Good wine needs no bush.

[字面意思]好酒不需要做广告。

成语与翻译

英语成语是英语词汇中的重要精华部分。社会生活的各个方面是英语成语取之不尽的源泉,当代英语中最常用的成语有4000余条。许多常用的英语成语来自《圣经》(Bible)和莎士比亚(Shakespeare)等文学名著。英语成语主要是口语,而汉语成语主要是书面语;English idiom 字数不固定,而汉语成语多为四字词组。下面分广义和狭义来论述英语成语。 一、英语成语的理解 (一)广义的英语成语的理解 从文体学来说,广义的英语成语(idiom)包括谚语(proverb)、俚语(slang)、俗语(colloquial)、成对词(twin words)、三词词组(trinomials)、熟语(catchphrase, lexical phrase )和习惯搭配(habitual collocation, restricted collocation)等。现举例如下: 1. 谚语、格言(proverb),警句(sentence idiom)。 英语谚语常有缩写形式,类似汉语的歇后语。例如: 1) Proverbs are children of experience.谚语是经验的产物。 2) It' s no use crying over spilt milk.倒翻牛奶,哭也没用。缩写形式:Cry over spilt milk. 含义:覆水难收。 2. 俚语(slang)。 俚语为某些人群和地区所特有,适用范围有严格限制,使用时要注意其使用的得体性和意义的准确性。例如: 1)screw up 弄糟、一塌胡涂He screwed the whole thing up from start to finish. 他自始至终一塌胡涂。 2)Pay off 贿赂 chat up 与异性搭讪 3. 口语(colloquial)。例如: snake in the grass 暗箭 hit below the belt \ stab in the back 暗箭伤人 cut the ground from under sb. 在某人背后搞鬼 4. 成对词(twin words, irreversible binomials 或 words in pairs)。英国学者福勒(H.W.Fowler) 把它比作“连体双胞胎”(Siamese twins),称为重言法(hendiadys)。例如: beer and skittles 吃喝玩乐,wax and wane 盛衰,weal and woe祸福。 5. 三词词组(trinomials)。有些固定的三词词组也被归为成语,因为它们大都也是一些固定的讲法。例如:

英语成语和谚语的翻译

一、英语成语及谚语中某些常见误解与误译由于汉语与英语、东方人与西方人之间文化背景及思维方式的巨大差异,中国人在理解英语成语、谚语时极易产生偏差。比如,有一个成语Claw me,and I’llclaw t hee.有人把它译成“以牙还牙”。这样理解就错了。应译成“你吹捧我,我吹捧你。”错译的人认为,claw 一词意为“用爪子抓”,你既然要抓我,作为报复,我也就抓你,这不是顺理成章的“以牙还牙,以眼还眼”吗?其实,大谬不然。Claw过去意为stroke;tickle(拍;呵痒),因而引申为“讨好,恭维”。由此可见,切不可单就一个词似是而非的表面意义,进行想当然的推理或类比来理解成语。另外,中国人学习英语成语往往容易犯的一个毛病就是把英语中的某些单词与汉语中概念相类似的内容进行同比,从而造成理解上的错误。例如,把to pullone’s leg(取笑某人)误解为“拖某人后腿”。把towake a sleeping wolf(自找麻烦),误解为“打草惊蛇”,把to keep the wolf from the door(使免于饥饿)误译为“御敌于门外”等等。要知道,上述例子中,pull sb’s leg寓有“故意愚弄”之意。To wake a sleeping wolf(吵醒一条睡着的狼),其后果不是把狼吓跑,而很有可能是这头狼扑过来咬你,故不应理解为“打草惊蛇”而应该是“自找麻烦”。还有,有人把a walking skeleton(骨瘦如柴的人)误解成“行尸走肉”。这一错误估计根源于 skeleton(骨骼,骷髅)这个词的词意。这一成语的寓意旨在形容一个人瘦得只剩一付骨头架子。然而某些联想力丰富的人就把skeleton类比为“僵尸”,在加上前面正好有walking一词,于是“,行尸走肉”这样一个现成的中国成语就被错误的引申出来了。请看,由于理解的不同,同一个成语的两种译义竟会如此大相径庭。还有些人不懂得英语成语的特点,只单纯从表面上的词义来进行推理判断。这当然就会造成理解上的差错和失误。比如,有的人把to eat one’s words(承认错误)误解成“自食其言”,把to have a word with sb.(与某人吵架)误解成“与某人交谈”。其实“与某人交谈”的英语为to have a word with sb.。把to take one’sbreat h away(使某人大吃一惊)误解为“使某人窒息而死”等等。笔者的一个学生曾把下面这个句字I am go2ing to take my wife’s breat h away t his evening.(我打算今晚让我的妻子大吃一惊)误译成“:我打算今晚掐死我的妻子。”问他为什么这么译,他说“:把呼吸拿走,人不就死了吗?”二、利用对比法正确理解英语成语、谚语以上各例无一不是由于不恰当的联想、推理、类比和引申造成的理解上的错误。由此可见,要学好成语,正确的理解是十分必要的。笔者认为,为了加深对成语的理解,可以运用两种不同的对比法:(一)英语本身的对比在英语中,由于用词的不同,往往使表面上似乎一样的词组或短语产生内在含义上的巨大区别。例如:tosmell a rat和to scent a rat这两个词组,单纯从词面上看,都可译成“闻到了老鼠的气味”。但to smell a rat是一个成语,要译成“怀疑(其中有诈)”。例如:From thestrange expression on his face and what he told me,I be2gan to smell a rat.(从他脸上奇怪的表情和他告诉我的事情来看,我开始产生怀疑)。而to scent a rat却并非成语,也无其他暗含的喻义,只表示闻到了老鼠的气味而已。(二)英汉两种语言的对比有些英语成语在表面含义上往往与汉语的某一成语接近,但仔细推敲,两者的含义却并不相同。例如,tot hrow a sprat to catch a whale直译为“投一条小鲸鱼去捕捉一条大鲸”。有人把它译成了“抛砖引玉”。这一理解是错误的。尽管该成语与汉语中的“抛砖引玉”的确有意义上的相似之处,但仔细对比,两者只是似是而非罢了。要知道“,抛砖引玉”指的是用自己不太好的东西去引诱旁人献出其珍品,通常只是在一个人自谦的场合下用来作为客气语。而上述英语成语却带有以小的代价

英语成语的理解与翻译

中文摘要:成语是在语言使用过程中形成一种独特的、约定俗成的、具有完整独特意义的语言。其语义并非等同组成成分意义的简单相加,人们很难从个别词义猜出整个成语的含义。那么,如何理解以及如何翻译成语就成为外语学习者面临的一个语言难点,也是外语学习者必须要解决的一个问题。本文拟就英语成语的来源,以及理解与翻译问题做些初步探讨。关键字:英语成语;成语来源;翻译 Abstract:Idiom is a language, which forms a kind of particular, accepted through common practice and has its completely meaning in the process of language using. Its meaning is not an easy addition of single word’s m eaning, so it is difficult for people to guess the meaning of an English idiom. Therefore, how to understand and translate idiom becomes difficult to foreign language learners. But, foreign language learners must face it and deal with it. This paper is about the source of English idiom, and the translation of English idiom. Key words: English idiom;Source of English idioms ;Translation 一.什么是成语(idiom) 成语是词组,其含义不同于其中单词的含义,(idiom is phrase which means something different from meanings of the separate words)是不能明显地从构成其成分的单词的含义中找到其含义的词组和句子,必须从整体上进行理解。(phrase or sentence whose meaning not obvious through knowledge of the individual meanings of the consituent words but must be learnt as a whole)[1][P121]根据以上对成语的定义,不难看出成语具备以下三大特征: 1)意义上的整体性。如:To lay heads together. “大家一起思考,集思广益”。不是“把头放在一起”。 2)不符合语法规律。如:Money makes the more to go.“有钱能使鬼推磨。”其中make 后面的不定式go前加上了to。 3)用词相对固定。A stitch in time saves nine .“及时的一针省几针。”其中的A不能用one 代替。 二.成语的来源 翻译成语之前,首先要求对它有确切的理解,弄清成语背后所蕴含的丰富文化知识和实际含义。只有在真正了解了成语的确切含义后,才能作出恰如其分的翻译。但若对成语的语源意义缺乏了解亦会构成理解上的障碍,进而对翻译造成困难。因此了解成语的来源出处对成语的理解与翻译是很有必要。
