谚语成语之翻译篇
翻译经验技巧学习分享篇
翻译到底是什么呢？很多人也会有同样的疑惑；有人把翻译看作是一门科学，因为它有自身的规律可循；有人看作是一门艺术，因为它是译者对原文再创造的过程；那么，究竟翻译的寓意是什么呢？在中国的《现代汉语词典》中是这样解释的，翻译是“把一种语言文字的意义用另一种语言文字表达出来”。
第一篇：英语谚语的翻译技巧
谚语（proverb）是群众中广为流传的现成语句，它多是口语形式的通俗易懂的短句或韵语。谚语类似成语，但口语性强，通俗易懂，而且一般都表达一个完整的意思，形式上差不多都是一两个短句。当大多数谚语的比喻意义便于理解时，就应当尽可能地采用直译法；有些英语谚语与汉语谚语相近似时，则可采用套译法；
翻译谚语时必须牢牢把握住以下三点：一、英语谚语中出现的外国外国人名或地名不能照搬进汉语译文中，同样也不能使用包括中国人名或地名的汉语谚语去套译英语谚语；二、要注意译文文体的口语化，遣词用字要通俗易懂；三、译文既要讲究艺术性，也要讲究逻辑性。如：
骄兵必败Pride goes before a fall.
差之毫厘谬以千里。A miss is as good as mile.差之毫厘谬以千里。
两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚无水吃。Two is company, but three is none.
开头不好，结尾必糟。A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
劣工咎器。A bad workman always blames his tools.
有些英语谚语意在言外，语言含蓄，喻意深刻。如果仅从字面意义直译成汉语，而不领会原文的具体含义及其效果，译文势必平淡无味。因此，在翻译时，应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻意相同或效果相似的成语、谚语或俗语来表达，则会使译文形象生动，准确达意。如：People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. 责人必先责己。
Murder will out. 纸包不住火。
One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs. 有得必有失。
总之，像谚语这样孤立的语句，翻译时也需尽一番揣摩切磋之功，否则译文就可能与原文“貌合神离”，文不达意。译事艰辛也许正在于此。
第二篇：中国成语翻译，你知多少？
相信大家对于我们国家的成语的英文翻译了解得很少吧，现在，由翻译达人为大家总结一下中国成语的英文翻译吧。
鞭长莫及用英语怎么说？其实在英语里要表达鞭长莫及很简单，就是beyond什么什么之类的，比如beyond one's reach或beyond one's graspd等，例如：
1.从利比亚到不列颠的距离更远但不是鞭长莫及。
It's farther from Libya to Britain but not beyond reach.
2.其次，由于其全球的镜像服务器的存在使得任何正常法律制裁都鞭长莫及。
Secondly, it was beyond the reach of any normal legal sanction thanks to its global mirrored servers.
闭关自守用英语怎么说？闭关自守一般都指某个国家，所以英语翻译也跟国家有关：close the country to international intercourse。
闭关自守的经济是Closed economy，而一个闭关自守的国家a hermit nation，下面看几个例句：
1.With few other investment options in a closed economy, they put a big chunk of savings into real estate.
在一个闭关自守的经济中，由于几乎没有其它投资选择，中国人把大量储蓄投入了房地产。
比上不足比下有余用英语怎么说？有两种比较好的表达方法：
1.worse off than some, better off than many
2.to fall short of the best, but be better than the worst
这样的话，上面那句话：在些地方我不如人，但有些地方人不如我，比上不足，比下有余。
我们就可以直接用这两种表达方法来表达，即准确又简练。
本末倒置用英语怎么说？我们用put the cart before the horse来表示，你想想，马车，是不是马应该在前面，如果把马放在马车的后面，岂不是本末倒置了？例如：
1.如果你把由下至上的规划摆在由上至下的前面，那你就是本末倒置了。
If you put bottom-up planning ahead of top-down planning, you’re putting the cart before the horse.
2.第五，纾困行动本末倒置，在清理资产负债表之前，就注入资本和流动性。
Fifth, the bail-out put the cart before the horse by pumping in capital and liquidity before cleaning up balance sheets.
背道而驰用英语怎么说？背道而驰可以用run counter to来表示，例如：
1.我感觉到其中掺杂着宿命情绪和乐观情绪，但与我的想法背道而驰。
I sensed an odd mix of fatalism and optimism, which both run counter to my own views.
2.BPM就是要建立敏捷性，因此漫长的技术实施与BPM的任务是背道而驰的。
BPM is all about creating agility, so lengthy technology implementations run counter to the BPM mission.
悲欢离合用英语怎么说？悲欢离合我们可以用vicissitudes of life来表示，例如：
1.So there are many stories of vicissitudes of life in the world every day.
所以这个世界天天上演着悲欢离合的故事。
2.It is precisely because a lot of harsh experience, level by level, as deposited to form played
a prime time, all vicissitudes of life story.
正是由于很多残酷的经历，那样一层一层地沉积下来，组建起了青春年华里，所有悲欢离合的故事。
笨鸟先飞用英语怎么说？我们可以用A slow sparrow should make an early start或make an early start来表示，例如：
1.笨鸟先飞。你知道的，我在学语言方面比较笨。
A slow sparrow should make an early start. You know, I am not quick at learning any language.
2.虽然不是天才可是咱知道笨鸟先飞！
Our talent is not know but slow need to start early!
卑躬屈膝用英语怎么说？我们可以用bow and scrape cringe或cringe before sb.来表示，例如：
1.He cringed before a policeman.
他对警察卑躬屈膝。
2.So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
因你的大能仇敌要在你面前卑躬屈膝。
饱食终日无所事事用英语怎么说？用to eat the bread of idleness来表示，例如：
1.Besides, that would be all recreation and indulgence, without the wholesome alloy of
labour, and I do not like to eat the bread of idleness.
再说，那只不过是沉湎于娱乐消遣，没有一点需要苦苦开动脑筋的有益因素，我可不喜欢过这种饱食终日无所事事的生活。
饱经风霜用英语怎么说？我们可以用weather-beaten来表示，例如：
1.其中一个饱经风霜的骑手说：哦，我们在拉合尔的集市上买了自行车。
“Oh, we bought the bicycles in the bazaar in Lahore,”one of the weather-beaten riders replied.
包罗万象用英语怎么说？可以用all-embracing和all-inclusive来表示，例如：
1.你不可能提出一个包罗万象的建议。
You can not possibly make an all-embracing proposal.
半途而废用英语怎么说？我们可以用give up halfway或leave sth. Unfinished来表示，例如：
1.这项试验一定要搞到底，不能半途而废。
We must carry the experiment through to the end, not give up halfway.
百折不挠用英语怎么说？我们可以用be indomitable来表示，例如：
1.We passed the kind of military servicemen should also be indomitable fighting spirit and indomitable fighting spirit.
我们经过军训也应有军人那种百折不挠的精神与坚韧不拔的斗志。
2.If machines knew as much about each other as we know about each other (even in our privacy), the ecology of machines would be indomitable.
如果机器之间能像人类相互了解一样（甚至在我们隐秘的时候），机器的生态学将不可战胜，百折不挠。
百闻不如一见用英语怎么说？我们可以用Seeing is believing来表示，例如：
1.While to an extent "seeing is believing", quite often it is what you don’t see that makes the difference.
尽管在某种程度上"百闻不如一见"，但在相当多的时候，不为你所见的事情才起着决定性的作用。
百里挑一用英语怎么说？百里挑一直接的意思就是从一百人里面挑一个，英语里面类似，用one in hundred来表示，当然还有其他一些比较好的说法，请参考下面的例句：
1.她认为她的丈夫是百里挑一的好人。
She thinks her husband is a man in a million.

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。
