2.谚语的特点谚语是民间集体创造、广为口传、言简意赅并较为定型的艺术语句,是民众丰富智慧和普遍经验的规律性总结。根据内容,可以分为三类:
(1)认识自然和总结生产经验的谚语:如“长虫过道,大雨要到”、“东北有三宝:人参、貂皮、乌拉草”。
(2)认识社会和总结社会活动经验的谚语:如“人敬富的,狗咬破的”、“放虎归山,必有后患”。
(3)总结一般生活经验的谚语:如“寒从脚起,病从口入”、“早晨起得早,八十不觉老”。
谚语有多种: 有英语谚语、气象谚语、经典谚语、农业谚语
、卫生谚语、社会谚语、学习谚语等……
3.有关英语俗语的文化内涵及其特点英语习语是英语语言文化中不容忽视的重要组成部分。
英语习语折射着英语语言民族在地理、历史、宗教信仰、生活习俗等方面丰富的文化信息和独特的文化特色。准确掌握英语中的习语, 能帮助我们深刻理解英语词汇中的文化内涵及文化差异, 从而更加准确、传神地使用英语。
一、引言 语言是人在劳动中创造的,习语是语言特征的集中反映,它来自于普通百姓的生产劳动和生活经历,是语言的精华、语言的缩影;语言是一个任意的符号系统,习语是人在长期的语言实践中约定俗成的;语言是以交际为目的的,习语的起源就是在口头交际中使用最频繁的俚语和俗语;语言是人类智慧的表现,习语比较集中地反映出语言的修辞手段和表现手法(其中相当一部分是文学巨匠的精彩词句);语言是为人类各种活动服务的,而习语恰好生动地反映出人类生活的方方面面。 广义的习语包含比喻性词组、俚语、格言、俗语、谚语、典故等,是语言发展的结晶。
英语语言历史悠久,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,给语言增色不少。由于地理、历史、宗教信仰和生活习俗等多方面的因素决定,习语承载着英语语言民族的文化信息和文化特色,并与它们的文化传统紧密相连,不可分割。
而对英语习语的学习有助于我们掌握英语本族语者的真实语言,了解语言背后所隐藏着的丰富而有趣的文化信息。二、英语习语中隐含的历史背景 1、罗马人的痕迹 公元前49年,罗马执政庞贝和元老院共谋进攻恺撒。
当时恺撒的领地和意大利本部交界处有条小河Rubicon。恺撒不顾一切,悍然率领军队渡过此河与庞贝决战。
在渡河时他说"The die is cast."骰子已经掷下, 表明义无反顾。过了河,他还烧毁了渡船,( burn the boats) 逼得士兵毫无退路,只好勇往直前, 打败了敌人。
就是这样一段历史故事, 在英语中留下了几个常见的习语: cross the Rubicon( 渡过鲁比肯河) 喻意决定冒重大危险, 采取断然行动; burn one's boats( 烧掉自己的船) 表示破釜沉舟的决心; The die is cast. ( 骰子已经掷下) 预示着事情已经决定, 再也不能改变。 2、条顿人的征服 条顿人, 即居住在西北欧的3个日耳曼部落, 他们是盎格鲁人、萨克逊人和朱特人。
约在公元449 年, 他们开始征服不列颠。他们的入侵给英语带来了极大的影响, 并最终形成盎格鲁-萨克逊语, 即现代英语的起源。
条顿人的征服对英语的影响是全面的, 起决定作用的, 从很多英语习语还可以找到条顿人征服的影子。如cut someone to the quick 意为"大伤某人的感情", quick 这里指"皮肉",这个解释源于古撒克逊语。
Go through fire and water是"赴汤蹈火"的意思, 源自盎格鲁- 撒克逊时期的中世纪判罪法。 3、斯堪的纳维亚风暴 公元790年开始,斯堪的纳维亚人入侵英国,并在英国大批定居,他们讲的是北日耳曼语, 是现在的瑞典语、芬兰语、挪威语和冰岛语的前身。
在此后的二百年中,许多斯堪的纳维亚各族语言(北日耳曼语)的词语渗入英语词汇。据估计,现代英语中约有900个斯堪的纳维亚各族语言的单词或构词成分。
斯堪的纳维亚各族语言对英语的渗透特别深入。最常用的习语rain cats and dogs, 来自北欧神化:古代斯堪的纳维亚人的主神是奥丁(Odin),狗(dog)和狼(wolf)象征"风",猫(cat)象征"雨",所以该习语喻指"狂风暴雨"。
4、诺曼底登陆 公元1066年,诺曼底公爵威廉入侵英国,并建立了诺曼底王朝。这一事件对英国的影响巨大。
它使法语成为现代英语的三大来源之一。同时,法国文化逐渐向英国社会渗透, 影响着英语及其习语。
如: return to one's mutton 原是直译自法国田园诗中的一句: 多情的男女牧羊人在牧场上谈情说爱、海阔天空,最终还得回到现实,回到自己的羊群中来。因此,这一习语比喻"回到实际问题,言归正传"。
三、英语习语体现自然地理环境特征 生活在不同自然环境中的人会形成不同的文化, 每种文化因其地域、气候环境的特点而具有不同的特征, 习语恰恰包含了独特的文化基因。

"在广泛的意义上说,习语可包括:确定短语,谚语,俗语;警句;俚语表达;俗语;报价;两部分歇后语,其中的第一部分,总是说,是描述性的,而第二部分,有时未说明的,携带的信息(主要是在中国) 。而在中国,被称为习语作为'熟语' ,其中包括:短语,成语(通常是4个字组成的) ,俗语,谚语,格言,箴言,名言(报价或记录话语) ,警句,隽语,俚语,粗话,行话,歇后语(包括双关语) ,习语等" [ 1 ]然而,该论文将讨论英语和汉语成语在一个狭窄的意义上说,只有建立短语和谚语将讨论之中。
英语习语和汉语成语是宝石的两种语言,以及结晶两个民族的文化。大多数成语是生动的形象是比较适当用于其它事情,因此,它们通常包含独特的国家和地方的颜色。
有些成语有相当明确的含义,有的含蓄,深刻的,可能会导致大量的协会,而另一些可能包括若干含义,这取决于确定其真正的迹象。 英语和汉语成语是重要的修辞手段,语言,以及组装表现各种不同的修辞手段本身。
许多成语有对称的形式,优美,和谐的音节节奏。所有这些特点产生的特殊困难的翻译:这是更难了解和更具挑战性的文化传达的信息清楚,准确地以外的共同语言,但是,为了保持翻译的忠实,这些特点应当保留。
不仅成语似乎主要是在文学作品,而且在政治和科学论断。素质的习语翻译直接影响到整个翻译。
因此,有必要研究习语及其翻译方法严重。 2 。
之间的相似性英语和汉语成语中的修辞手段 虽然总是有一些"文化距离"的中文和英文,有很多重叠,也和它表明在许多方面。但是,联络点的论文将在于分析英语和汉语成语相似的观点修辞手段。
英语和汉语成语通常通过修辞手段,如韵,韵,重复,和对立等,目的是丰富韵和节奏。 2.1韵 "韵是发生在同一封信中或声音开始时的两个或两个以上的字继承" [ 2 ] ,它的声音不断,易于阅读和记忆。
英语和汉语成语充分优势的手段,使他们可以通过代代相传。让我们来看看一些例子。
在中国有"恍恍惚惚,红红火火,乒乒乓乓"等英文也有"凉爽的小黄瓜" (泰然自若) , "忙碌蜜蜂" (忙个不停) , "针锋相对" (以牙还牙) , "厚的小偷" (非常亲密,要好) , "唱歌的六便士" , " '的重要组成部分(主要部分) , '可能和主要' (竭尽全力。

6.外国的谚语中国的翻译两则关于同一条英语谚语Blood is thicker than water的译例。
其一是"清水不浓血却浓",其二是"血浓于水"。从字面上看,上述两则译例译得固然不错,似无可厚非。
译文读起来很顺,又比较易懂,但读后似有不知所云之感。这是因为译文的形象没能准确地传达出这条谚语的喻义来。
Longman Dictionary of English Idioms(p.28)上对这条谚语的解释是 'The relationship between people of the same family is stronger than other relationships"因此,这则谚语似可以借用汉语中一句俗语"亲不亲一家人"来译更能表达出"属于同一血缘关系的一家人比别人更亲近一些"的寓意。 语言是文化的表现形式。
谚语同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华。英语谚语是富于色彩的语言形式,一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。
在一定程度上,英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此,翻译英语谚语时,仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性(等价性)为前提,寻求对等的表现是不够的。
译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段,力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言内涵色彩,才能使译文讽喻得当,宜于说理,又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。
某些英语谚语和汉语成语、俗语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。汉译这些英语时,可惜用与其喻义相同或相近的成语或谚语及俗语直接对译。
这样不但可以比较好地保持原文的神韵和形式,又使译文易于为读者或听者接受。如: Pride comes before a fall.骄兵必败。
A miss is as good as a mile,差之毫厘,失之千里。 Two is company, but three is none。
两个和尚抬水吃,三个和尚无水吃。 Walls have ears。
隔墙有耳。 Enough is as good as a feast.知足常乐。
有些英语谚语虽然在语言习惯和文化背景方面和其相对的汉语谚语之间存在着某些差异,而且所比喻的事物并不一样,但他们的喻义却相互吻合,而且表达方式也很相似,汉译这些英语谚语时,常常需要"易其形式,存其精神",即采用形象近似的汉语成语意译。这样可使译文既喻义明显,又含而不露,且可再现原文所具有的语言效果,容易达意。
如: Two can play the game.孤掌难鸣。 New broom sweeps clean。
新官上任三把火。 Speak of the devil, and he appears。
说曹操,曹操到。 The grass is greener on the other side of the hill.这山望着那山高。
Putting the cart before the horse。本未倒置。
有些英语谚语意在言外,语言含蓄,寓意深刻。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。
这样既不能表达意思,又有损于原文的语言形象和丰富内涵。因此,在翻译时,应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻义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。
试比较下列各译例。 People who live in glass houses should not throw stones。
如译成"住在玻璃房子里的人,不应扔石头"不如译成"己有过,勿正人''或"责人必先责己"。 In fair weather prepare for the foul.如译成"晴天要防阴天",不如译成"有备无患"或"居安思危"或"未雨绸缪"。
Murder will out.如译成"谋杀终必败露",不如译成"纸包不住火"。 Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.如译成"愚者敢闯天使不敢去的地方",不如译成"初生牛犊不怕虎" One cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs。
如译成"想吃煎蛋卷,就得打鸡蛋",不如译成工"有得必有失"。或甚至可以引申为"不破不立"。
如果所要翻译的谚语喻义清新,形象逼真,按其字面直译其意,就能表达出原文的喻义来,则可直译。这样做既能较完整地保存原文的表达方式,且又可丰富我们自己的语言文化,一举两得,请看下面的译例。
God helps those who help themselves。上帝帮助那些自己帮助自己的人。
或,自助者天助之。 Money is the root of all evil.金钱是万恶之源。
An empty sack cannot stand upright.空袋立不直。 DO as you would be done by。
以你所期望的别人待你的方式待人。 这与另一谚语: Don't do unto others what you don't want others do unto you。
"己所不欲勿施于人"很相似。 Money talks。
钱能通神。 有些英语谚语常常采用对称的修辞手段。
使用这一修辞手段的目的在于加强语势,宜于说理,读后有心悦诚眼之感。汉译这些谚语时,应适当注意保持其修辞色彩,以便体现原文的表达方式。
如: You may take a horse to the water, but you can't make it drink. 如果按字面译成,"你可以把马牵到河边去,但不能叫它饮水"至少是没有充分体现这句谚语本身所具有的强烈对比色彩。从语法分析的观点看,在这个句子里,情态动词may和can虽然都表示"可能"的,但在含义上有所不同。
这里may表示"事实上的可能性",而can则表示"逻辑上的可能性"。并列连词but使前后两个分句意义相反,对比色彩强烈。
在这种情况下,译文也必须力求对偶整齐,前后呼应,形成对照。如将此句译作"牵马河边易,逼它饮水难"或"老牛不喝水,不能强按头"会更好些。
总之,即使像谚语这样孤立的语句,。
7.求英文的谚语的作用谚语是智慧的象征,一个民族语言的精华,它简洁明快、生动活泼、寓意深刻。
在英语学习中,英语谚语的学习也必不可少,它是语言的缩影,从形式到内容都集中反映了语言特征,蕴含了深刻的哲理,在英语教学中能发挥积极的作用。1、英语谚语的语言特征——从形式到内容1.1从形式上看,英语谚语的句式简洁,多用修辞。
英语谚语多用短句,平行句,和谐工整、琅琅上口,易于传诵,如:Gain time,gain life.(时间就是生命)Now or never.(机不可失,时不再来)Seeing is believing.(眼见为实)Like father like son.(有其父必有其子)Out of sight out of mind.(眼不见心不烦)Easy come easy go.(来得容易去得快)Penny wise and pound foolish.(小事聪明大事糊涂)英语谚语往往借助比喻、拟人、排比等修辞手法,生动形象、活泼幽默。如:Speech is silver silence is gold.(暗喻:雄辩是银,沉默是金)。
8.英语谚语及翻译只是一则英语笑话而已吧,没听过这句谚语,该英语笑话内容如下:
The new teacher 新老师After school ,Georage went home on the first day of September ,九月的第一天放学后乔志回家了 "Georage do you like your teacher ?" Asked his mother ,"乔志,你喜欢你的老师吗?"他的妈妈问道"I don't like her ,mother , 我不喜欢她,妈妈,because she said that three and three were six and then she said that two and four were six ,too ” 因为她说三与三是六,然后她又说二与四也是六(三加三是不是六,二加四也是六)
楼上说的条条大路通罗马应该是All roads lead to Rome
