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

从英汉谚语对比看中英文化差异
从英汉谚语对比看中英文化差异 谚语是一个国家人民日常工作经验概括与总结，其内容精辟,寓意深邃,具有广泛的感染力,从中折射出一个国家的地理,历史,社会制度,生活哲理,社会观点和态度及其丰富的文化内涵.作为一种语言,谚语的独特魅力在于它是民族文化的精邃.既反映了一个民族文化的共性又反映了其个性——受该民族的价值观念，宗教信仰，审美习惯，历史文化，社会制度和社会意识形态的影响。比如，居住在沿海一带，靠海生活的民族，其谚语往往涉及海上航行，经受风雨，捕鱼捉虾。而游牧民族的谚语则多涉及沙漠，草原，牛羊，骆驼和豺狼。谚语是民间流传的至理名言，措辞简练，便于记忆。谚语内容精辟，语言生动，短小精悍，通俗易懂，因而有广泛的感染力。正如培根所说：“谚语是一个民族天才，机智和精神的体现。” 正如上所说，语言与文化是分不开的。语言是文化的一部分，但是它又是一种特殊的文化。语言与文化间的关系，是双向的影响制约的关系。有些社会学家认为，语言是文化的冠石——没有语言，就没有文化；从另一个方面看，语言又受文化的影响，反映文化。可以这样说，语言反映一个民族的特征，它不仅包含着该民族的历史和文化背景，而且蕴涵着该民族对人生的看法，生活方式和思维方式。社会学家告诉我们，一切文化是独特的，互不相同的。人类学家Sapir在其《语言论》中说：“语言是个底座，说一种语言的人是属于一个种族或几个种族的，也就是说属于身体上具有某些特征而又不同于别的群体的一个群。语言…….决定我们生活面貌的风格和信仰的总体。” 不同的民族在漫长的历史进程中孕育了独具特色的文化。总的说来，英美文化的主线是个人主义（或称个人本位），而中国文化（以汉族文化为代表）则以集体主义（或称人伦本位）为主线。此外，英美文化受宗教的影响比较大，而儒家思想则在中国的文化中留下深深的烙印，漫长的封建社会对中国文化的影响也是显而易见。下面从几个方面来看英汉谚语的异同

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
中英习语
一、英汉习语中所反映的文化差异 朱光潜先生在《谈翻译》一文中说："外国文学最难了解和翻译的第一是联想的意义……"，"它带有特殊的情感氛围，甚深广而微妙，在字典中无从找出，对文学却极要紧。如果我们不熟悉一国的人情风俗和文化历史背景，对于文字的这种意义就茫然，尤其是在翻译时这种字义最不易应付。"英国文化人类学家爱德华·泰勒在《原始文化》（1871）一书中，首次把文化作为一个概念提了出来，并表述为："文化是一种复杂，它包括知识、信仰、艺术、道德、法律、风俗以及其作社会上习得的能力与习惯。"可见文化的覆盖面很广，它是一个复要的系统。语言作为文化的一个组成部分，反映一个民族丰富多彩的方化现象。 1、生存环境的差异 习语的产生与人们的劳动和生活密切相关。英国是一个岛国，历史上航海业曾一度领先世界；而汉民族在亚洲大陆生活繁衍，人们的生活离不开土地。比喻花钱浪费，大手大脚，英语是spend money like water ，而汉语是"挥金如土"。英语 中有许多关于船和水的习语，在汉语中没有完全相同的对应习语，如to rest on one's oars （暂时歇一 歇），to keep one's head above water （奋力图存），all at sea （不知所措）等等。 在汉语的文化氛围中，"东风"即是"春天的风"，夏天常与酷署炎热联系在一起，"赤日炎炎似火烧"、"骄阳似火"是常被用来描述夏天的词语。而英国地处西半球，北温带，海洋性气候，报告春天消息的却是西风，英国著名诗人雪莱的《西风颂》正是对春的讴歌。英国的夏季正是温馨宜人的季节，常与 "可爱"、"温和"、"美好"相连。莎士比亚在他的一首十四行诗中把爱人比作夏天，Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?/Thou art more lovely and more temperate 。 2、习俗差异 英汉习俗差异是多方面的，最典型的莫过于在对狗这种动物的态度上。狗在汉语中是一种卑微的动物。汉语中与狗有关的习语大都含有贬意："狐朋狗党"、"狗急跳墙"、"狼心狗肺"、"狗腿子"等，尽管近些年来养庞物狗的人数大大增加，狗的"地位"似乎有所改变，但狗的贬义形象却深深地留在汉语言文化中。而在西方英语国家，狗被认为是人类最忠诚的朋友。英语中有关狗的习语除了一部分因受其他语言的影响而含有贬义外，大部分都没有贬义。在英语习语中，常以狗的形象来比喻人的行为。如You are a lucky dog （你是一个幸运儿），Every dog has his day （凡人皆有得意日），Old dog will mot learn mew tricks （老人学不了新东西）等等。形容人"病得厉害"用sick as a dog ，"累极了"是dog-tired 。与此相反，中国人十分喜爱猫，用"馋猫"比喻人贪嘴，常有亲呢的成份，而在西方文化中，"猫"被用来比喻"包藏祸心的 女人"。 3、宗教信仰方面 与宗教信仰有关的习语也大量地出在在英汉语言中。佛教传入中国已有一千多年的历史，人们相信有"佛主"在左右着人世间的一切，与此有关的习语很多，如"借花献佛"、"闲时不烧香，临时抱佛脚"等。在西方许多国家，特别是在英美，人们信奉基督教，相关的习语如Good helps those who help themselves （上帝帮助自助的人），也有Go to hell （下地狱去）这样的诅咒。 · 全国格斗大赛开始· 银行卡· 沟通无极限手机· 魔法表情秀出百变心情· 全国格斗大赛开始· QQ
英汉谚语的文化差异及翻译[1]
摘要:谚语来源于生活，是一个民族语言和文化的高度浓缩和集中体现。它可以反映出一个国家的地理、历史、宗教等文化背景。研究一个国家的文化必然要研究其谚语。英汉谚语作为两种不同的语言瑰宝，由于其独特的文化而表现出明显的差异。因此,如何忠实地翻译谚语,把一种文化在另一种文化中再现出来,成了每一个译者不可推卸的责任。本文借助一些典型的例子，从起源、地理环境、风俗习惯、宗教信仰、历史文化等文化侧面入手，进行比较与分析，探讨了英语谚语和汉语谚语之间存在的差异。英汉谚语本身的特点以及其独特的文化背景使谚语的翻译比较困难。为了忠实、通顺地再现英语原谚,可以灵活运用四种译法。本文讨论了直译、意译、对等翻译、直译和意译相结合等翻译方法。 关键词：英汉谚语；文化；文化差异；翻译原则；翻译方法 Abstract:Proverbs, which derive from life are the condensation and embodiment of the language and culture of a nation. They can reflect geography, history, customs of a nation. So it is necessary to study a nation's proverbs when we try to study its culture. English and Chinese proverbs, being treasures of two different languages, see distinct differences resulted from cultural differences. This essay uses some typical examples to compare and analyze the differences between English and Chinese proverbs from the point of origin, geographical environment, customs, religious beliefs and historical culture, etc. Proverbs are difficult to translate because of their distinctive characteristics and their unique cultural backgrounds. In order to present an adequate translation of a proverb, we can use four translation methods flexibly: literal translation, free translation, equivalent translation and literal translation combined with free translation. Key words: English and Chinese proverbs; culture; cultural differences; translation principles; translation methods 一、引言 谚语来源于生活，是一个民族语言和文化的高度浓缩和集中体现。英国哲学家弗朗西斯?培根说：“Genius wit and spirit of a nation are discovered by their proverbs.”（一个民族的天赋、智慧和精神都从他们的谚语中表现出来）。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]本文借助一些典型的例子，从起源、地理环境、风俗习惯、宗教信仰、历史典故等文化侧面入手，探讨了英汉谚语之间存在的文化差异。 由于英汉两种语言的文化背景差异，同样字面意义、形象意义的话可能具有完全不同的隐含意义。隐含意义才是说话人或作者所要表达的真正意义。英汉谚语之间的多方面差异可归为两类：一是形象意义的差异，一是隐含意义（包括褒贬义）的差异，而它们都是字面以外的意义，即文化差异的具体反映。[2]本文试图对英汉谚语的翻译作一些探索，提出了英语谚语翻译的具体原则及方法。 那么何为谚语呢？谚语是通俗简练、生动活泼的韵语或短句，它经常以口语的形式在人民中间广泛地沿用和流传，是人民群众表现实际生活经验或感受的一种“现成话”。[3]它是在民
