英语俗语
sacred cow：神圣不可侵犯
Sacred cow这个说法来源于本世纪初的印度。在印度，牛是神圣的，它们可以在马路上大摇大摆地走，即便影响交通也没有人敢碰它们，因为印度古代的宗教习惯是保护它们的。但是，作为习惯用语，sacred cow是指某个人，或某样东西，从来没有受到批评或嘲笑，即便在应该批评的时候也没有人敢这样做，就像印度的牛一样。
One of our biggest sacred cows is the national social security program which pays many older Americans a pension
我们最神圣不可侵犯的项目之一就是为美国老年人提供退休金的全国社会保障计划。

The Augean Stable(s) ：奥吉亚斯的牛圈（肮脏的地方，藏垢纳秽之所，积弊）

厄利斯(Elis)的国王。他有一个极大的牛圈，里面养了2000头年（一说3000匹马），30年来未清扫过，粪秽堆积如山，十分肮脏。因此，the Augean stable=very dirty place。在这里，stable 除了泛指地点外，还可代表某些不良的制度，下流的习俗和恶劣的作风等等。由此，人们用the Augean stable这个成语来比喻非常的地方或长期形成的积弊。它常比to clean, to cleanse, to reform等动词连用，表示to bring about a drastic reform. in some public evil的意思。
Although they know it is not easy to reform. the Augean stables of this sociey, they are still trying to do it
尽管他们知道革除社会积弊非常困难，但他们仍然尽力去做。

John Bull约翰牛，英国佬
a character who represents a typical English man or the English people.
“约翰牛”是英国人的绰号。19世纪的著名作家狄更斯就曾引用过。随着时间的推移，“约翰牛”的形象发生了耐人寻味的变化，由最初那个身强力壮、满脸横肉的中年船长想象，变成了一个年过半百、五短身材的矮胖子。于是漫画上出现的“约翰牛”，是个头戴宽边礼帽，
足蹬翻口皮鞋，身穿茄克衫的绅士摸样。当年那种杀气腾腾的气概收敛不少，其原来的贬义似乎变成了褒义。“约翰牛”逐渐变成了一位饱经事故的实干家形象，他的行为成了英国的人的标准行为。这样一来，John bull这个成语就成了英国人或者英国的代名词了；而与之相关的John Bullism就指“英国精神”“英国习气”或“英国人的典型性格”，John Bullist则常指“英国迷”。
In the cartoon, John Bull appears as a short, stocky figure wearing a waistcoat with the British flag on.
在漫画中，“约翰牛”常以矮小健壮的形象出现，身穿印有英国国旗的背心。

上星期天，经济系的一些学生聚集在一起漫谈。
Till the cows come home：很久，无限期
从前乳牛未经人工改造，每年都有不产奶时期。在产奶时期，它们乳房充盈，不挤奶会很不舒服，自然会主动回家给人挤奶；但是，在不产奶时期，要它们主动回家，真不知要等多久了。所以，till the cows come home有“很久”、“无限期”的意思。
:He is very long-winded and will keep on talking till the cows come home
他是个话篓子，会说个不停的。
holy cow: 对某事表示惊讶, 惊奇, 愤怒等.

吹牛talk horse

九牛一毛：a drop in the bucket
牛马不如的生活to lead a dog’s life

健壮如牛as strong as a horse
如果遇到谚语“力大如牛”，英语中却没有as strong as a cow的说法。在历史上战争频繁的西方，没有马便无法生存。而在中国，牛则是生活之本。在这种文化差异的背景下，上句话当然不能直译。所以英语把“力大如牛”译为as strong as a horse。
不同的“牛”
细数起来，英语中与“牛”相对应的词有bull，cow，calf和ox等，这些“牛”与汉语文化中的“牛”存在许多不同的国俗语义。
bull（公牛）
在英语中，“公牛”常指“体壮如牛的人”，同时还具有“桀骜不驯”“恃强凌弱”的国俗语义。1712年,英国作家约翰阿布斯诺特(John Arbuthnot)在其讽刺小说《约翰牛的生平》(The History of John Bull)中塑造了主人公“约翰牛”（John Bull），意在通过这个赳赳武夫的形象暗喻当年英国人的“专横跋扈”。随着岁月的流逝，John Bull一词的贬义已经逐渐消失，“约翰牛”现成了“英国人”的代名词。
cow（母牛）
英语中的“母牛”含有“懦弱”“胆怯”的意思，cow-hearted、cowish均含此义。相关的例句如The men were cowed into total submission.（这些人被吓得服服帖帖。）此外，cow还常被用来指“肥胖笨拙的女人（或婆娘）”。牛在印度文化中是神圣的，受此影响，英语在本世纪初出现了习惯用语“sacred cow”，用以指“神圣不可侵犯的思想、机构、制度等”。
calf（小牛）
英语中的“小牛”指“愚蠢的胆小鬼”或“稚嫩的人”，短语“calf love”常用来指“少男少女对异性的短暂爱情”或“初恋”。《圣经出埃及记》(Exodus)第32章讲到，古犹太人在摩西（Moses）上西奈山之际逼其哥哥铸成一头金牛犊来供大家顶礼膜拜。因此，英语中“worship the golden calf”指“为了物质利欲而放弃原则”或“崇拜金钱”的意思。
ox（阉割的公牛）
“ox”一词在英语中含有“愚蠢”“呆头呆脑”“笨拙”等义。英语中用“dumb ox”或“as dumb as an ox”描述“呆滞（或笨拙、沉默寡言）的人”;“play the giddy ox”则指“胡闹、干蠢事”。

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

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!
