第十九讲习语翻译Lecture 19 Idioms一、Idioms的定义：广义的idioms包括：1. set phrase短语，2. proverbs谚语，3. sayings俗语, 4. epigrams警句，5. slang俚语，6. colloquialisms 口语，7. quotations名言/语录，8. two-part allegorical sayings寓言9. allusions典故汉语中包括：1. 成语set phrases， 2. 谚语proverbs， 3. 俗语colloquialism, 4. 歇后语allegorical saying二、英语idioms的来源1．From the Bible圣经故事:1) Cast pearls before swine对牛弹琴；白费好意这个成语源自《新约。
马太福音》第7章：“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs,neither cast ye your pearls before swine,lest th ey trample them under their feet,and turn again and rend you”.2）Don’t you see the writing on the wall? 难道你没有看出大难临头了吗？（writing on the wall意为“不详之兆”，典出《旧约全书》）2. From the fables寓言故事:1) Veper and File出自《伊索寓言》，说的是一条蝰蛇（Viper）发现一把铁锉（File），以为是一顿美餐。
但铁锉说，它的天职是咬别人，而不是被别人咬。
后人借此比喻“骗人者反受人骗”，汉译时要作直译或意译处理。
2) kill the goose to get the eggs，源于希腊寓言，说的是曾有一个乡下人，因为发财心切杀死了自己饲养的那只能下金蛋的鹅，以为如此就可一次获得全部想象中的金块，但其结果一无所获。
