常见中文俗语英译技巧

常见中文俗语英译技巧

常见中文俗语英译技巧许多中国人爱用俗语、成语、俚语。

由于中美两国文化、风俗、思想、习惯的差异,如果照字直译,或把单字「堆在一起」,老外听了,也许就会「满头雾水」、「迷迷糊糊」,成了他们所说的「只有你们中国人听得懂」的「中国英文」(Chinese English)。

在此,把一些常见的中文俗语与一般老外的说法相对比较,或许可供有兴趣的读者参考。

1. 人山人海:有人直译为:People mountain people sea.这就是「中国英文」,老外很难理解。

他们指「人多」时,通常只说:「There is a large crowd of people.」如果看到电影院门前大排长龙,也只说:「There is (was) a long movie line.」不过在诗词用语(poetic expression) 里,老外也有使用:「a (the) sea of faces」,颇有咱们「人山人海」的味道。

例如:Looking out upon the sea of faces, Mr. A delivered a touching speech.(望着一片人山人海的听众,A先生发表一篇动人的演说。

)Standing at his podium, President Clinton saw a sea of faces waving at him.(柯林顿总统站在讲台上看到人山人海的人群挥手向他致意。

)可见,说话者通常要在台上或高处,才有「人海」的感觉。

因此,可以说:I saw a sea of faces from the top of the building. 但在平地的人群中,就不说:「I saw the sea of faces.」也不说:「There is a sea of faces.」只说:「I saw a large crowd of people.」2. 家家有本难念的经:有人译成:Every family cooking -pot has a black spot. (意思是:每个家庭的锅子都有黑色的污点)这样说法,老外恐怕不能充分了解。
