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。
