英语谚语和汉语俗语的一致性
英语谚语和汉语俗语的一致性 来源：译者| 时间：2年前| 阅读7510 次[收藏] [划词已启用] 有两则关于同一条英语谚语Blood is thicker than water的译例。其一是“清水不浓血却浓”，其二是“血浓于水”。从字面上看，上述两则译例译得固然不错，似无可厚非。译文读起来很顺，又比较易懂，但读后似有不知所云之感。这是因为译文的形象没能准确地传达出这条谚语的喻义来。Longman Dictionary of English Idioms（p.28）上对这条谚语的解释是"The relationship between people of the same family is stronger than other，relationships”因此，这则谚语似可以借用汉语中一句俗语“亲不亲一家人”来译更能表达出“属于同一血缘关系的一家人比别人更亲近一些”的寓意。 语言是文化的表现形式。谚语同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华。英语谚语是富于色彩的语言形式，一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上，英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此，翻译英语谚语时，仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性（等价性）为前提，寻求对等的表现是不够的。译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段，力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言内涵色彩，才能使译文讽喻得当，宜于说理，又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。 某些英语谚语和汉语成语、俗语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。汉译这些英语时，可惜用与其喻义相同或相近的成语或谚语及俗语直接对译。这样不但可以比较好地保持原文的神韵和形式，又使译文易于为读者或听者接受。如： Pride comes before a fall. 骄兵必败。 Amiss is as good as a mile. 差之毫厘，失之千里。 Two is company，but three is none. 两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚无水吃。 Walls have ears. 隔墙有耳。 Enough is asgood as a feast. 知足常乐。 有些英语谚语虽然在语言习惯和文化背景方面和其相对的汉语谚语之间存在着某些差异，而且所比喻的事物并不一样，但他们的喻义却相互吻合，而且表达方式也很相似，汉译这些英语谚语时，常常需要“易其形式，存其精神”，即采用形象近似的汉语成语意译。这样可使译文既喻义明显，又含而不露，且可再现原文所具有的语言效果，容易达意。如： Two can play the game.孤掌难鸣。 Newbroom sweeps clean.新官上任三把火。 Speak of the devil, and he appears. 说曹操，曹操到。 The grass is greener on the other side of the hill. 这山望着那山高。 Putting the cart before the horse. 本未倒置。 有些英语谚语意在言外，语言含蓄，寓意深刻。如果仅从字面意义直译成汉语，而不领会原文的具体含义及其效果，译文势必平淡无味。这样既不能表达意思，又有损于原文的语言形象和丰富内涵。因此，在翻译时，应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻义相同或效果相似的成语、谚语或俗语来表达，则会使译文形象生动，准确达意。试比较下列各译例。

常用英语谚语成语
1. A cat may look at a king. [字面意思]猫也可以看国王。 [解释]无名小卒也可以评论大人物。人皆可以为尧舜。不要因为别人的资格不够老，或经不如你多，就不让他发表意见。 2. A penny saved is a penny earned. [字面意思]节省一个便士就等于挣了一个便士。 [解释]省钱是明智的做法。省一分就是赚一分。不要因为钱的数目不大就不把它当一回事瞧不起小钱是不对的，要记住A penny saved is a penny earned这条经验。 3. A watched pot never boils. [字面意思]眼睛盯着看的壶永远不会开。 [解释]事情在进行中，不到时候就不会有结果，要水到渠成才行。心急锅不开。你着急，急也没用！用眼睛盯着它看也无济于事，事情不会因为你着急就会有较快的进展。 4. A word to the wise. [字面意思]送给智者的一句话。 [解释]给明智而愿意接受别人意见或建议的人提出忠告。我知道你能听进去话，所以我才跟你这么说。我说的是正确的，对你有好处，而且我知道你也会听取我的意见。 5. All is well that ends well. [字面意思]结尾好就意味着一切都好。
[解释]结局好，一切都好。出自莎士比亚剧本名。在开始或中间环节出现的一些小的差错或麻烦无关紧要，没什么大不了的，只要最终的结局令人满意，那就是好的。 6. Bad news travels fast. [字面意思]坏消息传得快。 [解释]好事不出门，坏事传千里。 7.Beauty is only skin deep. [字面意思]美貌只是肤浅的。 [解释]美貌只是表面现象而已。以貌取人靠不住。你不能只看到她有漂亮的面孔就向她求爱，你还应该考虑其它方面的因素。找结婚伴侣是要过日子，不是当海报招贴画来看的。我的忠告是两句话：Beauty is only skin-deep. True feelings are more important. 8. Beggars can't be choosers. [字面意思]乞丐不可能有选择。 [解释]你得到的不完全是你想得到的，可能条件或质量等方面差一些，但没有再选择的余地，只能接受不十分满意的事物。这就叫Beggars can't be choosers. 9. Better safe than sorry. [字面意思]安全比遗憾好 [解释]最好不要去冒险。即使不冒险你得多费些功夫，多做些枯燥无味的工作，这都值得。总比为了省事而冒险强。变体：Better to be safe than sorry.

英语成语和谚语的翻译
一、英语成语及谚语中某些常见误解与误译由于汉语与英语、东方人与西方人之间文化背景及思维方式的巨大差异,中国人在理解英语成语、谚语时极易产生偏差。比如,有一个成语Claw me,and I’llclaw t hee.有人把它译成“以牙还牙”。这样理解就错了。应译成“你吹捧我,我吹捧你。”错译的人认为,claw 一词意为“用爪子抓”,你既然要抓我,作为报复,我也就抓你,这不是顺理成章的“以牙还牙,以眼还眼”吗?其实,大谬不然。Claw过去意为stroke;tickle(拍;呵痒),因而引申为“讨好,恭维”。由此可见,切不可单就一个词似是而非的表面意义,进行想当然的推理或类比来理解成语。另外,中国人学习英语成语往往容易犯的一个毛病就是把英语中的某些单词与汉语中概念相类似的内容进行同比,从而造成理解上的错误。例如,把to pullone’s leg(取笑某人)误解为“拖某人后腿”。把towake a sleeping wolf(自找麻烦),误解为“打草惊蛇”,把to keep the wolf from the door(使免于饥饿)误译为“御敌于门外”等等。要知道,上述例子中,pull sb’s leg寓有“故意愚弄”之意。To wake a sleeping wolf(吵醒一条睡着的狼),其后果不是把狼吓跑,而很有可能是这头狼扑过来咬你,故不应理解为“打草惊蛇”而应该是“自找麻烦”。还有,有人把a walking skeleton(骨瘦如柴的人)误解成“行尸走肉”。这一错误估计根源于 skeleton(骨骼,骷髅)这个词的词意。这一成语的寓意旨在形容一个人瘦得只剩一付骨头架子。然而某些联想力丰富的人就把skeleton类比为“僵尸”,在加上前面正好有walking一词,于是“,行尸走肉”这样一个现成的中国成语就被错误的引申出来了。请看,由于理解的不同,同一个成语的两种译义竟会如此大相径庭。还有些人不懂得英语成语的特点,只单纯从表面上的词义来进行推理判断。这当然就会造成理解上的差错和失误。比如,有的人把to eat one’s words(承认错误)误解成“自食其言”,把to have a word with sb.(与某人吵架)误解成“与某人交谈”。其实“与某人交谈”的英语为to have a word with sb.。把to take one’sbreat h away(使某人大吃一惊)误解为“使某人窒息而死”等等。笔者的一个学生曾把下面这个句字I am go2ing to take my wife’s breat h away t his evening.(我打算今晚让我的妻子大吃一惊)误译成“:我打算今晚掐死我的妻子。”问他为什么这么译,他说“:把呼吸拿走,人不就死了吗?”二、利用对比法正确理解英语成语、谚语以上各例无一不是由于不恰当的联想、推理、类比和引申造成的理解上的错误。由此可见,要学好成语,正确的理解是十分必要的。笔者认为,为了加深对成语的理解,可以运用两种不同的对比法:(一)英语本身的对比在英语中,由于用词的不同,往往使表面上似乎一样的词组或短语产生内在含义上的巨大区别。例如:tosmell a rat和to scent a rat这两个词组,单纯从词面上看,都可译成“闻到了老鼠的气味”。但to smell a rat是一个成语,要译成“怀疑(其中有诈)”。例如:From thestrange expression on his face and what he told me,I be2gan to smell a rat.(从他脸上奇怪的表情和他告诉我的事情来看,我开始产生怀疑)。而to scent a rat却并非成语,也无其他暗含的喻义,只表示闻到了老鼠的气味而已。(二)英汉两种语言的对比有些英语成语在表面含义上往往与汉语的某一成语接近,但仔细推敲,两者的含义却并不相同。例如,tot hrow a sprat to catch a whale直译为“投一条小鲸鱼去捕捉一条大鲸”。有人把它译成了“抛砖引玉”。这一理解是错误的。尽管该成语与汉语中的“抛砖引玉”的确有意义上的相似之处,但仔细对比,两者只是似是而非罢了。要知道“,抛砖引玉”指的是用自己不太好的东西去引诱旁人献出其珍品,通常只是在一个人自谦的场合下用来作为客气语。而上述英语成语却带有以小的代价
