英语习语常有字面意义、形象意义或隐含的实际
意义。借形喻义，形成了独具本民族风格的文化意象，
除非汉语中碰巧也有借同样的形象比喻相同的意义的
对等用法，否则这样的习语是很难完好无损地转换成
汉语的。比如英语里有这样一个习语“poke one’s nose into something”，从字面上看好像可以解 释为“把鼻子伸到某样东西里去”，其实这个习语隐

10. 1. 4 意译法 (Free Translation)
意译法就是忠实于原文的内容，又不拘泥于原文 的形式而采用的按原文意思翻译的一种译法。意译法 也属于归化译法(domestication)。英语中有些习语 无法直译或直译后使人无法理解，在汉语中又找不到 同义对等的习语套译，也不能再现英语的表达形式， 这时只有放弃原文习语的形象和风格，根据上下文， 灵活地传达原作的内容。“意译时等值关系是在各 ‘级’之间自由变换的，甚至可以超过句子这一 ‘级’”。其好处是经过曲径探幽，形式改变，内容 忠实。例如：

He was the most hateful, loving strife and war and ever thirsty for blood, on the other hand he signified courage and victory in battle, and was devoutly worshipped by warriors going to war. Prayers were addressed to him before the war and spoils presented at his altar after it.Ares was not altogether without gentler feelings. From his union with Aphrodite, sprang Eros (Cupid) and other two beautiful children. He fell in love with the charming Vestal修女virgin, Ilia, who bore him and twins, Romulus and Remus. The former was destined to become the founder of Rome. Ares took the city under his protection and received a greater worship there than elsewhere in the ancient world.Eros (Cupid)爱神, 愿望Eros was the god of love, better known by his Latin name Cupid. Son of Aphrodite (Venus) by Ares (Mars), he took his place among the lesser gods of Olympus. He was represented as a little naked boy, with sparkling wings, and he carried his bow and arrows wherever he wandered. Shooting his thrilling darts in mischief, he inspired the passion of love and endowed all nature with life and the power of reproduction. The pert, naughty sprite had two kinds of arrows: the gold-tipped arrows used to quicken the pulse of love and the lead-tipped ones used to palsy it. Besides, he had a torch to kindle hearts with. Though sometimes he was blindfolded, no man nor god, Zeus himself included, was safe from his mischief.At one time the imp was wounded by his own arrows and such burning love was awakened in him for the mortal maiden Psyche that he defied the persistent interference of his mother and plucked up his courage to plead with Zeus for justice.Cupid爱神丘比特and Psyche灵魂, 精神Psyche was a princess, whose delicate, radiant beauty won her the adoration of all who looked on her. The rumor went around that she was Aphrodite herself come down to reveal her matchless charm in human form. Little by little the god dess’ shrine was neglected and her worship waned. Infuriated at the mortal beauty of her rival, the goddess told her son Cupid to avenge her by inspiring in the girl the hottest love for the lowest beings in the world.She has two elder sisters, who had been married to princely lords. As all came to admire but none was ready to marry the human goddess, her anxious parents went to consult an oracle respecting her future, who were shocked to learn that their daughter was destined for no mortal soul but for a supernatural being. Following the advice of the oracle they dressed their daughter in bridal array and led her to the top of a mountain.There she was carried down to a wonderful palace in a flowery valley by the gentle west wind. An invisible loving creature made her his bride that night, who told her to be happy and never to seek to know his name and form, for curiosity would destroy their love and happiness. At daybreak he left. Her life was made comfortable by invisible servants. But all the time her husband came at dusk and went at dawn, and she could see no one but herself.She felt lonely and homesick. At her repeated request her husband reluctantly agreed to allow her sisters to come to see her, but he warned her not to heed any of their persuasions.When her sisters had wandered through the shining halls of gold, they became maliciously jealous. They pressed Psyche to a confession that she had never seen her husband, and coaxed her into believing that he was a monster waiting to devour her.Torn between disbelief and fear, Psyche took their advice and got a lamp and a knife ready for the night. When she was sure that her husband had fallen asleep, she lighted the lamp. A shrill cry almost escaped her when she beheld the sweetest of al creatures in the world. It was Cupid himself and no other, who had been so attracted by the enthralling beauty of Psyche that he had forgotten his mother’s command to disgrace her. He had fallen in love with her himself.Unfortunately, a drop of oil fell on his shoulder, he awoke and became angry. Then he left with the disappearance of the palace.Repenting of what she had done, she started a feverish search for her husband. Wounded on the shoulder and love-sick, Cupid kept to himself in his mother’s chamber, who was angry with her son’s behavior. The goddess assigned Psyche the impossible task of sorting out the different kinds of seed and grains she had mixed tighter.An ant took pity on her and summoned a troop of its friends to her rescue. Then the enraged goddess ordered her to fetch a lock of golden fleece form the sheep grazing on a steep mountain side. The beastswere as untamed as wild lions and no mortal soul could hope to come back alive from their sharp horns and venomous teeth. With the help of a river nymph, she succeeded. Then the goddess commanded her to go with a casket to the lower world and get some of Persephone’s beauty back for her.In despair she went up to the top of a high tower and was about to cast herself down when the tower asked her to be patient and advised her how to accomplish her labour in the underworld. He warned her not to open the box when she emerged again into the light of the day. After she managed it, she was caught by curiosity and opened the box, and fell down in a swoon. Fortunately Cupid came just in time to shut the sleep in the box and saved her from a possible disaster.In the meantime Cupid went to Zeus for help. Zeus raised Psyche among the gods, and a grand feast was spread to celebrate the eternal union of the pair.Idiomspure as Psyche 西子无暇Cupid shoots so trim 月老绳牵Cupid’s arrow —signifies the magic power of love爱情魔力Upon the coming of age, she was hit by the Cupid’s arrow.Hermes (Mercury [罗神]墨丘利神)为众神传信并掌管商业、道路、科学、发明、口才、幸运等的神Immediately after he was born, Hermes (son of Zeus and Maia平原女神) was appointed god of thieves at Olympus. And a thief he became when he as barely more than a few hours old. Feeling hungry, the infant left his swaddling bands 被包，襁褓after nightfall to hunt for food. He chanced upon Apollo’s oxen grazing on a meadow and drove a number of these animals away, tying twigs around the feet of the cattle to blur their footprints. He killed two of these oxen and had a sumptuous奢侈的dinner.Then he slipped back into his little cot in his mother’s house. W hen Apollo came to question him, Hermes feigned innocence. The infuriated sun-god dragged him up to Olympus, where he was convicted of the theft and made to return the cattle to their master. In reconciliation little Hermes gave Apollo the lyre he had made out of a tortoise shell, and Apollo was so pleased with the gift that he presented his little brother with a wand权杖which could pacify conflicting forces.In due time Hermes was appointed messenger of Zeus and the gods, who equipped him with a pair of winged sandals and a winged cap to enable him to travel swifter that sight. It was Hermes who took the messages of Zeus to the world below.Hermes was a patron of travelers. His busts and statues were set up as boundary marks at cross-roads or street corners to guide passers-by. The Hermae, as these statues were called, were regarded as sacred, and their mutilation(手足等的)切断；毁伤was sacrilegious亵渎(神物)的and punishable by death. The destruction of the numerous Hermae within the city of Athens aroused such a terrible excitement among its citizens that it might be no exaggeration to state that it altered the whole course of historic development of Athens.Hermes was the god of rain and wind, and of commerce. He also took it upon himself to conduct the souls of the dead to the underworld. It was evidently this herald传令官of Zeus, holding a snake-encircled wand, who returned Persephone 【希腊神话】普西芬尼〔阴间女王，冥后〕into the outstretched arms of mother-earth, DemeterThe Woodman and MercuryOnce upon a time, a Woodman was cutting down a tree by the side of a lake. By accident he let his ax fall into the water. As he lost the tool with which he had gained his livelihood, he sat down upon the bank and felt very sad about his hard fate. To his surprise, Mercury appeared, and asked him what was the matter. When he heard the story of the man’s misfortune, he dived to the bo ttom of the lake, and, bringing up a golden ax, asked if that were the one he had lost. Hearing that it was not his,Mercury dived a second time, and, returning with a silver ax in his hand, again asked the Woodman if itwere his. The Woodman denied this too, saying that it was not his. Mercury dived a third time, and brought up the very ax that the man had lost. This the poor man took with joy and thankfulness. So pleased was Mercury at the honesty of the man, that he gave him the other two axes besides his own. When he returned home, the Woodman told his companions all that had happened.One of them decided to see if he could secure the same good fortune for himself. He ran to the lake, and threw his ax in on purpose, then sat down upon the bank and lamented his sad fate. Mercury appeared as before, and wanted to know the cause of his grief. After hearing the man’s story, he dived, and brought up a golden ax, and asked him if that were his. Delighted at the sight of the golden ax, the fellow answered that it was, and eagerly attempted to get hold of it. The God saw that he was dishonest, and refused to hand it to him. The man went home disappointed. “Honesty is the best policy.”Idioms1）Mercury fig（墨丘利的无花果）被用来比喻“获得的第一批成果”——传说罗马人把无花果树上结出的第一批果实送给墨丘利。
