英语谚语大全
英语谚语大全 英语谚语大多 起源于 民间口语,也有一部分源于 文化典籍或 宗教文献。它们源远流长,在历史长河里兼收并蓄,得到不断的丰富和发展。经过千锤百炼,终成为简洁生动、意味深长、富有哲理的英语的精华。本文主要从 民间口语、 文化典籍和 宗教文献3 个方面对英语谚语的 起源进行了探讨,旨在揭示谚语所反映的社会的发展进程、人民群众的思想观念、价值取向及其超越时空的价值和意义。恩格斯在《自然辩证法:劳动在从猿到人转变过程中的作用》中指出:“语言是从劳动当中并和劳动一起产生出来的⋯⋯”[1 ]语言是一种社会存在物,是随着人类的实践而形成发展起来的交流系统,是人类社会实践的共同创造物。作为日常口语的一部分,谚语的 起源十分悠久。其源头是人类先民的生产劳动,他们的实践、感知和经验,经过漫长的历史进程,不断积累、概括和提炼,并随着社会的发展和人们活动范围的扩大,传播开来。始于 民间口语的英语谚语,在传流的过程中,伴随文字的出现,逐渐进入到书面文献中。 文化典籍中的“雅谚”有些可追溯到民间流传的“俗谚”,有些已不可考,但萌生于 民间口语或是由某些大众化说法提炼而来应是不争的事实。本文主要从 民间口语、 文化典籍、 宗教文献3 个方面对英语谚语的 起源进行探讨,旨在揭示谚语所反映的人类生产、生活历程和超越时空的价值和意义。一、 民间口语谚语是在群众中流传的固定语句,用简单通俗的话反映出深刻的道理。英语谚语绝大多数来自民间,是人民群众生活经验的总结,人力资源咨询凝结着人民大众的智慧。英语谚语中有大量关于农业生产、气象、渔牧、狩猎的谚语,如气象谚语、节令谚语、农事要诀等,通常称为“农谚”。 Evening red and morning grey are the signs of a fineday. (晚霞红,晨雾蒙,天会晴。) A red sky at night is the shepherds’delight . (向晚天发红,羊倌喜盈盈。) Rain from the east ; wet two days at the least . (风雨东方起,至少两天雨。) 这几个谚语反映的都是气象常识,如热冷的交替,晚霞、晨雾主晴等,都是从事农业生产的先民长期的经验积累形成的对天气的认识。 Ill weeds grow fast . (杂草长得快。) Out of old field comes new corn. (老田出新谷。) A year of snow , a year of plenty. (瑞雪兆丰年。) After a rainy winter follows fruitful spring. (今冬雨水足,来春果满枝。) 这几条谚语反映了人民群众对田地、庄稼特点的认识,还表达了他们对五谷丰登的祈盼。先民们生产工具落后,生活条件恶劣,随时面临着毒蛇猛兽的侵袭和疾病带来的死亡,加之当时交通不便,隔山隔水,交流少,活动范围窄,所以“家”的观念在人们心中非常强。面对严酷的大自然,他们唯有在“家”里才能得到慰藉,找到安全感。下面的几条谚语正是“家”或乡土观念的反映。 East or west , home is best . (东好西好,家里最好。) There is no place like home. (没有什么地方能像家里一样。) Better at home than a mile away from it . (在家万般好,出门时时难。) Every one seeks his own house. (家是自己的好先民们除从事繁重的农业生产劳动外,还会打猎或捕鱼以弥补生活的匮乏,这方面的经验在英语谚语中也有所反映。 Hunger drives the wolf out of the woods. (饥饿引狼出森林。) Great fish are caught in great waters. (要抓大鱼,就下大海。) The fish will soon be caught that nibbles at the everybait . (爱咬钩的鱼逃不掉。) A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. (一鸟在手胜过二鸟在林。) An old fox is not easily snared. (老狐狸难上圈套。) Two dogs will kill a lion. (两狗可杀一狮。) If you run after two hares , you will catch neither.(一人追二兔,难免两手空。) 人类早期的生产劳动,由于生产工具原始,完全靠体力,靠长时间的辛苦劳作,翻土、播种、收割都有时间、季节限制,耽误不得,正所谓“农时不可误”;又由于渐渐意识到生命无常,生命短暂,因而感叹时光短促、劝人珍惜时间的英语谚语不少。 All time is no time when it is gone. (光阴一去不复返。) Time is money. (时间就是金钱。) Time flies. (时光如梭。) 早期的人类势单力薄,无论是农耕或狩猎,都以群体出动、集体协作为主,有些英谚正是反映集思广益、共同协作这方面生活的。 So many heads so many wits. (三个臭皮匠,抵个诸葛亮。) Many hands make light work. (人手多,好办事。) Two eyes see more than one. (两只眼睛比一只眼睛看得清。) Drop by drop the oceans are filled ; stone by stonethe walls are built . (涓滴之水汇成海;一石一石筑成墙。) 英语属于印欧语系,印欧语系的原创型文化滥觞于古希腊文化。古希腊所处的地理位置正居于尼罗河、两河、小亚细亚和南欧之“要冲”,生活在希腊半岛和爱琴海诸岛的先民从海中取食,靠海吃海,久而久之,便形成了海洋型文化特点。后来的英伦三岛又为大海环抱,受之于古希腊的海洋文化因子得以传承、光大。英语谚语中有大量涉及海上航行、经风受雨、捕鱼捉蟹的内容,这正是英语民族,以及整个西语民族地理位置和海洋型文化的反映。 In a calm sea , every man is a pilot . (在平静的海上,人人都是领航员。) The good seaman is known in bad weather. (坏天气才能识出好水手。) A great ship asks deep water. (大船行深水。) In the deepest water is the best fishing. (最深的水里好捕鱼。) Hoist sail when the wind is fair. (趁着风好扬起帆。) He that would sail without danger , must never comeon the main sea. (谁在航行时不冒险,就永远不要来到大海上。) The great fish eat up the small . (大鱼吃小鱼。) The sea refuses no river. (江海不拒细流。) 这些谚语是濒海居民或水手的经验之谈,有些已超出了航海的经验范围,而具有更为深广的含义,如The sea refuses no river. 就有“聚沙成塔,集腋成裘”的内涵。源于 民间口语的谚语,除反应人民群众生产劳动中的经验外,还表现了他们在社会斗争中的经验和道德、伦理、是非等观念。If you would not be cheated , ask the price at threeshops. (货比三家不吃亏。) There is a black sheep in every flock. (害群之马到处有。) Pride goes before a fall . (骄兵必败。) 这几条谚语都是人们实际生活斗争经验教训的总结。自然界的所有生物都有求生存的本能,作为有高级智慧的人更是如此。几千年来,丰衣足食、健康长寿一直是人们的追求与渴望。有关饮食、锻炼、健康、长寿方面的英语谚语非常丰富。 Eat at leisure , drink with meas ure. (饭菜尽情吃,饮酒须节制。) Gluttony kills more than the sword. (暴食杀人胜刀剑。) He that eats least eats more. (饮食有节可长寿。) Many dishes , many diseases. (猛吃猛喝,疾病必多。) 这几则谚语强调饮食节制的重要性。 Rest breeds rust . (人不活动,百病丛生。) Difficulties strengthen the mind , as labor does thebody. (劳动强身体,艰难励意志。) Dry feet , warm head , bring safe to bed. (脚干头暖,睡觉平安。) After lunch , rest ; after supper , walk. (午饭后要休息,晚饭后要散步。) 这几条谚语告诫人们要多运动, 锻炼,要学会自我保健,以强身健体。 Good health is above wealth. (健康金不换。) Happiness lies , first of all , in health. (幸福首先在于健康。) Health is jewel . (健康是钻石。) In sickness health is known. (患病方知健康好。) 这几条谚语告诫人们要珍惜健康,方能过上高质量的生活,才能享受幸福快乐。有些英语谚语,强调人的精神、心理、环境对身体的重要性。 Laugh and grow fat . (笑口常开,心宽体胖。) Care killed the cat . (忧能伤人。) A light heart lives long. (心胸坦荡寿命长。) Cheerfulness is health ; its opposite , melancholy isdisease. (欢乐益健康,忧郁致病痛。) 欢笑、坦荡的心胸都有利于健康,相反,忧虑、抑郁则对身心有害。当人类的原始积累达到一定程度,随着物质的丰富,人口的增多,交流的频繁,进行物质交换,互通有无,已成为必然,不可或缺。最早的交换应是以物易物,后来慢慢发展到使用钱币。由于金钱的重要价值、作用及其稀缺特点,人们对金钱有着强烈的占有欲望,并产生了独特的感受和认识。在英语谚语中,关于金钱的很多,正是人们深刻的金钱观的反映。Money makes the mare go. (有钱能使鬼推磨。) Money governs the world. (金钱统治世界。) Money is the key that opens all doors. (钱是打开所有门的钥匙。) 这些谚语反映的是拜金主义的金钱观。 Gold will not buy everything. (金钱并非万能。) Money is the root of all evil . (金钱乃万恶之源。) Riches do not always bring happiness. (金钱不总能带来幸福。) The love of money and the love of learning rarelymeet . (爱财不好学,好学不爱财。) 这几条谚语反映了对待金钱的不同的价值观,揭示了人们对客观事物的不同认识和理解。源自 民间口语的“俗谚”,以世态人情为材料,以经验知识为依据,是人民大众生活和生产的缩影,也是他们经验的积累和总结,揭示了他们对客观世界的认识和感悟,也表露了他们的心理诉求和祈望。二、 文化典籍流传于 民间口语中的谚语,伴随着文字的产生,开始出现在各种文学作品和 文化典籍中。英语谚语有一部分来自书面文献,主要出自希腊罗马神话、寓言故事、莎士比亚戏剧以及一些名家作品中。这些源自 文化典籍的
