英汉谚语的文化差异及翻译

英汉谚语的文化差异及翻译 谚语在字典中的定义是短小精练的民间智慧警句,一般形式严谨,经常包括鲜明的形象和使人难忘的韵律。谚语多风趣幽默,饱含哲理,因而经得起时间的考验,广为流传。 英汉两种语言历史悠久,包含着大量的谚语,由于地理、历史、宗教信仰、生活习俗等方面的差异,英汉谚语承载着不同的民族文化特色和文化信息,它们与文化传统紧密相连,不可分割。 1. 与基督教有关的谚语 宗教是谚语的重要来源之一。汉语的谚语“平时不烧香,临时抱佛脚”明显与曾在中国广泛流传的佛教有关。包括英语在内的西方国家的主要宗教是基督教。许多英语谚语和基督教有着这样那样的关系是十分自然的。 例: Man proposes, God disposes. 谋事在人,成事在天。 God help those who help themselves. 自助者天助之。 God sends meat and the devil sends cooks. 上帝赐给食物,魔鬼派来厨师。 Each cross hath its own inscription. 每个十字架都有自己的铭文。

以上谚语明显与基督教有关,因为谚语里出现的“上帝”或“十字架”都是基督教的象征。非常有意思的一点是英语中的God经常与汉语中的“天”相对应。基督教徒崇拜上帝,英语中God save the Queen是家喻户晓的句子。当一个说英语的人突然从紧张、焦急、或压力下解脱出来的时候,会脱口而出:Thank God! 中国人崇拜“天”。中国古代的皇帝是“天子”,运气好的人是“天之骄子”。只要好心人得到报答而恶人受到惩罚,我们就会说“苍天有眼”英国人和中国人都要有寻求帮助的对象。只是说英语的人找的是上帝,而中国人找的是“天”而已。 2. 出自《圣经》和英语文学巨著里的谚语 《圣经》是最广为阅读的书之一,也是包括英语国家在内的西方世界最有影响力的宗教作品。它也被认为是一部很好的文学作品。其中的警句、格言已经成为谚语的一个重要组成部分。 例: Never cast your pearls before swine. 不可明珠暗投(不可对牛弹琴)。 Judge not according to appearance. 不可根据外表做出判断(勿以貌取人)。 Great men are not always wise. 伟人并非事事聪明。 文学作品,作为社会生活的一面镜子,是谚语的又一来源。许多汉语谚语源于中国经典文学作品,例如,“梁园虽好,不是久恋之家”源于《水浒传》;“明

中英文对照谚语

中英文相对应的谚语 浑水摸鱼 成语出处: 语源和意源不详.公元前6世纪希腊寓言家伊索的《伊索寓言渔夫》 中讲的是混水摸鱼的故事:一位渔夫在河里捕鱼时,先拦河张网,然后用绳子拴上石块,面向鱼网击打水底,鱼吓得到处乱游,有些撞进网里。当地有人见渔夫这样做,责怪他把水搅浑了,使人不能喝到清水。渔夫说:“若不是把水搅浑,我就捕不到鱼,捕不到鱼,我就得饿死。” 有人把它作为“浑水摸鱼”的来源。我们认为寓言译介到中国来的时间与《三十六 计》成书时间的先后关系有待进一步考证。 Teach fish to swim. Showing Off One's Proficiency with the Axe Before Lu Ban the Master Carpenter 班门弄斧典故(中英对照) 古代有一个建筑和雕刻技术非常高超的人,名叫鲁班,木匠行里尊称他为祖师。传说他曾用木头制作了一只五彩斑斓的凤凰,能够在空中飞翔三天不掉下来。在鲁班门前摆弄斧子,当然显得有些自不量力了。 Lu Ban was supposed to be a consummate carpenter in ancient times. It is said that he once carved a wooden phoenix that was so lifelike that it actually flew in the sky for three days. Thus it was considered the height of folly to show off one's skill with an axe in front of Lu Ban. “班门弄斧”这个成语,用来比喻在行家面前显示本领。 This idiom excoriates those who show off their slight accomplishments in front of experts. Don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs. 休要班门弄斧。 A new broom sweeps clean. 意思:比喻刚出任新职时,总要摆出架势好好做几件事,一显威风与才干。三国的诸葛亮西元207年,在刘备三顾茅庐后,他答应出来辅佐一连三次用火攻,烧了博望坡、新野再与孙权联合火攻曹操于赤壁,这就叫新官上任三把火了。引申出来的意思是意思是说:新官员上任时,常常做出几件事以表现自己的才干和革除时敝的决心,过后也就一切如旧。Business is business. 成语典故: 公事按公事的原则办,不讲私人情面。成语出处: 清李宝嘉《官场现形记》第三十三回:“藩台见人家不来打点,他便有心公事公办,先从余荩臣下手。” Out of office, out of danger. 成语典故: 不做官了,感到一身轻松。封建官僚官以后常用这句话来自我安慰。现也泛指卸去责任后一时感到轻松。 The style is the man. 成语典故: 指文章的风格同作者的性格特点相似。成语出处: 宋苏轼《答张文潜书》:“子由之文实胜仆,而世俗不知,乃以为不如;其为人深不愿人知之,其文如其为人。” Pride goes before a fall. 成语典故: 骄傲的军队必定打败仗。
