中英直译难以理解的成语
中英直译难以理解的成语有很多，以下是一些例子：
“打落水狗”（beat a drowning dog）：直译为“打落水狗”，意思是继续攻击已经失败的对手，使其无法翻身。
这个成语在英语中可能难以理解，因为英语中没有类似的表达方式。
“杀鸡给猴看”（kill the cock to warn the monkey）：直译为“杀鸡给猴看”，意思是惩罚一个人以警告其他人。
这个成语在英语中可能难以理解，因为英语中没有类似的表达方式。

这个成语在英语中可能难以理解，因为英语中没有类似的表达方式。
“千刀万剐”（thousand cuts and myriad pieces）：直译为“千刀万剐”，意思是遭受极端的痛苦或折磨。
这个成语在英语中可能难以理解，因为英语中没有类似的表达方式。
总之，由于中英两种语言的差异和文化背景的不同，很多中文成语在英语中没有对应的表达方式，因此直译可能会造成理解上的困难。
在进行翻译时，需要考虑到目标语言的文化背景和表达习惯，采用适当的翻译方法和技巧，以确保译文准确、流畅、易于理解。

汉英“尾”的隐喻认知对比研究
汉英“尾”的隐喻认知对比研究作者：胡娟李翩来源：《青年文学家》2010年第16期摘要：尾是动物身体上一个重要部位，本文从隐喻认知的角度对“尾”，的隐喻方式进行对比分析，也证明了“尾”与其他人体部位词语的隐喻认知模式具有一致性。
关键词：“尾”，隐喻，认知[中图分类号]：H021[文献标识码]：A[文章编号]：1002-2139(2010)-16-0148-02隐喻分析是指对语言中的某一现象运用一系列的认知语言学的理论进行分析。
隐喻是一种认知模式，从始源域映射到目标域，并形成一个基本手段，组织和表达的概念认识世界。
在认识世界时，人类几乎将身体的各个部位以各种方式投射到客观物质世界中的各种事物中。
在认识世界过程中，古代人将身体部位投射到世界中的客观事物，也就是说，他们将身体部位作为始源域，将其投射到不熟悉的、抽象的目标域，从而更好的认识不熟悉的事物。
近些年来，出现了人体部位的隐喻词语的研究论文，这些都是从人类的身体部位的词语来进行隐喻研究，那么隐喻认知能力是否同样也适用于动物的身体部位——“尾”呢?“尾”有什么隐喻意义吗?是否跟人体部位词语的隐喻方式相似呢?本文中的汉英语料分别来自于《现代汉语词典》(第五版)、《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》(第六版)以及CCL语料库和JustTheWord网络语料库。
1语义分析《说文》，“尾，微也”。
本义，鸟兽虫鱼等身体末端突出的部分。
如虎头蛇尾，狗尾续貂等。
英语中相同，the tailof a dog等。
首先，“尾”位于动物身体的最后端，将“尾”这一概念扩展到无生命的事物，指这些事物的后端和末端，如船尾、路尾、the tail of a comet等。
其次，“尾”指主要部分以外的部分，如尾数、尾欠、thetail Of hurricane。
另外，还表示跟踪、尾随。
如，尾犯、尾骑、尾击等，英语中有，The police have put a tail On him。
2尾的隐喻认知分析身体部位词“尾”被映射到认知模式TAIL HAS A SOLIDSTATE中，其短语和表达方式就会有其特点和性质，以下我们将要分析这些被概念化为可移动的物体的语料。

胁肩谄笑的意思_胁肩谄笑的成语解释
胁肩谄笑成语解释耸起双肩；做出谄媚的笑容。
形容巴结奉承别人的丑态。
胁肩：耸肩；形容恭敬的样子。
成语出处先秦孟轲《孟子滕文公下》：“胁肩谄笑，病于夏畦。
”成语繁体脅肩諂笑成语简拼XJCX成语注音ㄒ一ㄝˊㄐ一ㄢㄔㄢˇㄒ一ㄠˋ常用程度常用成语成语字数四字成语感情色彩贬义成语成语用法胁肩谄笑连动式；作谓语、定语；含贬义。

（明凌濛初《初刻拍案惊奇》卷二十二）英语翻译cringe and smile obsequiously <bow and scrape>成语故事公孙丑一天问孟子，古代一些士子并不主动去谒见诸侯，是什么道理。
孟子回答道：古代的人，如果自己不是诸侯的臣子，就不去谒见。
历史上曾发生过这样两件事：魏文侯去看段干木，段干木却跳墙躲起来了；鲁穆公去看泄柳，泄柳紧关大门坚决不见。
他们都做得过分了，要是逼迫要见，还是可以相见的。
阳货想让孔子来见他，又担心这样做失礼。
但当时有这样的习俗：大夫对士子有赏赐，如果此人不在家，不得亲自拜谢，事后必须亲自登门答谢大夫。
因此，阳货便打听那天孔子外出不在家时，给他送去一个火腿。
而孔子，对阳货并无好感，根本不想见他。
于是他也采取阳货的办法，打听阳货外出不在家时，到阳货家回谢。
当时，如若阳货不搞小动作，先去看孔子，孔子岂能不见他？曾子说过这样的话：“胁肩谄笑，简直比夏天在菜园种菜还感到累和难受。
”子路也曾说道：“观点不同的人在一起谈话，脸上还要显露出羞愧的神色，我是难以理解的。
”。

英语成语翻译与成语故事
英语成语翻译与成语故事英语中的成语和汉语中的一样，也是十分丰富的，其中不少都有典故。
接下来，小编给大家准备了英语成语翻译与成语故事,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。
英语成语翻译与成语故事1. give a lick and a promise 敷衍搪塞这条成语直译为“先舔一下再做承诺”。
它出自一则英国民间传说。
至少两个世纪以前有一只猫，它的脸常常脏得很，每当别的猫要它洗脸时它就用舌头很快舔一下，然后保证说下次一定弄干净，但实际只是敷衍了事。
后来这个说法就被用来表示“工作马虎、敷衍搪塞”。
例如：You didn’t wash your hands; you just gave them a lick anda promise. (你根本没洗手，只不过敷衍了事。
)2. bury the hatchet1 偃旗息鼓字面意思是“埋下斧子”。
北美殖民时期，英国殖民者残忍地屠杀印地安人，其歼灭方式惨无人道。
有的被放在柴堆上活活烧死，有的剥下死难者的头皮，谁剥的多，谁的功劳最大。
他们有时为了欺骗和麻痹印地安人，也会和某个部落讲和。
在和谈仪式上，印地安人会把斧头埋在地下表示休战和解，因为对于印地安人来说，斧头是他们主要的武器，这种方式比任何条款都更有意义和约束力。
现在人们就用bury the hatchet来表示消弭干戈，休战和好。
They had been enemies for ages, but after a fight they buried the hachet. (他们敌对多年，但一场搏斗后却和解了。
)3. by the cut of one's jib 从外表上看这一成语出自十七世纪前后航海事业高速发展的时代。
当时海上航行的大多为帆船上常用一个三角形小帆(jib)挂在前桅作为标志。
由于各国对三角帆的裁剪方式(cut)不同，船长可依此判定船的国别。
然而当时海盗猖獗，他们往往打着某过活的旗号进行抢劫，上当受骗的也大有人在。
