中国常用成语的英文译法

中国常用成语的英文译法

中国常用成语的英文译法1.水落石出有人照字直译为:As the water level sinks,the stones are exposed.这样说,恐怕老外还是听不懂。

他们的说法是:All secrets may eventually come to light. (所有祕密最后总会曝光。

)也可以说:Eventually,every secret will be disclosed.2.这山望到那山高有人译成:The apples on the other side of the wall are the sweetest.(意思是:墙那边的苹果最甜)当然,如要译成:If you stand on a mountain,you feel the distant mountain seems higher than yours.老外也勉强能接受。

而他们的最习惯说法是:The grass always looks greener on the other side.(另一边的草,看来总是绿些。

)3.烈火炼真金,患难见真情有人译成:Fire is the test of gold;adversity is the test of friendship.这句译文,虽然很好,老外也能了解,但是他们还有另外的说法:Liquor brings out a person's true color.(烈酒能显示一个人真正的特色)或者说:Wine reveals a person's true heart.虽然老外不用“烈火炼真金”的比喻,但有“路遥知马力”的说法:By a long road,we know a horse's strength;at times of difficulty,we discover a friend's true character.4.雷声大,雨点小有人译为:The thunder roars loudly,but little rain falls.或者说:All we hear is thunder,but no rain falls.虽然这样直译比较容易理解,但是老外的说法是这样的:Actions speak louder than words. (行动胜于言谈)或All we hear is words,but there is no action.(只动嘴不动手)或Actions and words should go hand in hand. (言行必须一致)另外,还有英语里还有这样的说法:An empty barrel makes biggest sound.(空洞的话说得太多了。

中国常用成语的英文译法

中国常用成语的英文译法

中国常用成语的英文译法1.水落石出有人照字直译为:As the water level sinks,the stones are exposed.这样说,恐怕老外还是听不懂。

他们的说法是:All secrets may eventually come to light. (所有祕密最后总会曝光。

)也可以说:Eventually,every secret will be disclosed.2.这山望到那山高有人译成:The apples on the other side of the wall are the sweetest.(意思是:墙那边的苹果最甜)当然,如要译成:If you stand on a mountain,you feel the distant mountain seems higher than yours.老外也勉强能接受。

而他们的最习惯说法是:The grass always looks greener on the other side.(另一边的草,看来总是绿些。

)3.烈火炼真金,患难见真情有人译成:Fire is the test of gold;adversity is the test of friendship.这句译文,虽然很好,老外也能了解,但是他们还有另外的说法:Liquor brings out a person's true color.(烈酒能显示一个人真正的特色)或者说:Wine reveals a person's true heart.虽然老外不用“烈火炼真金”的比喻,但有“路遥知马力”的说法:By a long road,we know a horse's strength;at times of difficulty,we discover a friend's true character.4.雷声大,雨点小有人译为:The thunder roars loudly,but little rain falls.或者说:All we hear is thunder,but no rain falls.虽然这样直译比较容易理解,但是老外的说法是这样的:Actions speak louder than words. (行动胜于言谈)或All we hear is words,but there is no action.(只动嘴不动手)或Actions and words should go hand in hand. (言行必须一致)另外,还有英语里还有这样的说法:An empty barrel makes biggest sound.(空洞的话说得太多了。
