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。

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。
