成语的英语翻译Idioms are an essential part of any language as they convey meaning that often cannot be translated directly word for word. Translating idioms from Chinese to English can be a challenge, as the cultural context and nuances may differ. Let us explore the translation of some common Chinese idioms into English.1. 画蛇添足(huà shé tiān zú) - Drawing Legs on a SnakeThis idiom means to ruin something by trying to improve it unnecessarily. In English, a similar idiom is "gilding the lily" or "carrying coals to Newcastle."2. 狐假虎威(hú jiǎ hǔ wēi) - A Fox Borrowing the Tiger's Might This idiom describes someone using the power or authority of another to intimidate others. In English, a similar expression is "wolves in sheep's clothing."3. 一箭双雕(yī jiàn shuāng diāo) - Kill Two Birds with One Stone This idiom means to accomplish two things at once. The English translation perfectly matches the Chinese: "kill two birds with one stone."4. 对牛弹琴 (duì niú tán qín) - Playing the Harp to a CowThis idiom refers to explaining something to someone who is incapable of understanding or appreciating it. In English, a similar phrase is "casting pearls before swine."5. 画龙点睛(huà lóng diǎn jīng) - Adding the Finishing Touches This idiom means adding a crucial detail that completes orenhances something. In English, a similar phrase is "putting the cherry on top."6. 杀鸡取卵(shā jī qǔ luǎn) - Killing the Chicken to Get the Eggs This idiom describes short-sighted actions that sacrifice long-term gains for immediate benefits. In English, a similar phrase is "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs."7. 大海捞针(dà hǎi lāo zhēn) - Finding a Needle in a HaystackThis idiom means searching for something that is challenging or nearly impossible to find. The English translation is the same: "finding a needle in a haystack."8. 跳梁小丑(tiào liáng xiǎo chǒu) - Jumping ClownThis idiom refers to someone who tries to attract attention and acts foolishly for others' amusement. In English, a similar phrase is "a court jester."9. 守株待兔(shǒu zhū dài tù) - Waiting by a Stump for a HareThis idiom describes waiting passively for opportunities without taking any action. In English, a similar phrase is "waiting for the fish to jump into your net."10. 脱颖而出 (t uō yǐng ér chū) - Stand Out from the CrowdThis idiom means to excel and differentiate oneself from others. In English, a similar phrase is "rise above the rest."These are just a few examples of how Chinese idioms can be translated into English. It is important to note that idioms vary across cultures and languages, so sometimes a direct translation isnot possible. Translating idioms requires a deep understanding of both languages and their respective cultures.。

不动声色
拼音：
bùdòngshēngsè
解释：
声：言谈；色：脸色。
在紧急情况下，说话、神态仍跟平时一样没有变化。
形容非常镇静。
出处：
宋·欧阳修《相州昼锦堂记》：“垂绅正笏，不动声色，而措天下于泰山之安。
”
翻译：
不动声色指的是说话、神态都保持镇定，没有变化。
保持可以用keep，maintain等表示，镇定可以是composure，组合起来就是keep/maintainone’scomposure
要不动声色，不要让对方看到任何你生气或是不安的迹象。
Don'tshowanysignsofangerorupset.Youmustkeepyourcomposure.
还有一个词组也表示不动声色：notturnahair。
notturnahair:tonotshowanyemotionwhenyouaretoldsomethingb adorwhensomethingbadhappens
连一根头发丝都没有动，是不是十分镇定呢？
我还期待着他听到这笔开销时大惊失色，不料他却不动声色。
Iwasexpectinghimtobehorrifiedwhenheheardthecostbuthedidn'tt urnahair.
不负众望
拼音：
bùfùzhòngwàng
解释：
负：辜负；众：众人；望：期望。
不辜负大家的.期望。
出处：《诗经·大雅·下武》：“永言配命，成王之孚。
”（这句话是说周成王顺应天命，令众人信服。
）
翻译：
liveuptoone’sexpectation
liveupto表示“不辜负”，不辜负期望（expectation）也就等于不负众望。
我努力活出自己的样子，不辜负众望。
Itriedtoliveuptomyideallifeandpeople’sexpectation.
如果是辜负了众望，即不孚众望呢？又该如何翻译？
只要在liveupto前面加上fail就可以了。
fail是动词，意思是失败，failtodosomething的意思是“未能做成某事”。
因此，不孚众望可以翻译成：
failtoliveuptoone’sexpectation.。
