汉语成语英语翻译
如何翻译汉语成语
汉语成语的翻译既要达意，又要让人看得懂。
相当一部分成语有可对应的英语单词，有些成语可以用英语中的固定短语来翻译，还有一些必须用句子来翻译。
当然有些成语必须意译。
1、用英语单词翻译的成语：三心二意／心不在焉：absent-minded大相径庭/迥然不同：be totally different不折不扣：extremely, completely粗心大意：careless / carelessness不计其数：countless引人入胜：attractive不顾一切: desperately三令五申repeated warnings/ be warned repeatedly心烦意乱(be) upset2、用短语来翻译的成语：焕然一新：take on a new look置之不理：take no notice of固执己见：stick to one’s own opinion忍无可忍：can no longer put up with蹑手蹑脚：on tiptoe不得而知：remain unknown因人而异：depend on the individual / vary from person to person一箭之遥：within a stone’s throw别无选择：have no choice but to do情不自禁：can’t help doing迫不得已：can do nothing but do迫不及待：can hardly wait to do化险为夷：turn danger into safety安然无恙：safe and sound全心全意／一心一意：heart and soul / whole-heartedly奋不顾身：have no thought for one’s own safety视而不见：turn a blind eye to充耳不闻：turn a deaf ear to三言两语：in a few words鼎力相助：do whatever one can to help刮目相看：look at sb. with new eyes百听不厌：be worth listening to a hundred times欣喜若狂：be wild with joy不辞而别：leave without saying goodbye兴趣相投：share the same hobby宁死不屈：would rather die than surrender反之亦然：vice versa不知所措：be at a loss坚守岗位：keep to one’s post坚持不懈：persevere in doing半途而废：give up halfway一事无成：achieve nothing梦想成真：o ne’s dream come true / realize (achieve) one’s dream 一无所有：have nothing一无所获：gain nothing一鸣惊人：surprise the world with one’s first success不辞辛苦：take trouble / take pains to do…跋山涉水：travel over mountains and waters不遗余力：spare no efforts不能自已：can’t con trol oneself一见钟情：fall in love with…at first sight受益匪浅：benefit a lot from爱莫能助：be powerless to help鞭长莫及：too far away to reach悠着点：take it easy众口难调It is hard to please all.不负众望live up to the expectation of people3、中英文基本对应的成语：熟能生巧：Practice makes perfect.勤能补拙：Diligence can make up for the lack of intelligence.入乡随俗：When in Rome, do as the Romans do.趁热打铁：Strike while the iron is hot.骄兵必败：Pride goes before a fall.4、须要用句子（或从句）来翻译的成语：所见所闻：what someone has seen and heard言行一致：What one does agrees with what he says.众所周知：as is known to all若无其事：pretend as if nothing unusual had happened开卷有益：Reading does you good.无济于事：It’s no use doing…良药苦口, 忠言逆耳：As good medicine tastes bitter, so good advice sounds unpleasant.事与愿违：Things turned out to be against one’s will. contrary to one’s expectation各抒己见：Everyone expresses his own opinion. express freely爱不释手：love something so much that sb. doesn’t want to put it away1、汉语和英语中有些俗语很接近。
汉译英 成语的翻译
Strike while the iron is hot. 趁热打铁。 Walls have ears. 隔墙有耳。 Constant dropping wears the stone. 水滴石穿。 Actions speak louder than words.
事实胜于雄辩。
成语翻译要注意的事项
汉语成语的语言特色，即形象鲜明、常用典故、
音韵和谐，翻译时应尽可能地保留这些特色。 然而由于汉英两种语言和文化的巨大差异，汉 语成语的这些特色很难全部在译文中得以再现， 此时译者必须有所舍弃，采取适当的翻译策略 以确保主要信息的传递。 现代翻译学认为，译文与原文在意义上应动态 对应，不要形式对等。因此，从原文的深层意 义出发，汉语句子当中的四字词组在译成英语 时都有可能与英语句中的单词、短语、习语甚 至整句相对应。
Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched. 不可过早乐观。 Every cloud has a silver lining. 天下没有绝对的坏事。 Among so many well-dressed and cultured people, the country girl felt like a fish out of water. 同这么多穿着体面而又有教养的人在一起，这位乡下 姑娘感到很不自在。 She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth; she thinks she can do what she likes. 她生长在富贵之家，认为凡事都可随心所欲。
TRANSLATION APPRECIATION
1.It is too late to grieve when the chance is past. 坐失良机，后悔已迟。 2.It’s never too late to learn. 活到老，学到老。 3.Joy at its height engenders sorrow. 乐极生悲。 4.Justice has long arms.

(3)汉语成语与英语有相似的形象,但文化信息和内 涵不同。
由于文化习俗的差异,翻译时译者要注意成语中的 动物词汇,其意义是不同的。例如,在中国,人们往 往认为狗是令人厌恶的,因此,大多数与狗有关的成 语包含贬义。但在西方国家,狗被认为是人类的好 朋友,因此一些相关的成语也就带有褒义。翻译这 类成语时译者就要充分考虑文化的差异。比如:

二、 将四字词组译成短语，如介词短语、
副词短语、不定式短语
这种方法往往是套用英语中最简单的词
组或句型。
某位领导的讲话要求外交人员“立场坚
定、目光远大、头脑敏捷、业务熟练、 才华出众、风格高尚”， “A Chinese diplomat should be firm in stand, broad in vision, swift in wit, qualified in profession, outstanding in talent, noble in character.”
三、套用英语中意思相同及功能对等 的习语
四字词组中有很大一部分是固定词组，即成语。成语
往往带有浓厚的民族色彩和地方色彩。翻译时除了要 忠实地表达原文意义之外，还要尽可能保持原文成语 的形象比喻，丰富联想，修辞效果以及其民族、地方 特点等。有的成语和英语中的习语在内容和形式上都 相符合，双方不但有相同的意义和修辞色彩，并且有 相同或大体相同的形象比喻。汉译英时，如果遇到这 种情况，不妨直截了当地套用英语同义习语。这样的 译文可能会增色不少，基本能实现四字词组的美学价 值转移。
谚语俗语

翻译技巧英语笔译技法——正反译法
【翻译技巧】英语笔译技法——正反译法由于国家、历史、地理、社会文化背景和生活习性的不同，汉英两种语言在表达正说和反说时有很大差异，尤其英语在否定意义的表达上更为复杂，有时形式否定而实质肯定，或形式肯定而实质否定。
在两种语言互译时，原文中正说的句子可能不得不处理成反说，或是用反说表达更为合适。
反之亦然。
翻译中，这种把正说处理成反说、把反说处理成正说的译法，就称为正反译法。
正反译法是翻译技巧中的一个重要方法，属于引申和修辞范围。
笼统的说，英语句子中含有“never”、“no”、“not”、“un-”、“im-”、“in-”、“ir-”、“-less”等否定词以及否定前缀或后缀的单词，以及汉语句子中含有“不”、“没”、“无”、“未”、“甭”、“别”、“休”、“莫”、“非”、“勿”、“毋”等否定词的即为反说，不含有这些否定词的即为正说。
但实际操作时，正说和反说的界限又变得极为模糊，例如“correct”可以翻译成“正确”（正说），也可以翻译成“没有毛病”（反说）。
因此，到底译文要采用正说还是反说，就完全要看译文语言的惯用表达和上下文的语气语态了。
在正反译法中，英译汉正转反（正说反译法）和汉译英反转正（反说正译法）是最为重要的两种正反译法。
英译汉正转反英语中有些否定概念是通过含有否定意义或近似否定意义的词来表达的，虽然形式是肯定的，但这类词大多是某些肯定词所引申或变化出来的反义词，或经过长期历史演变而引申出其他否定词义，即所谓的“含蓄否定词”或“暗指否定词”，这类词在译成汉语时，需要变成汉语的否定词组，必要时还需要作词类转换。
1、名词—含蓄否定名词主要有：shortness / shortage（不够；不足）、lack（缺乏；没有）、absence （不在）、failure（未能；不成功）、defiance（不顾；无视）、denial（否认；否定）、exclusion （排除）、freedom（不；免除）、refusal（不愿；不允许）、loss（失去）等。

总的说来，汉英两种语言中单词的对等程度要高一 些，一方面是单词的文化背景比较简单，另一方面 是单词本身的语义结构比较简单。当然， 两种语言 中存在着差异的"对等"单词也有不少，例如:从语义 上来讲，"杯子"并不完全对等于"cup"，而是对等于 "cup + mug + glass +…"，"桌子" 的对等表达是 "table + desk",从感情色彩上来讲，"宣传"并不完 全对等于"propaganda","农民"并不完全对等于 "peasant"，"地主"也并不完全对等于“Landlord"。

成语的对等是从3个方面体现出来的，一个是比喻 意义，一个是比喻形式，再一个是感情色彩。三者 中比喻意义是最重要的，当三者发生矛盾时，我们 得优先保留比喻意义。感情色彩的对等同比喻意义 的对等几乎同样重要。如果感情色彩不对等，这条 成语就肯定不能用。至于比喻形式，能对等则应尽 量对等，实在对等不了，就应当机立断，大胆放弃。
