10个英文成语详解
10个英文成语详解10个英文成语详解所谓的精选就是字字珠玑, 没有烂竽充数的意思. 虽然英语的成语何其多, 没有几万也有几千, 小笨霖不求一网打尽, 但求每个列举出来的成语都是真正有用而且非常好用的成语.例如像是, "说曹操曹操就到"这句中文里耳能详的成语, 你知道英文版要怎么说吗? 答案就在下面喔!1. Speak of the devil.说曹操曹操就到.有些中文的成语用直接用英文翻出来老美还可以接受, 但是"说曹操, 曹操就到" 这句话要翻可就没有那么容易了.而何况你还要先解释曹操是谁, 那难度又更高了.以前我不会 Speak of the devil 时, 我都是说, That's a coincidence. (那真是一个巧合.) 但是大家现在学会了这句之后, 又更加好用了.下次当你们谈到某人, 某人就正好出现时, 你就可以说Speak of the devil. 或是 Talk of the devil.2. That's the best thing since sliced bread.那是有史以来最好的事情.像这句话要避免说成, the best thing in the history, 听来就不那么道地.老美他们都是用 the best thing since sliced bread 来表示有史以来最好的事情. 这句话的典故是这样的, 在 1928 年以前, 在美国所贩卖的面包都是整条没有切过的.所以面包买回家后还要自己切. 后来有一个密西根人Otto Rohwedder 发明了切面包的机器, 美国人一时之间觉得这种机器实在是太神奇了, 所以往后要是有什么很棒的事情发生, 他们就会说那是自从切面包的机器发明以来最好的事情. That's the best thing since slice bread. 这句话我常听到, 例如有一次网路银行Net Bank 的广告就说, Net Bank is the best thing since sliced bread.或许你会跟我一样觉得实在很可笑, 因为美国历史上重要的发明何其多. 这个切面包机可能连前一百名都排不进去, 为何把它的发明说成是最棒的事呢? 这个问题也许就要留给老美了. 不过如果你要展现一下自己的创意和幽默感, 建议你可以'故意'把这句话说成, That's the bestthing since the invention of space shuttle. (自从太空梭发明以来最棒的事.)3. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.When you are at Rome, do as they do at Rome.入境随俗.在美国有一群特殊的美国人, 他们坚持用传统的方式生活, 自己耕种, 驾马车, 不用电, 不能拍照. 这群人就是 Amish. 也因为这样, 很多他们居住的地方现在却成了观光胜地.听来很讽刺, 不是吗? 话说上次我去某个个 Amish 的市集买东西时, 看到很多的 Amish. 我好奇之下就问其中一个作 Amish 打扮的人说, Are you Amish? 结果你猜他怎么说? 他说, When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 天啊! 原来是个冒牌货! 所以大家下次不要再被骗了.从字面上的意思来看, When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 就是说当你在罗马的时候, 要表现的跟罗马人一样, 所以就有入境随俗的意思在内.另外关于罗马还有一些很常听到的成语可以顺便记一下, Rome was not built in a day. (罗马不是一天造成的.) All roads lead to Rome. (条条大路通罗马.)4. The lesser of the two evils.二颗烂苹果中比较不烂的.记得我刚来美国时我都会把这句话照中文的字面意义下去直接翻译, 说成, The better one of two rotten apples. 当然老美也是听得懂.直到有一次我班上的同学纠正我说, 这句话应该是The lesser of the two evils. 意谓著二恶相权取其轻. 说得再口语一点, 就是二颗烂苹果中比较不烂的意思吧!5. This is like chickens and eggs.这就像是倒底是先有鸡还是先有蛋的的道理.记得我在小学的时候我就会问, 鸡生蛋, 蛋生鸡, 那到底是先有鸡还是先有蛋.这个问题到我现在念到博士班了还是不会.所以看来这二十年是不是有点浪费了? 回到主题, 任何不知道时间先后的事情我们都可以用 chicken and eggs 来形容. 例如, 到底是有钱才去从政还是从政之后才有钱? This is like chickens and eggs.6. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.情人眼里出西施.这句话大家都不陌生吧! 要是看到某个美男和某个丑女走在一起, 你就可以深表婉惜地说, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." 总之这是各人喜好, 我们也不便多说什么. 另外有一句成语, 一朵鲜花插在牛粪上, 我曾试著用 A flower in the bullshit 来诠释, 可惜似乎老美不太懂我在说些什么. 各位有什么更好的建议吗? 至于速配的'话, 可以试试, Every Jack has its Jill. (破锅自有烂盖配.) 或是 Let beggars match with beggars. (乞丐配乞丐)7. Practice makes perfect.熟能生巧.不但是音乐家也好, 运动员也好, 在他们的成长过程中, 总是需要不断的练习才能有完美的演出. 这就造就了一句成语, Practice makes perfect. 鼓励别人要不断地去尝试错误.类似的成语例如 When at first you don't succeed, try try again. (如果一开始不成功的话, 要不断地尝试下次, 注意这里的 try try again 不是我多打了一个 try 而是老美真的是这样说的.),8. There is no such a thing as free lunch.天下没有白吃的午餐.这句成语太出名了, 似乎没有人不知道.这也是经济学的理论基础吧! 天底下没有那么好的事情可以不劳而获. 总之, 当我们听到一件事情好到不可思议时, 例如一元手机, 免费上网, 我们就可以对别人说, There is no such a thing as free lunch.但是有规则就有例外, 个人觉得美国的教会或是救世军(Salvation Army) 之类的慈善组织就蛮喜欢请大家吃免费的午餐.例如他们有时会办一些免费的 BBQ, 随到随吃, 吃到饱为止, 完全打破了天下没有白吃的午餐这个规则.9. If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit.如果你无法用你的才能无法说服别人, 就用你的废话迷惑别人吧!这也许是个不争的事实, 老美在数理的基础上也许不如我们东方人, 但他们在数据收集, 上台报告方面却硬是比我们强上一大截, 这或许也是外国人无法在美国站上主流社会的原因之一吧! 所以各位要记得, baffle others with your bullshit. 把三分的结果加上七分的 bullshit. 就能拿到一个十分的成绩. 或许很讽刺, 但现实生活不也是如此吗?还有一些类似摆烂的成语, 蛮有趣的, 例如, If everything else fails, manipulate the data. (如果所有的方法都失败了, 就试著去改变量据吧!) 或是 If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that suggests you tried. (如果你不成功, 就把建议你这么作的所有证据都给毁了.)10. God is shining on you.你真是幸运.God is shining on you 就是指一个人非常幸运, 也就等于 You are very lucky 的意思. 例如大家修理一台机器都修不好, 结果你一来一下子就把问题给找出来, 别人就会对你说 God is shining on you.。
英语成语及解释
1. A watched pot never boils.[字面意思] 眼睛盯着看的壶永远不会开。
[引申义] 事情在进行中，不到时候就不会有结果，要水到渠成才行。
心急锅不开。
你着急？着急也没用！用眼睛盯着它看也无济于事，事情不会因为你着急就会有较快的进展。
2. Bad news travels fast.[字面意思] 坏消息传得快。
[引申义] 好事不出门，坏事传千里。
尤其在现在这个信息爆炸的年代，一件事情刚刚发生几分钟，很可能就已经成为千里之外的人们议论的话题了。
3. Easy come, easy go.[字面意思] 来的容易，去的快。
[引申义] 这句话适合讲给那些把什么事都看得容易的人。
尤其是对那种认为挣钱容易，不把钱当钱，对任何事情都不担心的人最适合。
应该提醒这种人"钱不是长在树上的"。
钱不是像树上的果实一样，今年吃光了明年还会自动长出来。
有些人自己不挣钱，不知道挣钱的艰辛。
4. Good wine needs no bush.[字面意思] 好酒不需要做广告。
[引申义] 好的产品不需要做更多的广告。
酒好不怕巷子深，或许这话在全球化经济竞争的年代不太适合。
不过在现代社会，广告可以让好的商品更快地被大家熟知，使市场营销的一个重要手段5.I am all ears.[字面意思] 我浑身上下都是耳朵。
[引申义] 我在洗耳恭听。
我很感兴趣，我在集中精力，全神贯注地等你往下说。
比如：女朋友说"我今天下午去参加面试了。
你想知道结果吗？"女朋友没往下说，就等男朋友开口，希望他说："Tell me! Tell me! I’m all ears!"6.It slipped my mind.[字面意思] 从大脑里溜走了。
[引申义] 忘记了，没记住。
打击最熟悉的I forget it.和I can’t remember it. 都是说我忘记了，但是这个表达式口语里的常用成语，是不是更形象？举个例子：I meant to tell you your girl friend had called, but it slipped my mind.意思就是：我本想告诉你，你的女朋友来电话了，但是我把这事给忘记了。
成语英译方法
成语英译方法今日，为大家介绍成语英译的方法。
一、敏捷翻译1)比方形象不能被译文读者所接受，意译为佳。
例4、沉鱼落雁直译：something makes the fish dive down and geese fall.意译：dazzling beauty/ striking beauty解析：“沉鱼落雁”是极富东方特色的一种表述，中国读者当然非常清晰这里的“something”是指什么，但是国外读者唯恐难以知晓，甚至觉得可能是“雷电”或“飓风”等自然灾难让动物死亡。
既然“沉鱼落雁”的字面意义误导英语读者，便大可采纳应用意译的方式。
例5、灯红酒绿直译：with red lights and green wine意译：dissipated and luxurious开门见山直译：to open the door and see the mountain意译：to come straight to the point解析：以上两个例子，直译都会造成误会，采纳应用意译为佳。
在与其他文化接触时，人们很难摆脱自身的文化传统和思维方式，往往根据自己习惯的思维模式来解读，这就产生了难以避开的文化误会。
这就需要在翻译中留意换位思索。
2)字面上含有中国古代人名、地名，或出自寓言或历史典故的成语，最好绕开其文化背景，翻译其内涵意义。
若加上解释性文字，则失去了成语短小精炼的特点。
例6、毛遂自荐to volunteer one's service东施效颦crude imitation with ludicrous effect悬梁刺股to be extremely hard-working in one's study四周楚歌to be besieged on all sides解析：“毛遂自荐”指的是赵国平原君的门客毛遂自动请缨的故事，假如翻译时将毛遂的人名加上，不免让英文读者一头雾水。
而这成语本身就是一个典故，若是后缀英文解释又显得过于累赘。
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。
