英语词汇学之明喻成语
（四）翻译技巧
• • • • • • 1. 采用汉语中相对等成语 如： spread like wildfire （不胫而走） 2.直译 如： as gay as a lark （像云雀一样欢跃） 3.加上“非常”或“极其” as cool as a cucumber （极其镇静）
（三）语言特点
• 1. 与汉语具有相似性 • 如： as hot as fire • as red as blood • 2. 鲜明的名族性特点 如： as strong as a horse 因为中国利来使用牛犁地，而英国却用马犁 地。
• 3. 西方文化中所熟知 • 例如：As patient as Job • Job是《圣经》中的人物，他历经危难，扔 坚信上帝。 • 4. 比喻独到，富有诗意 • 如： as old as the hills 像山一样地古老（还有什么能比重峦叠 嶂的山脉更古老的呢？） • 5. 头韵法（alliteration） • As bold as brass • as hungry as a hunter • as clear as crystal Nhomakorabea体与喻义相反
• • • • • 如： (as)gentle as a dove (as)gentle as a lamb (as)gentle as a falcon 喻底都是gentle。
• dove和lamb不管在寓言、童话世界里,还是在圣经文本 里总是温和乖顺的,而falcon无论在动物世界里还是人文 著作里总是凶悍猛烈的,和“温顺”二字背道而驰,显然 gentle在此用作反义,是加了双引号的“温柔”,名为像猎 鹰一样“温柔”,实为像猎鹰一样凶猛。
