英语成语和谚语的翻译
一、英语成语及谚语中某些常见误解与误译由于汉语与英语、东方人与西方人之间文化背景及思维方式的巨大差异,中国人在理解英语成语、谚语时极易产生偏差。
比如,有一个成语Claw me,and I’llclaw t hee.有人把它译成“以牙还牙”。
这样理解就错了。
应译成“你吹捧我,我吹捧你。
”错译的人认为,claw 一词意为“用爪子抓”,你既然要抓我,作为报复,我也就抓你,这不是顺理成章的“以牙还牙,以眼还眼”吗?其实,大谬不然。
Claw过去意为stroke;tickle(拍;呵痒),因而引申为“讨好,恭维”。
由此可见,切不可单就一个词似是而非的表面意义,进行想当然的推理或类比来理解成语。
另外,中国人学习英语成语往往容易犯的一个毛病就是把英语中的某些单词与汉语中概念相类似的内容进行同比,从而造成理解上的错误。
例如,把to pullone’s leg(取笑某人)误解为“拖某人后腿”。
把towake a sleeping wolf(自找麻烦),误解为“打草惊蛇”,把to keep the wolf from the door(使免于饥饿)误译为“御敌于门外”等等。
要知道,上述例子中,pull sb’s leg寓有“故意愚弄”之意。
To wake a sleeping wolf(吵醒一条睡着的狼),其后果不是把狼吓跑,而很有可能是这头狼扑过来咬你,故不应理解为“打草惊蛇”而应该是“自找麻烦”。
还有,有人把a walking skeleton(骨瘦如柴的人)误解成“行尸走肉”。
这一错误估计根源于skeleton(骨骼,骷髅)这个词的词意。
这一成语的寓意旨在形容一个人瘦得只剩一付骨头架子。
然而某些联想力丰富的人就把skeleton类比为“僵尸”,在加上前面正好有walking一词,于是“,行尸走肉”这样一个现成的中国成语就被错误的引申出来了。
请看,由于理解的不同,同一个成语的两种译义竟会如此大相径庭。
还有些人不懂得英语成语的特点,只单纯从表面上的词义来进行推理判断。

4.人莫知其苗之硕。
“人莫知其子之恶，莫知其苗之硕。”这句话 源自“四书”之一《大学》。一般翻译为“一 般人因为溺爱不明而不知道自己子女的缺失,因 贫得不满足而不觉得自家禾苗的丰美茂盛。” 也就是说“莫知”字在这里译为“不知道”， 英文里翻译为"does not know"”，有人指出这是 错误的。正确的翻译应该为“人未必知道他孩 子的不足，也未必知道他的庄稼的好坏。”
8.Like a hen on a hot girdle.
8.极不安定
母鸡怕水也怕火，如果把母鸡放在烘 饼用的热铁板上，她的样子应该跟热 锅上的蚂蚁没什么区别。所以英语口 语中“Like a hen on a hot girdle.” 表示极不安定。

But I told him, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch, or your two birds in the bush might fly away." Just like when you think you'll win the lottery before the draw.3. "Two birds in the bush are just dreams until one is caught." Example: There are so many people who keep talking about all the great things they could do in the future, like having two amazing business ideas. But I think, two birds in the bush are just dreams until one is caught. My neighbor always says he'll be a millionaire with his two big plans, but he never starts anything.4. "You can't rely on two birds in the bush when you need food now." Example: My brother was waiting for two big deals toe through instead of taking a small but sure job offer.

"Two birds in the bush? I'll take the one I can see." Example: My sister was choosing between two potential boyfriends who she didn't really know well. I told her, "Two birds in the bush? I'll take the one I can see." Just like when you're at a store, you don't go for two products you're not sure about, but the one you know is good.6. "Chasing two birds in the bush often means losing the one in hand." Example: A guy at work was trying to work on two big projects at the same time that were very risky, instead of focusing on the one he already had that was going well. His colleague said, "Chasing two birds in the bush often means losing the one in hand." It's like a fisherman trying to catch two big fish far away and letting the one he almost had get away.7. "The two birds in the bush may look shiny, but the one in hand feeds you." Example: Some young people are always attracted to those glamorous but uncertain career paths, like being a famous actor or singer. But an old man told them, "The two birds in the bush may look shiny, but the one in hand feeds you." Just as a student who dreams of Hollywood but has a good scholarship for a normal college.8. "Don't let the two birds in the bush blind you to the value of the one you've got." Example: A girl was so focused on two boys who were really popular but not very reliable. Her mother said, "Don't let the two birds in the bush blind you to the value of the one you've got." It's like a collector who ignores a real gem in his collection because he's chasing two rare items he may never get.9. "Two birds in the bush can't warm your nest tonight." Example:A homeless man was thinking about two possible shelters that might be available in a few days. Another homeless person said, "Two birds in the bush can't warm your nest tonight." Similar to when you're cold and you can't rely on a future coat, but need the one you can get right now.10. "Rather have a bird in hand than hope for two in the bush." Example: An old fisherman was given the choice between a small but certain catch today or waiting for two big ones tomorrow. He said, "Rather have a bird in hand than hope for two in the bush." Just like a farmer who would rather harvest the ripe crops now than wait for two better ones that might note.11. "Two birds in the bush are just illusions if you don't act on the one in hand." Example: My cousin was always thinking about two great business opportunities that he hadn't even started researching.I told him, "Two birds in the bush are just illusions if you don't act on the one in hand." It's like a writer who dreams of two best - selling books but doesn't finish the one he's currently writing.12. "You can't build a nest with two birds in the bush." Example:A young couple was waiting for two big inheritances to buy a house instead of saving money from their current jobs. Their friend said, "You can't build a nest with two birds in the bush." It's like a bird trying to build a nest without any materials while waiting for two perfect twigs that may nevere.13. "The two birds in the bush might be nice to look at, but the one in hand is what matters." Example: My aunt was always admiring two expensive dresses in a store window but she had a perfectly good dress at home. Her sister said, "The two birds in the bush might be nice to look at, but the one in hand is what matters." Similar to a gardener who admires two rare plants in another garden but has a beautiful one in his own.14. "Don't sacrifice the bird in hand for two in the bush that might not exist." Example: A worker was about to quit his stable job for two potential high - paying jobs that were not guaranteed. His friend warned him, "Don't sacrifice the bird in hand for two in the bush that might not exist." It's like a mountaineer leaving a safe ledge for two higher ones that might be just mirages.15. "Two birds in the bush? That's just a gamble, better keep the one in hand." Example: A gambler was thinking about betting on two long - shot horses instead of cashing in his small but sure win. Another gambler said, "Two birds in the bush? That's just a gamble, better keep the one in hand." Just like a treasure hunter who ignoresa small chest of gold for two rumored bigger ones.16. "The two birds in the bush are like far - off stars, while the one in hand is a real lantern." Example: A student was more interested in two very difficult and uncertain scholarships abroad rather than the one he could easily get at home. His teacher said, "The two birds in the bush are like far - off stars, while the one in hand is a real lantern." It's like a traveler ignoring a local inn for two luxurious hotels that are far away and might be full.17. "If you lose the bird in hand for two in the bush, you might end up with nothing." Example: A businessman was trying to expand into two new markets at once, which could risk his current successful business. His partner said, "If you lose the bird in hand for two in the bush, you might end up with nothing." It's like a builder who tears down his stable house to build two bigger ones and then can'tplete either.18. "Two birds in the bush are a distraction from the one in hand." Example: An athlete was thinking about two other sports he could potentially switch to instead of focusing on the one he was good at. His coach said, "Two birds in the bush are a distraction from the one in hand." It's like a painter who stops working on his half - finished masterpiece to think about two other paintings he could do.19. "Don't be fooled by the two birds in the bush, cherish the one in hand." Example: A man was always daydreaming about two beautiful women he might meet in the future instead of being happy with his loving wife. His friend said, "Don't be fooled by the two birds in the bush, cherish the one in hand." It's like a gardener who ignores his blooming flowers for two potential rare ones he might never find.20. "The two birds in the bush are like a miragepared to the real bird in hand." Example: A job seeker was waiting for two ideal job offers that seemed too good to be true instead of accepting a decent offer he had. His mentor said, "The two birds in the bush are like a miragepared to the real bird in hand." It's like a thirsty man waiting for two magical fountains in the distance while ignoring a small stream nearby.。
一些源自欧洲寓言名著的英文成语和谚语
一些源自欧洲寓言名著的英文成语和谚语1.a dog in the manger占着茅坑不拉屎的人出自《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables)，有一篇狗站马槽的故事，说的是一头狗躺在堆满稻草的马槽里，狗是不吃草的动物，而当马或牛一走进稻草时，这头狗却朝着马，牛狂哮，不准食草动物享用。
因此，“狗站马槽”就成了一个家喻户晓的成语而进入英语中，常用来比喻a person who prevents others from enjoying sth that is useless to himself; a churlish fellow who will neither use a thing himself nor let others use it，讽刺那些占据说职位或某些物质却不做事的人。
a dog in the manger是个名词性短语，常与系动词连用，充当表语（主语补足语）。
e.g. He borrowed a lot of books from the library, but he didn't read a book.He was really a dog in the manger. There are some officials who are only the dogs in the manger.2.bell the cat自告奋勇去冒险；老虎头上拍苍蝇bell the cat系成语to hang the bell about the cat's neck的简略，愿意是“给猫的脖子上挂铃”。
它来自《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables)中的《老鼠会议》(The Mice in Council)。
这篇寓言讲的是：一群老鼠在鼠洞里举行会议，讨论如何对付凶狠的猫。
白胡须老鼠提出：“我有个方法，在猫的脖子上挂一个铃。
这样，猫一走动铃就响，我们就可以闻铃声而逃避了”，群鼠一致同意这个建议，欢呼：“That's a capital idea. We will bell the cat! No more fear of the cat!”但是，谁去给猫挂铃铛呢？没有一只老鼠敢去，一个个都溜掉了。
