文学翻译中对于中国俗话(习语和谚语)的研究——俗话的功能和分类探析
2020年44期总第536期ENGLISH ON CAMPUS文学翻译中对于中国俗话(习语和谚语)的研究——俗话的功能和分类探析文/谷远洁【摘要】中国俗话是中国文学作品和文化研究中的重要组成部分，我们在进行文学翻译的过程中需要厘清如何更好地把中国俗话用英文表达出来。
中文有悠久的历史，在它演变和发展的过程中，大量的习语和谚语出现，并且成为中文语言宝库里的瑰宝。
本文主要从中国俗话的定义、功能、意义和分类入手，探讨如何更好地去翻译中国俗话。
【关键词】俗话；习语和谚语；定义；功能和分类【作者简介】谷远洁(1985.02-)，女，汉族，江苏盐城人，南京铁道职业技术学院，讲师，硕士，研究方向：翻译。
一、俗话的定义中文的“俗话”二字，在英文中没有一个完美而准确的等同语。
最接近的翻译应该是英文中的 “idiom” 或是 “proverb”，即习语或是谚语。
本文首先要探讨一下习语和谚语的定义，其次论述习语和谚语的功能和意义，最后阐述一下中文习语和谚语的分类。
1. 习语和谚语。
根据《中英习语和谚语词典》的记载 ，“Definitions of idioms and proverbs are many and varied, but the general description that characterizes their properties is roughly the same”。
以下是该词典对于“习语” 的定义:A n i d i o m i s a f o r m o f e x p r e s s i o n,g ra m m a t i c a l construction, phrase, peculiar to a language; a peculiarity of phraseology approved by the usage of a language, and often having a signification other than its grammatical and logical one.(Oxford English Dictionary) An idiom is a group of words which has a specific connotation not usually equal to the sum of the meaning of the individual words(Dictionary of Language and Linguistics)至于“谚语”的定义，这部《中英习语和谚语词典》中是这样说的： “A proverb is a succinct and instructive statement that contains a piece of advice, a warning, and a penetrating judgment or even a philosophical idea.”在《牛津英语词典》中，“谚语”的意思是：a short pithy saying in common and recognized use; a concise sentence, often metaphorical and alliterative in form, which is held to express some truth ascertained by experience or observation and familiar to all.在《牛津谚语词典》里, “谚语”的意思是 “a traditional saying which offers advice or presents a moral in short and pithy manner”。
英语中源于古希腊文化的谚语
1.An?Apple?of?Discord争斗之源；不和之因；祸根??An?Apple?of?Discord直译为"纠纷的苹果"，出自荷马史诗Iliad中的希腊神话故事??传说希腊阿耳戈英雄(Argonaut)珀琉斯(Peleus)和爱琴海海神涅柔斯的女儿西蒂斯(Thetis)在珀利翁山举行婚礼，大摆宴席。
他们邀请了奥林匹斯上(Olympus)的诸神参加喜筵，不知是有意还是无心，惟独没有邀请掌管争执的女神厄里斯(Eris)。
这位女神恼羞成怒，决定在这次喜筵上制造不和。
于是，她不请自来，并悄悄在筵席上放了一个金苹果，上面镌刻着"属于最美者"几个字。
天后赫拉(Hera)，智慧女神雅典娜应得金苹果，获得"最美者"称号。
苹果，2个民族之间战争的起因。
????The?Heel?of?Achilles?亦作The?Achilles’?Heel唯一弱点；薄弱环节；要害??The?Heel?of?Achilles直译是"阿基里斯的脚踵"，是个在欧洲广泛流行的国际性成语。
它源自荷马史诗Iliad中的希腊神话故事。
??阿基里斯是希腊联军里最英勇善战的骁将，也是荷马史诗《伊利亚特》里的主要人物之一。
传说他是希腊密耳弥多涅斯人的国王珀琉斯和海神的女儿西蒂斯所生的儿子。
阿基里斯瓜瓜坠地以后，母亲想使儿子健壮永生，把他放在火里锻炼，又捏着他的脚踵倒浸在冥河(Styx)圣水里浸泡。
因此阿基里斯浑身像钢筋铁骨，刀枪不入，只有脚踵部位被母亲的手捏住，没有沾到冥河圣水，成为他的唯一要害。
在特洛伊战争中，阿基里斯骁勇无敌，所向披靡，杀死了特洛伊主将，着名英雄赫克托耳(Hector)，而特洛伊的任何武器都无法伤害他的身躯。
后来，太阳神阿波罗(Apollo)把阿基里斯的弱点告诉了特洛伊王子帕里斯，阿基里斯终于被帕里斯诱到城门口，用暗箭射中他的脚踵，负伤而死。
对英语谚语在高中英语教学中的认识
对英语谚语在高中英语教学中的认识张丽、蒙佳、张玲丽为了更好的开展《高中英语课堂谚语导入有效性研究》这个课题，我们有必要对英语谚语作一些必要的了解和认识。
众所周知，英语是一门语言，它是一种工具，同时，它也是一种艺术。
无论是从它抑扬顿挫和连贯的发音，还是那丰富的词汇，清晰的结构，还是那准确的表达能力，英文都充分的显示了其世界第一通用语言的优势和特点。
记得某位著名的语言教育家说：“学习外文就像是攻碉堡，我们要从四面八方去冲击它。
”对于一个外国语言，人们很多时候抱怨因为找不到一个好语言环境而总学不好。
其实，攻下英语这个“碉堡”其实不麻烦：阅读英文原著，学习英文教材，观看英文电影，听英语演讲，看英语杂志，听英文歌曲，甚至，平时把注意到的英文生单词记住……这些都可以一点点的累积英语能力，于是，我们尝试通过英语谚语导入来提高学生学习英语的兴趣，提高学习英语的能力。
一、英语谚语概述谚语是民间文学的一种，是群众经验的提炼。
它反映了人民的生活和思想，具有广泛的通俗性、生动的口语化等特点。
据《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》注英语谚语的定义为：Short well-known saying that states a general truth or gives advice.[1](P1192) 谚语是通俗简练，生动活泼的韵语或短句，它经常以口语的形式，在人民中间广泛地沿用和流传，是人民群众表现实际生活经验的一种现成话，具有广泛的流传性，以说知识、讲道理为主，且大都以短句的形式出现。
英语资源丰富，与生活息息相关，在日常学习与生活中对资料的收集比较轻松，也能让大家接受，容易调动研究兴趣。
这是我们进行研究的有利条件。
但我们也看到了其中的几个难点。
由于英语谚语调用了较多通俗口语，打破了语法规则，使得理解难度加大，而且谚语涉及生活各个方面，选择难度大，我们容易按照中文习惯而造成理解的错误。
二、英语谚语的历史形成英语谚语形成的途径比较，尤其是其历史形成。
