常见中文俗语英译技巧
常见中文俗语英译技巧许多中国人爱用俗语、成语、俚语。
由于中美两国文化、风俗、思想、习惯的差异，如果照字直译，或把单字「堆在一起」，老外听了，也许就会「满头雾水」、「迷迷糊糊」，成了他们所说的「只有你们中国人听得懂」的「中国英文」（Chinese English）。
在此，把一些常见的中文俗语与一般老外的说法相对比较，或许可供有兴趣的读者参考。
1. 人山人海：有人直译为：People mountain people sea.这就是「中国英文」，老外很难理解。
他们指「人多」时，通常只说：「There is a large crowd of people.」如果看到电影院门前大排长龙，也只说：「There is (was) a long movie line.」不过在诗词用语(poetic expression) 里，老外也有使用：「a (the) sea of faces」，颇有咱们「人山人海」的味道。
例如：Looking out upon the sea of faces, Mr. A delivered a touching speech.（望着一片人山人海的听众，A先生发表一篇动人的演说。
）Standing at his podium, President Clinton saw a sea of faces waving at him.（柯林顿总统站在讲台上看到人山人海的人群挥手向他致意。
）可见，说话者通常要在台上或高处，才有「人海」的感觉。
因此，可以说：I saw a sea of faces from the top of the building. 但在平地的人群中，就不说：「I saw the sea of faces.」也不说：「There is a sea of faces.」只说：「I saw a large crowd of people.」2. 家家有本难念的经：有人译成：Every family cooking －pot has a black spot. (意思是：每个家庭的锅子都有黑色的污点)这样说法，老外恐怕不能充分了解。

不过老外最常的说法是：Many families have skeletons in the closet. (许多家庭的衣柜里都有骨骸) (骨骸就是指家丑)或者说：Every family has its own source of shame. (每个家庭都有自己的丑事)说白些，就是：Every family has its own problem.3. 天下无不散的宴席：有人直译为：There are no feasts in the world which do not break up at last.老外听后，也许很难体会其中意义。
