体育黼常用习语的翻译
樊 云
（浙江师范大学外国语学院，浙江金华３２１ ００４） 摘要：习语是某一语言在使用过程中形成的独特的固定的表达方式，它存在于社会不同的专业和领域中，体育领域也不例外。本文 介绍了体育英语中常用的一些习语，并针对其翻译方法和途径提出了几点建议。 关键词：体育英语；习语；翻译 Ｔｒａｎｓｌａｔｉｏｎ ｏｆ Ｉｄｉｏｍｓ Ｆｒｅｑｕｅｎｔｌｙ Ｕｓｅｄ ｉｎ Ｓｐｏｒｔｓ Ｅｎｇｌｉｓｈ
其含义、感情色彩以及形象都和我们汉语里的“事后诸葛
亮”相同。
４．３意译法
翻译过程中，若直译效果不好，套用又无合适的汉语 习语时，可采用意译法，把英语习语的含义表达出来。例 如“ｈｉｇｈ ｆｉｖｅ”，这是比赛场合经常见到的一个动作，是 两个人一起做的手势，各自把一个手伸得高高的，然后两 人把手掌相对用力拍一下。译成汉语时，我们可以采用意 译的方法，把它翻译成“举手击掌，通常用来表示胜利的 一种手势语”。 上面我们简略探讨了一下有关体育英语中的常用的一 些习语及其翻译方法，希望对广大的体育工作者和爱好者 在阅读有关体育的英语报道时有所帮助。近年来，我国体 育事业已开始转向市场化，国际体育交流日益频繁，而体 育翻译和研究工作却相对滞后。从某种意义上来说，体育 翻译工作的好坏，已经关系到我国体育事业的进一步腾飞 和对外开放的进一步扩大。因此，我们要大力加强体育翻 译的研究工作，为我国体育界做出自己应有的贡献。 参考文献：

习语的翻译
（Translation of English Idioms）
英语习语是一个比较宽广的范畴，是经过长
时间的使用而提炼出来的固定短语或短句，是人 类从劳动中创造出来，和民族的历史背景、经济 生活、地理环境、风俗习惯、心理状态紧密相关， 把丰富的思想内涵精辟地表达出来，言简意赅、
风格和异域文化特色、文化意象，对原习语的表现 形式和意义原则上不做任何调整。鲁迅先生说过： “竭力想保存原书的口吻，大底连语句的词语也不 甚颠倒”。这也许就是直译的意思。

英语idiom例子
英语习语（idioms）是英语语言中的一种特殊表达方式，通常由固定的短语或表达组成，具有特定的含义，不能仅仅通过其组成部分的字面意义来理解。
以下是一些英语习语的例子：1. "It's raining cats and dogs." - 意思是“下着倾盆大雨”，而不是字面意义上的“下着猫和狗”。
2. "Bringing coals to Newcastle" - 意思是“做多余的事情”，因为纽卡斯尔（Newcastle）是英国的一个煤炭重镇。
3. "The early bird catches the worm." - 意思是“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”，即提早行动的人能够得到更好的机会或好处。
4. "That's a long shot." - 意思是“那是一个不太可能的事情”，而不是字面意义上的“那是一次长射”。
5. "You're a big help." - 意思是“你很有帮助”，而不是字面意义上的“你是一个大帮助”。
6. "It's a piece of cake." - 意思是“那很容易”，而不是字面意义上的“那是一块蛋糕”。
7. "He's a dead ringer for his brother." - 意思是“他和他兄弟长得一模一样”，而不是字面意义上的“他已经死了，还像个钟摆一样摆动”。
8. "She's always the first to arrive and the last to leave." - 意思是“她总是第一个到达，最后一个离开”，而不是字面意义上的“她总是第一个到达和最后一个离开”。
9. "He's a fast talker." - 意思是“他说话很快”，而不是字面意义上的“他说话很流利”。
英语习语的翻译
The Definition of Idioms
习语是某一语言在使用过程中形成的独特的固 定的表达方式。广义的习语（idioms）包括俗 语（colloquialisms）、 谚语（proverbs）和俚 语（slang expressions）等。
英汉两种语言历史悠久，包含着大量的习语， 它们或含蓄、幽默、或严肃、典雅，不仅言简 意赅，而且形象生动，妙趣横生，给人一种美 的享受。由于地理、历史、宗教信仰、生活习 俗等方面的差异，英汉习语承载着不同民族的 文化特色和文化信息，它们与文化传统紧密相 连，不可分割。习语中的文化因素往往是翻译 中的难点。
有其父必有其子
a lion at home, a mouse abroad
在家如狮，在外如鼠
Life is short and time is swift 人生苦短，岁月如逝
2.英语习语和汉语习语形义部分相同
as strong as a horse
力大如牛
a lion in the way
拦路虎
习语不仅大量地出现在文艺作品中和政治、 科学论文中，在口语中也会使用一些习语， 因此，习语的翻译是一个非常重要的问题， 习语翻译的好坏对整个译文的质量及听懂英 语口语都有直接的影响。
英语习语汉译主要有以下四种方法: 直译法 直译加注法 释义 归化
1.直译 （对等翻译法）
如果英语习语和汉语习语在形义方面完全相同，或
鉴于公司间的恶意接收出价最近猛增，这个国家里的那些最大的 公司有15%已为高级管理人员配备了“黄金降落伞”（*黄金降落 伞：一种工作合同，规定所在公司如被收购，雇员[常为高级行政 管理人员]可以辞职，而其薪水和各种福利照旧，直至合同期满。）
Pampering is building into what is called the "four-two-one syndrome"*-four grandparents and two parents, all doting on an only child.

The Translation of Idioms--by Wu Xiaofei, Hu Ping, Fu Mei Thank you very much. Honorable Mr. Zhang, Ladies and gentleman, Good morning!I am very happy to have this chance to give my presentation.As you see, our theme is the translation of idioms.Firstly, I would like to talk about the definition of the terms I shall use in my presentation.DefinitionIdioms are words, phrases, or expressions that cannot be taken literally.In other words, when used in everyday language, they have a meaning other than the basic one you would find in the dictionary. Every language has its own idioms. Idioms are set phrases or short sentences that are unusual either grammatically or semantically for their meanings cannot be derived from the conjoined meaning of its elements, as in “It’s raining cats and dogs!”Background informationAs we all know, idioms can somehow reflect characteristics of culture. The Chinese and English idioms are actually the typical examples. I’d like to show the differences as follows.1.Differences of comparison (比喻)中国人常常用成语“雨后春笋”来形容一般事物的迅速发展和大量涌现。

III. Translation of idioms
1. Corresponding idioms There are some English idioms corresponding to ready-made idioms both in meaning and in structure. Such idioms can be turned into corresponding Chinese ones and vice versa. 1) In ancient times if a man’s eye was put out by his enemy, he might get revenge by putting his enemy’s eye out. This was the rule of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.. 2) You pretended that you were helping them out of their difficulty, but actually you are pouring oil on the fire and making matters worse. 3) If it is a wet summer the firm making mackintoshes will find good markets, if there is a heat wave there will be a special big demand for bathing suits, if we have shares in both we need not feel unduly anxious about the weather, for what we lose on the swings we shall gain on the roundabouts. 4) Wall has ears. 5) a bolt from the blue

英汉习语中所反映的文化差异表现（习语的来源） ： 包括四个方面：地理环境；传统习俗；宗教信仰；历史典故 1．地理环境对习语文化的影响。 习语的形成与人们的劳动生活密切相关。 英国是一个岛国,人们的生活以航海打渔为主;而汉民族生活在亚洲大陆东部, 地处北温带,气候比较温和,人们的生活与土地有着不可分割的关系。由于自然 环境和地理上的差异,中国人和西方人对同一词汇的理解、联想也有所不同。 例如,在形容一个人非常奢侈浪费时,英语是“spend money like water”,而汉 语是“挥金如土”。 中国是一个内陆国家,幅员辽阔,有许多名山大川,因此有许多与山有关的成语, 如“安如泰山”,“开门见山”,“江山易改,禀性难移”及“留得青山在,不愁 没柴烧”等。而在英语中则有许多有关于船和海的习语,在汉语中找不到与之 完全对应的习语。如“all at sea(不知所措)”,“in deep water(陷入严重困 境)”,“when one‘s ship comes home(当某人发财时)”,“water under the bridge(无法挽回的过去)”,“be of the first water(第一流的)”等。 而且,地域不同,各地自然景观亦各有特点,具体反映在语言上也有所不同。 在用自然景观或物体来作比喻时,语言间就存在着明显的差异。如在汉语中有 “有眼不识泰山”、“不到黄河心不死”、“不到长城非好汉”等。而在英 语中则有“All roads lead to Rome”,“Take a French leave”,“Carry Coals to Newcastle(把煤送到纽卡斯尔,此地盛产煤,意为多此一举)”,“go Dutch”等。
