.-中国习惯用语(英文翻译)1.一桶水摇不响,半桶水响叮当有人照字面译成:Thefullpotofwatermakesnosound;thehalf-emptypotofwaterisnoisy.老外听后,也许会感到困惑。他们有自己的说法:Alittleknowledge(orlearning)canbe(oris)dangerous.〔一知半解很危险〕或者说:Stillwaterrunsdeep.〔静水深不可测〕也可以说:Hewhoknowsthemostsaystheleast.〔懂得越多的人,反而说得越少。〕至于“大智假设愚〞,通常可以这么说:Atrulywisepersondoesnotshowoffhis(her)ability.〔真正聪明的人,是不会显要自己的能力〕2.水落石出有人照字直译为:Asthewaterlevelsinks,thestonesareexposed.这样说,恐怕老外还是听不懂。他们的说法是:Allsecretsmayeventuallyetolight.(所有祕密最后总会曝光。)也可以说:Eventually,everysecretwillbedisclosed...word.zl-
.-3.这山望到那山高有人译成:Theapplesontheothersideofthewallarethesweetest.〔意思是:墙那边的苹果最甜〕当然,如要译成:Ifyoustandonamountain,youfeelthedistantmountainseemshigherthanyours.老外也勉强能承受。而他们的最习惯说法是:Thegrassalwayslooksgreenerontheotherside.〔另一边的草,看来总是绿些。〕4.烈火炼真金,患难见真情有人译成:Fireisthetestofgold;adversityisthetestoffriendship.这句译文,虽然很好,老外也能了解,但是他们还有另外的说法:Liquorbringsoutaperson"struecolor.〔烈酒能显示一个人真正的特色〕或者说:Winerevealsaperson"strueheart.虽然老外不用“烈火炼真金〞的比喻,但有“路遥知马力〞的说法:Byalongroad,weknowahorse"sstrength;attimesofdifficulty,wediscoverafriend"struecharacter.5.雷声大,雨点小有人译为:..word.zl-
.-Thethunderroarsloudly,butlittlerainfalls.或者说:Allwehearisthunder,butnorainfalls.虽然这样直译比拟容易理解,但是老外的说法是这样的:Actionsspeaklouderthanwords.(行动胜于言谈)或Allweheariswords,butthereisnoaction.〔只动嘴不动手〕或Actionsandwordsshouldgohandinhand.(言行必须一致)另外,还有英语里还有这样的说法:Anemptybarrelmakesbiggestsound.〔空洞的话说得太多了。〕6.人不可貌相,海水不可斗量有人译为:Amancannotbeknownbyhislook,norcantheoceanbemeasuredbyadipper.这样的译法只是直译,如果能够稍加修改,老外就能了解:Amancannotbejudgedbyhisappearance,norcanthewaterintheseabemeasuredbyabucket.不过,老外通常的说法是这样的:Wecannotjudgeapersonbyappearanceonly.或Youcannotjudgeabookbyitscover.(意思是:一本书的好坏取决于它的容,而不是它的封面装帧的漂亮与否。)..word.zl-
.-7.口蜜腹剑,笑里藏刀有人译为Hismouthishoney;hisheartisasword.外国人听了会对这样的比喻摸不着头脑,如果要形容某人“口蜜腹剑,笑里藏刀〞,我们可以说withhoneyonone"slipandmurderinone"sheart,或者honey-mouthedbutdagger-hearted.也可以更直接的译成Heisanevilmanwhohasamouththatpraisesandahandthatkills.8.少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲有人译成Ifyouneglectstudywhenyouareyoung,whatmayhappentoyouroldage?这句问句会把老外问得云里雾里,因为他们沒有“学而优那么仕〞的思想,也不认为功课差,将来就会伤悲。他们劝告子女经常说的是Studying/workinghardcanleadyoutoabrighter/morepromisingfuture.(努力用功会带给你光明的前程。)当然也可以对年轻人说:Studyhardwhenyouareyoung.Itwillpayoffwhenyougetolder...word.zl-
.-(年轻时好好努力,到老的时就会觉得学有所值。)9.学如行舟,不进那么退如果直译成:Learningislikerowingupstream;nottoadvanceistodropback.老外听后,也许会感到一头雾水。这样修改一下,表达可以清晰一些:Learningseemslikerowingupstream(逆流);ifonedoesnotadvance,onewillfallback.Learningislikerowingagainstthecurrent(激流),ifonedoesnotadvance,onewillretreat.更直接的说法是:Ifyoudon"tmakeprogress,youwillfallbehind.10.一日为师,终身为父有这样的译法:Hewhoteachesmeforonedayismyfatherforlife.Ifyouaremyteacherforevenoneday,youwillbemyteacher(mentor)allmylife.Hewhoteachesmemaybeconsideredmyfather-figureforlife.这几种译法意思都是“教师即使对我只有一天的教导,也会让我一生都受用不尽。〞外国人也有他们表达师生关系的谚语,如:Teachotherstofishandtheywillfishforalifetime.(授人以鱼,不如授人以渔)Giveamanfish,hewillhaveameal;teachhimtofish,hewillhavefoodallhislife.11.忠言逆耳,良药苦口有人译成Faithfulwordsarecontrarytotheears;goodmedicinetastesbittertothemouth.也有人反译为:..word.zl-
.-Bitterwordsaremedicine;sweetwordsbringillness.Goodadviceoftenjarsontheears;bitterpillshavegoodeffects.这些说法,老外也会“一知半解〞,不如直接一点说成:Honestadvicemaybedistastefultotherecipient.Honestadviceishardtoaccept.Truthisahardpilltoswallow.更简单的说就是:Truthhurts.12.近墨者黑,近朱者赤有人直译为:onewhostaysnearvermiliongetsstainedred,andonewhostaysnearinkgetsstainedblack.(vermilion是朱砂或鲜红色的意思)也有人译成:Whenyoutouchblack,youbeeblack;whenyoutouchred,youbeered.这种说法,恐怕老外一时无法理解真正含意。不过他们倒有这么说:Onetakesthebehaviorofone"spany.(一个人的行为,往往受到朋友的影响。)或Onetakesontheattributesofone"sassociates.(attributes复数時是指品质、特性;associates指朋友、同事)简单的说,就是:Watchthepanyyoukeep!(小心交朋友!)..word.zl-
