  • 【译言译语】英汉谚语的文化差异及翻译

    期内拥有世界上最强大的海军。正像邱吉尔说过的那样,英国人是海洋生物。许多英语谚语都起源于他们的航海经验。 [en]Rats desert a sinking ship.[/en][cn]船沉鼠要逃(树倒猢狲散)。[/cn] [en]A small leak will sink a great ship.[/en][cn]小漏沉大船(蝼蚁之穴能溃千里之堤)。[/cn] [en]Any port in a storm.[/en][cn]船在暴风雨中不择港口(慌不择路)[/cn] 以上谚语都与航海有关,而它们相对映的汉语谚语却有大陆文化特点。A sinking ship, a great ship, port等词都和航海有密切联系。而“树”、“堤”、“路”都和陆地活动有关。 英汉语的鲜明区别是英国人用他们的航海经验作为生动机智的谚语的源泉,而中国人却从他们在陆地上的经验吸取营养,产生谚语。 5. 与英国历史有关的谚语( Proverbs related to the history of England ) 每个国家都有自己的历史。由于谚语本身就是历史的产物它们回反映出国家历史的某些方面。 [en]It is as hard as to please a [w]knave[/w] as a knight.[/en][cn]取悦坏蛋和骑士同样困难。[/cn] [en]Kings’ [w]chaff[/w] is worth other men’s corn.[/en][cn]国王的糠胜似百姓的粮。[/cn] 如今,骑士、国王已经不再是英语国家社会生活中的重要部分了,对于今天的英国人来说只是历史。 英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此,翻译英语谚语时,仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性(等价性)为前提,寻求对等的表现是不够的。译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段,力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特谚语在字典中的定义是短小精练的民间智慧警句,一般形式严谨,经常包括鲜明的形象和使人难忘的韵律。谚语有的语言内涵色彩,才能使译文讽喻得当,宜于说理,又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。

  • 常用英语谚语:大树底下好乘凉

    All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. 只工作不休息,聪明孩子也变傻。Beauty without virtue is a rose without fragrance. 无德之美犹如没有香味的玫瑰,徒有其表。More hasty,less speed. 欲速则不达。It’s never too old to learn. 活到老,学到老。All that glitters is not gold. 闪光的未必都是金子。
