有没有英语小故事(有中文翻译)英语谚语

如题所述

1. 人山人海:在诗词用语(poetic expression)里,老外也有使用:"a (the) sea of faces",颇有咱的"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.(克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。如果按照美语说法,也许更易理解:"All good things come to an end."(意思是:所有好的事情,总有结束的一天。);假如是指好友最后也有分别的一天,那么可以说:"Eventually, all bosom friends will drift apart." (bosom friend是指知心的好友)
4、平时不烧香,临时抱佛脚:有人照字直译为:"When times are easy, we do not burn the incense,but when the trouble comes, we embrace the feet of the uddha." 这种说法,老外也会一知半解。美语里一般说法是:"WorshipGod every day; not just in times of adversity.(要每天敬拜神,不是只在困难时。)";对学生也可以说:"If you study hard every day, exams will not seem overwhelming.(如果你每天用功,考试就不会形成压力。)"
5、挂羊头,卖狗肉:有人照字直译为:"He advertises mutton, but sells dog's flesh."或"He hangs up a sheep's head at the shopfront and sells dog meat."这两种译法,恐怕老外都难理解,尤其谈到"狗肉",他们更会反感,因为狗是他们最爱的宠物,不过老外倒有相近的说法:"He applied bait-and-switch factics in business.(他经商的策略是先引诱顾客来,再改变货物的品质。)","Bait-and-switch"当名词用,也可不用连字号"This store uses bait and switch policy."或者简单的说:"Let the buyer be aware!(让消费者提高警觉)"或"Say one thing and do another."

Happy as a sand boy是一条英国谚语,其起源可以追溯到19世纪初期。其实sand boy不一定专指卖沙子的“小男孩”,因为在过去,boy多为对社会地位较低的成年人的爱称,因此sand boy多半指代那些为谋生计,挨家挨户叫卖沙子的成年人。卖沙子今天听起来有些好笑,但在19世纪确实是一项有利可图的买卖,...
