2.有哪些英语谚语的典故一、源于历史故事或历史事件。
历史上出现过众多的著名历史故事或事件,后人常用一简洁说法表达其内容,沿用久了就成了成语。如Sword damocles出自古代希腊的一则历史故事。
业通古希腊历史、文学的罗马杰出作家与政论家西塞罗(106BC?3BC)在其论文《图斯库拉的谈话》中写道:“纪元前4世纪西西里岛上叙拉古的统治者狄奥尼修斯一世(406BC?67BC)有个亲信的佞叫达摩克里斯,他很羡慕帝王的豪华生活,常说:“君王是人世间最幸福的人”。狄奥尼修斯为了教训这个想得君位者,在一次宴会上,要他坐在国王的宝座上,当他猛然抬头,只见头顶上有一把用头发悬着的宝剑,随时都刺到头顶的危险。
他吓得战战兢兢,如坐针毡,时刻提心吊胆,惶惶不安。由此便产生了“达摩克里斯的宝剑”这个成语,它被用来比喻临头的危险或情况的危急,类似于汉语的“千钧一发”。
又如burn one's boats(bridges),此成语中的bridges为美国人所使用,原指古罗马朱力斯·凯撒大军乘船越过Rubicon后就把船烧了,以此向士兵指明后路已断,不可能后退。现借用来比喻“不留后路,下定决心干到底”,同汉语的“破釜沉舟“。
二、源于寓言故事。寓言是用比喻的形式说明一定的道理,是文学作品中最为短小精练的一种形式。
如kill the goose to get the eggs,源于希腊寓言,说的是曾有一个乡下人,因为发财心切杀死了自己饲养的那只能下金蛋的鹅,以为如此就可一次获得全部想象中的金块,但其结果一无所获。现借比喻只贪图眼前利益,没有长远打算。
但汉语中不说“杀鹅取卵”而说“杀鸡取卵”,喻体不同,因此汉译时须遵循汉语成语的搭配规律。又如Veper and File出自《伊索寓言》,说的是一条蝰蛇(Viper)发现一把铁锉(File),以为是一顿美餐。
但铁锉说,它的天职是咬别人,而不是被别人咬。后人借此比喻“骗人者反受人骗”,汉译时要作直译或意译处理。
三、源于神话故事。神话是关于神仙或神化的古代英雄的故事,是古代人们对自然现象和社会生活的一种天真的解释和美好向往。
如rain cats and dogs,源于北欧神话,猫对天气有很大影响,英国水手至今说:“猫尾巴藏大风”。据说驾暴风雨的巫士化为猫形。
狗是风的信号,狗和狼都是暴风雨神奥丁的随从。在德国古画中,风被画成狗头和狼头。
因此,猫被年作暴雨的象征,狗是伴随暴雨的强风,to rain cats and dogs就是to rain heavily/hard,汉译便为“下倾盆大到雨”。又如Analthea's horn,汉译常为“丰饶的羊角”。
阿玛尔忒亚(Amalthea),希腊祖籍中一神女,是宙斯(Zeus为主神,相当于罗马神话中的朱庇特Jupiter)的保姆。婴儿时宙斯由神女阿玛尔忒亚喂以羊乳。
为了感思,宙斯敲下一羊角送给她。许诺让羊角主人永远丰饶。
四、传说。传说指的是人们口头流传下来的关于某人某事的叙述。
如swan song,据传说,音乐之神阿波罗(Apollo)的灵魂进入了一只天鹅,由此产生了毕达哥斯寓言:所有杰出诗人的灵魂都进入天鹅体内。另据相传天鹅(swan)在临终前唱的歌最优美动听。
后人就用swan song来比喻诗人、作曲家、演员等的“最后作品”,这也是其汉译形式。又如Leave no stone unturned,相传公元前447年波斯奖军马多尼奥斯在希腊的普拉蒂亚兵败被杀后,留下一大批财宝在军帐里。
底比斯的波利克拉特斯搜寻却一无所获,请示德尔斐神谕后知道要“翻转所有的石头”,最后找到了财宝。现借此比喻想方设法等,汉译为“千方百计,想尽办法”。
五、源于民间飞俗。如a bird of ill omen,源出古代占卜风俗,延至今日,猫头鹰、鹳则被视为吉祥鸟)。
渡鸟嗅觉灵敏,能确定远方死尸和腐尸地点。因此渡鸟象征死亡。
猫头鹰在恶劣天气来临之前喊叫,而坏天气常带来疾病,故猫头鹰被视为丧鸟,阴森之鸟。后人以此比喻“不吉利的人,常带来不幸消息的人”,汉译也是如此。
又如a feather in your cap,汉译为“值得荣耀的事、荣誉”。源于广泛流行于亚洲和美洲印第安人当中的一种风俗:每杀死一个敌人就在头饰或帽子上加插一根羽毛。
古代吕西亚人和许多其他古人也有类似风俗,均以此来显示战绩与荣誉。六、源于谚语。
谚语是在人闪中间流传的固定语句,用简单通俗的话反映出深刻的道理,是社会生活经验的总结。如birds of a feather,birds of a feather flock together.即“物以类聚,人以群分”,转义为“一丘之貉”。
在《鲁迅全集》中有这样一句:“增加混乱的倒是有些悲观论者……将一切作者诋为‘一丘之貉’”。其英译为In fact it is these pessimists who increase the chaos by…considering all writers birds of a feather.又如 early bird,其汉泽为“早起者,早到的人”,源出谚语The early bird gets/catches the worm.意为“捷足先登(得),先下手为强”。
比较First come,first served.意指“先到的先招待”,与前一个有所不同。七、源于某些作品。
英语中有较好的成语出自某些作品,有的是原封未动的摘引,有的是节缩而成。如wash one's hands of a thing,可译为“洗手不干……;与……断绝关系”。
出自《马太福音》,犹太巡抚彼拉多主持审判耶稣,由于他判定。

4.英语谚语典故,急The Dog in the Manger出自《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables),有一篇狗站马槽的故事,说的是一头狗躺在堆满稻草的马槽里,狗是不吃草的动物,而当马或牛一走进稻草时,这头狗却朝着马,牛狂哮,不准食草动物享用。
因此,“狗站马槽”就成了一个家喻户晓的成语而进入英语中,常用来比喻a person who prevents others from enjoying sth that is useless to himself; a churlish fellow who will neither use a thing himself nor let others use it,讽刺那些占据说职位或某些物质却不做事的人。
The Dog in the Manger is a fable attributed to Aesop, concerning a dog who one afternoon lay down to sleep in the manger. On being awoken, he ferociously kept the cattle in the farm from eating the hay on which he chose to sleep, even though he was unable to eat it himself, leading an ox to mutter the moral of the fable:
People often begrudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.
The phrase is proverbial, referring to people who prevent others from having something that they themselves have no use for. A typical example is the child who discards a toy — until a sibling tries to play with it. Then the first child becomes possessive about something they no longer wanted.
A twist on the story was used by Charles Schulz in a "Peanuts" strip, in which Lucy van Pelt acquires a baseball card of Charlie Brown's favorite player, and she refuses to give it to him. After he leaves disconsolately, she decides she doesn't really like the card that well, and throws it away.
In Spanish, the story is called El Perro del Hortelano, or The Vegetable Gardener's Dog.
The metaphor is also attributed to Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas by comparing the dog with the Pharisees.
5.英语谚语故事Plug one's ears while stealing a bell(掩耳盗铃)完整的英语,后面有中文意思:)~
In the Spring and Autumn period, a thief had stolen a bell and intended to carry it away on his back, but the bell was too bulky and heavy to be carried, so he tried to break it into pieces with a hammer to make it easier for carrying. On his first hit, however, the bell made a loud noise. He thus feared that the ringing sound might be heard by someone, who would come to rob him of his bell. His fright made him plug his own ears, while hitting the bell with the hammer. The bell sound was, nevertheless, audible to others and therefore to stuff his ears for the purpose of stealing a bell was a stupid action it is as foolish as burying one's head in the sand.
from Huai Nanzi(淮南子著)
掩耳盗铃
在春秋战国时期,有一个小偷偷了一只钟。他准备把钟扛在背上带走。可是钟又大又沉,很难扛走。因此他想用锤子把钟敲成碎片,这样运起来就能多了。可是,他敲了一下,那只钟发出巨大的响声。他怕别人听到了钟声会来抢他的钟,于是他在锤子敲钟时捂上了自己的耳朵。不过,即使他这样做,别人还是听得到钟声的。所以掩耳盗铃是非常愚蠢的行为,就像把头埋在沙子中一样。
(淮南子著)
6.英语谚语故事一只猫的生命哲学:The Zen of Cat原来很大的道理不一定需要很难的语言去解释,本文简单地一问一答告诉我们,当身边的人离去时,他们其实活在我们的心里;告诉我们,生命原本是一个无所谓开始更无所谓结束的圆圈;告诉我们,每一段生命的结束都意味着新生命的开始。
只要心中还有爱,有思念,我们就可以笑对生死,珍惜人生。——题记 The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat's days were numbered.The doctor had said there wasn't anything more that could be done,that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible. The man stroked the Cat on his lap and sighed.The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear rolled down the Man's cheek and landed on the Cat's forehead.The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look. “Why do you cry, Man?”the Cat asded.“Because you can't bear the thought of losing me? Because you think you can never replace me?”The Man nodded “yes.” “And where do you think I'll be when I leave you?”the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. “Close your eyes, Man,” the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told. “What color are my eyes and fur?” the Cat asked. “Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown,” the Man replied. “And where is it that you most often see me?”asked the Cat. “I see you…on the kitchen windowsill watching the birds…on my favorite chair…on my desk lying on the papers I need…on the pillow next to my head at night.” “Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes,” said the Cat. “Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my 'toy.'” The Man opened his eyes, then reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. “Now take each end of the string in one hand,” the Cat ordered. The Man did so. “The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,” the Cat said. The Man complied. “You have made a continuous circle,” said the cat.“Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string?” The Man inspected the string and then shook his head “no.” “Close your eyes again,” the Cat said.“Now lick your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise. “Just do it,” the Cat said.“Lick your hand,think of me in all my familiar places, think about all the pieces of string.” The Man felt foolish, licking his hand, but he did as he was told. He discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop,and when he didn't, he opened his eyes. The Cat's eyes were closed.The Man stroked the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone. The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the windowsill, then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and through his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held clutched in his hand. One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was a lovely calico and white…very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same. 男人非常伤心。
他知道猫余下的日子不多了。医生说已经没得治了,他只能把猫带回家,并尽可能地让他在剩下的时间里过得舒服些。
男人把猫放在腿上,叹了口气。猫睁开眼睛,呼噜呼噜地叫着,抬眼看了看男人。
一滴眼泪从男人的脸颊边滑落,落在了猫的额头上。猫有点不高兴地看了他一眼。
“你哭个什么啊,伙计?”猫问道,“因为你无法承受将要失去我的念头?因为你认为永远都没有什么能代替我?”男人点了点头。“是啊。”
“那么你认为我离开你以后,会到什么地方去了呢?”猫问道。男人无望地耸了耸肩。
“闭上眼睛吧,伙计,”猫说。男人疑惑地看了他一眼,但还是听话地闭上了眼睛。
“我的眼睛和毛皮是什么颜色的?”猫问。“你的眼睛是金色的,你的毛皮是浓郁而温暖的褐色的。”
男人回答道。 “那你最常在什么地方见到我呢?”猫问。
“我经常见到你……在厨房地窗台上看鸟……在我最喜欢的椅子上……躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上……晚上睡在我脑袋边的枕头上。”“那么,无论什么时候你想见我,你只要闭上你的眼睛就可以了。”
猫说。 “把地上的那段绳子捡起来——那里,我的‘玩具’。”
男人睁开眼睛,伸手捡起了绳子。绳子大约有两英尺(约0.6米)。
