8. 直译加注法 司马昭之心，路人皆知。 毛遂自荐 世外桃源 画龙点睛 画蛇添足 三个臭皮匠，顶个诸葛亮。 班门弄斧 9. 粗俗语回避法 我要去就是王八蛋。 I’ll be damned if I’ll go. 他妈的，雨真大。 Blast it! What a heavy rain! 真该死，我没赶上末班车。 Oh, hell. I’ve missed the last train. 你可以滚蛋了。 You can go to the devil! 四、翻译常用的八种技巧 1. 重译法 (repetition) 2. 增译法 (amplification) 3. 减译法 (omission) 4. 词类转移法 (conversion) 5. 词序调整法 (inversion) 6. 分译法 (division) 7. 正说反译, 反说正译法 (negation) 8. 语态 变换法 (the change of the voices) 习语的翻译策略 一.直译 直译能够比较完整地保留原习语的比喻形象、民族色彩和语言风格，但必须以不引起读者误解和不违背译文表达习惯为前提。例如： （1）处理人民内部的矛盾，必须坚持和风细雨的方法，坚持“团结-批评-团结”的方法。 It is essential to persist in using methods as mild as a drizzle and as gentle as a breeze, and to adhere to the formula of “unity-criticism-unity”, in dealing with contradictions among the people. （2）所以这李纨虽青春丧偶，且处于膏粱锦绣之中，竟如“槁木死灰”一般，一概不问…… So this young widow living in the lap of luxury was no better off than withered wood or cold ashes, taking no interest in theoutside world… （3）他一家子在这儿，他的房子、地在这儿，他跑？ 跑了和尚跑不了庙。 Escape? But his home and property can’t escape. The monk may runaway, but the temple can’t run with him. （4）咳！这一来，竹篮子打水一场空了！ Ah! We are drawing water in a bamboo basket. 二.意译 当直译有困难或勉强译出而英语读者无法理解式，一般应采用意译法。这主要是翻译时抓住内容和喻义，牺牲形象、结合上下文比较灵活地转达原意。 （5）她怕碰一鼻子灰，话到了嘴边，她又把它吞了下去。 She was afraid of being snubbed, so she swallowed the words that came to her lips. （6）她好久不来信了，一家子盼了星星盼月亮。 For many months no letter came from her. Till her whole family worried over her day and night. （7）我要是有个三长两短，你给玉山捎个话！ If anything should happen to me, let Yushan know! （8）你不能戴着木头眼镜，只看一寸远。 The trouble with you is you cannot see an inch beyond your nose. 三.节译 在汉语习语中，常有并列的对偶结构，用两个不同的喻体表达相同的喻意。对此类汉语习语通常可采用节译法，即省去并列重复的部分，保留它的基本喻意。 （9）冷淡的阳光照着他们的愁眉苦脸和长发白眼。 The cold, pale sunlight fell on their gloomy faces, long hair and lustreless eyes. （10）最可恶的是行里的同仁背后骂我是个老糊涂，瞎了眼，叫一个不学无术的三等货来做我的襄理。 What is most detestable is that all my colleagues in the bank call me a blind old fool behind my back beca
