第四章 谚语的翻译 一 谚语的定义和特征 在群众中间流传的固定词句，用简单通俗的话反映出深刻的道理。 谚语就是对各种生活现象进行综合概括并在群众广泛流传运用的语言，反映了各民族文化的精髓。 语言既是文化的载体又是文化的写照。作为记录人类历史和人类思想的工具，谚语能反映出使用该语言民族的社会文化、自然环境、生产劳动、宗教信仰和思维方式等等。 谚语现象生动、言简意赅、民族性鲜明。 二 谚语翻译方法 （一）同义谚语借用法 同义谚语借用法就是运用相同意思的谚语互相翻译的方法。 1.眼不见，心不念。 Out of sight, out of mind. 2.谋事在人，成事在天。 Man proposes, God disposes. 3.自助者，天助之。 God helps those who help themselve. 4.无风不起浪。 There is no smoke without fire. 5.新官上任三把火。 New brooms sweep clean. 6.己所不欲，勿施于人。 Do not do to others as you would not be done by. 7.入乡随俗。 Do in Rome as the Romans do. 8.平时不烧香，急时抱佛脚。 Worship God every day, not just in time of adversity. 9.英雄所见略同。 Great minds think alike. 10.为人不做亏心事，夜半敲门人不惊。 A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder. 11.近朱者赤，近墨者黑。 Touch pitch and you will be defiled. 12.祸不单行。 Misfortune never comes singly. 13.人要衣装，佛要金装。 Fine feathers make fine birds. 14.天下没有不散的宴席。 All good things must come to an end. 15.鹬蚌相争，渔翁得利。 Two dogs for a bone, and the third runs away with it. （二）直译法 直译法指在翻译时既传达源语思想内容，又保留源语的语言形式，包括词、句子结构和比喻手段。 1.一寸光阴一寸金。 An inch of time is an inch of gold. 2.路遥知马力，日久见人心。 As a long road tests a horse’s strength, so a long task proves a person’s heart. 3.留得青山在，不怕没柴烧。 As long as green hills remain, there will never be a shortage of firewood. 4.三人行，必有我师。 When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers. 5.国家兴亡，匹夫有责。 Every people is responsible for the rise and fall of his country. （三）意译法 意译法就是在翻译时只传达源语思想内容而忽略其语言形式。 1.塞翁失马，焉知非福？ A loss may turn out to be a gain. 2.狗觜吐不出象牙。 A filthy mouth cannot utter decent language. 3.祸从口出。 Careless talk leads to trouble. 4.天有不测风云。 Something unexpected may happen any time. （四）直译和意译兼用 1.一个碗不响，两个碗叮当。 One bowl is quiet, two bowls make a row. 2.司马昭之心，路人皆知。 Sima Zhao’s ill intent is known to all, the villain’s design is obvious. 3.话不投机半句多。 When the conversation gets disagreeable, to say one word more is a wast of breath. 4.跳进黄河洗不清。 Even if one jumped into the Yellow River, one cannot wash oneself clean--- there’s nothing on
