四字词语成语翻译 1.首先说直译，对应到四字词组翻译可以简单的说是对四字词组进行逐个字词的翻译。 例子你有了决心要研究一个问题，自然会撙衣节食去买书，自然会想出法子来设置仪器。 As long as you set your mind on studies, you will naturally cut down on food and clothing to buy books or do everything possible to acquire necessary instruments. 分析:“撙衣节食”即“省吃省用”本句中使用了直译的方法。也可以意译为live frugally，但我们发现意译就没有直译那么生动形象。 .那年冬天，祖母死了，付清的差事也交卸了，正是祸不单行的日子，我从北京到徐州，打算跟着父亲奔丧回家。 Misfortunes never come single. In the winter of more than two years ago, grandma died and father lost his job. I left Beijing for Xuzhou to join father in hastening home to attend grandma’s funeral. 2.意译：指根据原文的大意来翻译，不作逐字逐句的翻译 例子 近几年来，父亲和我都是东奔西走，家中光景是一年不如一年。 In recent years, both father and l have been living an unsettled life and the circumstances of our family going from bad to worse. 分析：“东奔西走”显然不能安字面直译，要根据语境进行意译，东奔西走即为生活不稳定，所以意译为living an unsettled life 十分符合作者原本表达的意思。 但是在执行上，最容易斗气见效的信贷、土地供应、打击囤积......往往更容易得到政府的青睐，而能够一劳永逸解决名声之痛的保障性住房，则被忽视。 Offering credit, supplying land and attacking speculation are the easiest and quickest way to see the results and they will often also curry favor with government. But what has been overlooked or undervalued is affordable housing which can make things right once and for all and alleviate much of the pain people fell. 我是半路出家，可能干不好这工作。 I have not received regular training for the job, so I may not do it well. 分析：“半路出家”即对该工作不是很熟练 3. 选择词组中的两个字进行翻译，或两两翻译 例子同时，要在产业结构调整、自主创新、节能减排等方面取得新的进展 China will make further progress in industrial restructuring，innovation， energy conservation，and emissions reduction. 分析：＂自主创新＂这个词，创新，自然是自己去创新，所以不用说自主，可以翻译成＂innovation .我掩面叹息，但是新来的日子的影儿又开始在叹息里闪过了。 I bury my face in my hands and heave a sigh. But the new day begins to flash past in the sigh. 分析：“掩面叹息”可以先翻译“掩面”bury my face in my hands，再翻译“叹息”heave a sigh，最后再用连词and连接即可。 4. 用相关、对应的英语习语 “十之八九”若直译为“in eight or nine cases out of ten”,译文便失去了原文简洁的风格，而意译为“most likely”又失去了原文的比喻色彩；借用英语习语“ten to one”既保留了原文的风格和喻体，又能使读者欣然接受，达到了译文与原文间的意义相符，功能相似的翻译要求。 4. 熟记中文中谚语的翻译 例如：塞翁失马，焉知非福【直译】When the old man o
