英文经典谚语(俗语)30例详解

老外平时除使用许多俚语(slang)外,也常夹些格言(adage)、俗语(proverb)、引语(quotation)、警句(saying)或是众所周知的道理(truism)。这些玩儿,也与中文里不少的格言或俗语等意义相近。使用起来,颇有「异曲同工」之妙。

1.Like attracts(或draws)like. 意思是:相同的人吸引相同的人。(like 指similar people)这与另一句谬语「Birds of a feather flock together.」(相同羽毛的鸟在一起)意义相似。(a=same)也就是咱们常说的「物以类聚」或「同声相应,同气相求」。

2.(Too much) familiarity breeds contempt. 意思是说:相处过於亲密,就会产生侮慢之心(不尊重)(即low opinion)(breed = create)这句话又与另一句俗语「Too thick does not stick.」(太稠或太浓反而黏不住)意思相近。也就是说:「closeness brings disagreement.」(亲不敬,熟生蔑); 就是劝人:「君子之交淡如水」或「保持距离,以策安全」。

3.Once bitten(或bit),twice shy. 就是说:一次被咬,下次胆小。或是一次上当,下次小心。(shy = avoid)动词时态:bite, bit, bitten(或bit)这又与另一句俗语「A burnt child fears(或dreads)the fire.」(被灼伤的小孩怕火)相似。说白些,就是:When you have bad experience, you don't want to have the same experience again. 这不就是「一朝被蛇咬,见绳也心惊」或「一日被蛇咬,十年怕草绳」吗?

4.A stitch in time save nine. 意思是:「一针及时省九针」。也是「一针不补,十针难缝」或「小洞不补,大洞叫苦」的味道。这句警语与「An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.」(一分的预防,胜於十分的治疗)意义相近。此外,还有:「Don't wait for a rainy day to fix the roof.(不要等到下雨时才去修补屋顶); 或「Always prepare for a rainy day.」或「Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.」(做最坏的打算和最好的希望)这些警语,说的都是「未雨绸缪」。

5.Old habits die hard. 意思是说:改掉老习惯很不容易。「It is difficult to break an old habit.」这与另一句谚语:「You can not teach an old dog new tricks.」(你不能教老狗新把戏)。这就是所谓「江山易改,本性难移」。

6.Absence makes the heart grow fonder. 意思是:一个人不在时,使人内心更想念。

「When a person is absent, we may think of him/her more often.」与「久别情深」、「眼不见,心更念」、「人去情渐深」,或是「一日不见如隔三秋」的意味相近。

7.A penny saved is a penny earned. 据说这是Ben Franklin 的引语。照字面意义是:能存一分钱,就是赚了一分钱。後来有人改口说:Take care of your pennies(=pence)and the pounds (=dollars)will take care of themselves. 说白些,就是:If you save small amount of money, you will eventually have a large sum of money. 就是中国人所谓「积少成多,集腋成裘」。(这句话也可指小事谨慎,大事自成。)

8.When in Rome, do as the Romans do.意思是说:当在罗马时,就照罗马人的(生活)方式去

做。所以有人也改口说:When in America, do as the Americans do. 就是「入国问禁,入乡随俗。」

9.What is done cannot be undone.意思是:做过的事,不能再还原。(动词时态:undo, undid, undone)。

这与另一句谚语「Don't cry over spilt milk.」或「It is no use crying over spilt milk.」意义相似。也就是说:What is done is done或What has taken place, nothing can be done about it.(take place=happen)就是「覆水难收」、「往者已矣」。

10.Don't(或Never)cross a bridge till(或until)you come to it. 照字面的意义是:不等到桥边,就不必过桥。也有人说:We have to go across the bridge when we come to it. (it 指桥;bridge也指问题或困难),换句话说:不必为将来顾虑太多「Don't worry too much in advance.」劝人当问题出现时再设法解决不迟。「You have to face the problem or difficulty when the time comes.」这与所谓「船到桥头自然直」,颇有相似之处。

11.All good things must come to an end. 意思是说:一切好事,总会结束的。也就像咱们所谓「天下没有不散的宴席」或「好景无常」。换句话说:人生的道路是崎岖不平的(Life is bumpy.)或(Road bumps in our life.)但也不必悲观,生命也有光明的一面(There is light at the end of the tunnel.)

12.Beauty is but (=only) skin-deep. 意思是:美貌只是一层皮或外表的美是肤浅、短暂的。「Beauty is just as deep as skin.」这与其他两句格言:「Don't judge a book by its cover.」(评价一本书不是只看书的包装)「Appearances are deceiving.」(外表是骗人的)意义相近,所以唯有内在的品格才是永久的重要的,(Personality Counts),不可以貌取人,否则就成为所谓的「绣花枕头」了。

13.What goes around comes around. 意思是:你的所做所为,也会得到报应的。「What comes out of you will return to you.」这句话有些迷信(superstition) ,像「十年河东,十年河西,风水轮著转」。不过老外所指的「因果报应」,多半是指「恶报」。(注意:不是What comes around goes around.)

14.Money talks. 这句话「钱会说话」或「金钱最有发言权」。

也有人後面加上一句:It(money)talks all languages.(它会说多种语言),也就是说:money is power. 或是说:Money makes the man. If you have money, even a fool is a master.(金钱改变一个人,假如你有钱,即使是傻瓜,也会变成主人。)这些谚语,与咱们所说的「金钱万能」、「钱可通神」或「有钱能使鬼推磨」的古老观念,意义相近。(现代许多人倒认为「钱不是一切」)「money is not everything.」

15.Nice guys finish last. 意思是:好人吃亏。(guy=person)这与另一句谚语相似:

Nice(honest)people get short end of stick.(get short end of stick=not treated fairly); 也有老外说:

(You)never give a sucker an even break.(你从不给老实人公平待遇)(even break=fair dial;sucker是指老实或易受骗的人),就是「好人受欺」。

16. A small spark makes a great fire. 这与另一句警语:「It takes one small spark to start a forest fire.」意义相同。也就是我们所说的「星星之火,可以燎原」。其实也可以说是:A trifle may, often cause great disaster.(小事也会引起大灾难)。

17. Out of sight, out of mind!意思是:看不见,心就不会想(烦恼)。也就是咱们所谓「眼不见为净」。也有人说是:「Long absent, soon forgotten」或「Seldom seen, soon forgotten.」「见得少,忘得快」或是「时间会冲淡感情」。说白些,就是:If you don't see it, you just forget about it.

18. Treat others as you want to be treated. 意思是说:你想别人怎样对待你,你就要怎样对待别人。或者说:Treat others as you want others to treat you,也可以说:Do unto others as you would have others(them)do unto you.(unto 是古体的介系词=to)这与咱们所说的「己所不欲,勿施於人」意思相似。

19. There is no place like home. 意思是:没有一个地方像自己的家那么好。还有其他说法:East, West, home is best或Home, sweet home!或是No place is as desirable as home. 这就像中国人所说的「金窝银窝,不如自己的狗窝。」(home是指经过装饰过而有人住的温暖的家,而house可能只是空空没人住过的房子)

20. Actions speak louder than words. 照字面意思是:行动比言语更响亮(有效)。换句话说:采取行动要比高谈阔论好(It is better to take action than just to talk about it.)即「事实胜於雄辩」。

21. The pot calls(或calling)the kettle black. 意思是:锅嫌水壶黑。此外,还有类似的谚语:All cats are(或look)black(或gray)in the dark.或者We are in the same boat.也就是说:大家彼此彼此(We are all equal或We are in the same situation。就像「五十步笑百步」或「乌鸦笑猪黑」。

22. Champagne tastes on a beer budget. 意思是说:只有喝啤酒的预算,却有喝香槟酒的爱好。也就是指一些人花钱超出自己的能力。(Some people spend more money than they can afford.)或Some people live beyond their means.这不就是「打肿脸充胖子」吗?

23. It never rains, but it pours. 照字面意思:不是微微细雨,而是大雨倾盆。也就是说:坏事接二连三的降临(The bad thing come in succession.) 这与咱们所谓的「祸不单行」或「屋漏偏逢连夜雨,船破又逢对头风」意思相似。

24. One picture is worth a thousand words. 意思是:一张画(或照片)胜过一千字的描写。如同中国人所说的「百闻不如一见」。(Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.) (注意:Words are worth a thousands pictures.,又是指一篇文章描写得十分生动)

25. A slip of tongue cannot be recalled.意思是:(不小心)说漏了嘴,是收不回来的。或者说:One word once let go can not be recalled. 这都是劝人说话要谨慎负责。即「一言既出,驷马难追」。

26. You cannot make filet mignon out of chopped liver. 意思是:你不能从品质差的肉,制造品质高的肉。

filet mignon 是法国小牛排,是high quality of meat ,而chopped liver 是指品质差的肉,这里的liver 未必是动物的肝脏,说白些,就是:Something with good quality can not be made with cheap material. 这与咱们所说的「朽木不可雕也」,颇有相似。

27. a chip off (或of)the old block. 照字面说:木头中的一个碎片。这与另外两句谚语相似:「Like father, like son.」(相貌性格等酷似父亲的儿子)「As the old cock crows, so crow the young.」(老公鸡在叫,小公鸡也跟著叫)(动词时态:crow, crowed(或crew), crowed)因为孩子多半是模仿父母的(Children generally imitate their parents.)(多半指男性)这就是咱们所谓的「有其父必有其子」。

28. Make hay while the sun shines. 意思是:晒草要趁阳光好。这与另一句「seize the day」(把握今朝)= carpe diem 是拉丁文,意义相近。就是「行事要趁机会好」(make the most of an opportunity)。

29. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. 就是所谓「愚者仓促,智者小心」的意思,劝人不可轻举妄动。(Don't jump without thinking.)

30. Judge not lest ye(=you)be judged.这句话是劝人不可批评别人。(Don't criticize others.)因为你如果批评别人,那么别人也会批评你。(If you criticize others, you'll expect others to criticize you!)

英语谚语俗语翻译

Part One I had only recently seen John in a restaurant. The news of his death came as a bolt from the blue She found the keys she had lost last month, which was like a bolt from the blue A bolt from the blue Meaning:A complete surprise, like a bolt of lightning from a blue sky. Origin:This has the feel of a Shakespearian or Biblical phrase, but it isn't as old as it sounds. There are several forms of it: 'out of the blue', 'a bolt out of the blue', etc. The earliest citation is Thomas Carlyle, in The French Revolution, 1837: "Arrestment, sudden really as a bolt out of the Blue, has hit strange victims."
