中国俗语有趣翻译
中国俗语超有趣的英文翻译 前些天学用新的电脑软件把我累得够呛，我便向办公室同事们抱怨说老狗学不了新招了，一位同事笑说我是用中文讲英语。 教老狗学新招(teach an old dog new tricks)这样的说法我觉得其实根本不 用解释，有想象力的人都能明白，用来解闷再自然不过。 况且，以狗喻人在中文里的俗语也不少，譬如狗改不了吃屎，寓意真需要人解释才明白吗？ 这个俗语至今倒还没有听过人以贴切的英语表述，我一下也捉摸不出恰如其分的办法来说它，欢迎你做尝试。 不过中国人发明的另一个借狗讽人的词倒已有前人引入英语。 走狗 用“走狗”来描绘有权势者的帮凶在中国至少可以追溯到清朝孔尚任的《桃花扇》：“正排着低品走狗奴才队，都做了高洁清风大英雄。” 蒲松龄在《聊斋志异》里也有一句“操杖隶皆绅家走狗”。 这个词有人考证在1937年首次介绍到英文里来，但转换过程中不知为何加快了狗的步伐，从走改作跑，叫running dog。 犹如男扮女装 想一想，这种语言的反串同男扮女装或女扮男装有点相似。功夫好，环境对，能让人感觉耳目一新，至少可以轻松笑笑，弄好了甚至能帮助人刷新眼界，刺激思考。 和男女反串一样，许多人心里对它或多或少还是不能完全接受，至少在英国如此，觉得这种行为不守道德规范，男不男，女不女，不太像话。 但对赞同者来说，这样做的一个刺激恐怕也就恰恰在于它是越轨行为。 纸老虎 纸老虎这个中国说法传到英语里来，现在即便不说人人皆知，流行也颇广泛。在我手边的《简明牛津字典》的老虎一栏的十几行注释里，它在第三行就已经出现了。 纸老虎用来比喻外表强大但实际上空虚无力，至少可以追溯到《水浒传》第25回：“急上场时，便没些用，见个纸虎，也吓一交。”

中文俗语翻译
1.但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。
We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart. 2.独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。 A lonely stranger in a strange land I am cast, I miss my family all the more on every festive day. 3.大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。 The endless river eastward flows; with its huge waves are gone all those gallant heroes of bygone years. 4.二人同心，其利断金。 If two people are of the same mind, their sharpness can cut through metal. 5.富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移，威武不能曲，此之谓大丈夫。 It is a true great man whom no money and rank can confuse, no poverty and hardship can shake, and no power and force can suffocate. 6.海内存知己，天涯若比邻。 A bosom friend afar brings distance near. 7.合抱之木，生于毫末，九层之台，起于累土；千里之行始于足下。 A huge tree that fills one’s arms grows from a tiny seedling; a nine-storied tower rises from a heap of earth; a thousand li journey starts with the first step. 8.祸兮，福之所依；福兮，祸之所伏。 Misfortune, that is where happiness depends; happiness, that is where misfortune underlies. 9.见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也。 On seeing a man of virtue, try to become his equal; on seeing a man without virtue, examine yourself not to have the same defects. 10.江山如此多娇，引无数英雄尽折腰。 This land so rich in beauty has made countless heroes bow in homage. 11.举头望明月，低头思故乡。 Raising my head, I see the moon so bright; withdrawing my eyes, my nostalgia comes around. 12.俱往矣，数风流人物，还看今朝。 All are past and gone; we look to this age for truly great men. 13.君子成人之美，不成人之恶。 The gentleman helps others to achieve their moral perfection but not their evil conduct. 14.君子独立不惭于影，独寝不愧于魂。 A righteous man never feels ashamed to face his shadow when standing alone and to face his soul when sleeping alone. 15.君子之交淡如水，小人之交甘如醴。君子淡以亲，小人甘以绝。 The friendship between men of virtue is light like water, yet affectionate; the friendship between men without virtue is sweet like wine, yet easily broken.
