有两则关于同一条英语谚语Blood is thicker than water的译例。其一是“清水不浓血却浓”，其二是“血浓于水”。从字面上看，上述两则译例译得固然不错，似无可厚非。译文读起来很顺，又比较易懂，但读后似有不知所云之感。

这是因为译文的形象没能准确地传达出这条谚语的喻义来。

Longman Dictionary of English Idioms（p.28）上对这条谚语的解释是“The relationship between people of the same family is stronger than other，relationships”因此，这则谚语似可以借用汉语中一句俗语“亲不亲一家人”来译更能表达出“属于同一血缘关系的一家人比别人更亲近一些”的寓意。

语言是文化的表现形式。谚语同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华。英语谚语是富于色彩的语言形式，一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上，英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此，翻译英语谚语时，仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性（等价性）为前提，寻求对等的表现是不够的。译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段，力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言内涵色彩，才能使译文讽喻得当，宜于说理，又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。

某些英语谚语和汉语成语、俗语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。汉译这些英语时，可惜用与其喻义相同或相近的成语或谚语及俗语直接对译。这样不但可以比较好地保持原文的神韵和形式，又使译文易于为读者或听者接受。如：

Pride comes before a fall．骄兵必败。

Amiss is as good as a mile.差之毫厘，失之千里。

Two is company，but three is none.两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚无水吃。

Walls have ear.隔墙有耳。

Enough is as good as a feast．知足常乐。

有些英语谚语虽然在语言习惯和文化背景方面和其相对的汉语谚语之间存在着某些差异，而且所比喻的事物并不一样，但他们的喻义却相互吻合，而且表达方式也很相似，汉译这些英语谚语时，常常需要“易其形式，存其精神”，即采用形象近似的汉语成语意译。这样可使译文既喻义明显，又含而不露，且可再现原文所具有的语言效果，容易达意。如：

Two can play the game.孤掌难鸣。

Newbroom sweeps clean.新官上任三把火。

Speak of the devil，and he appears.说曹操，曹操到。

The grass is greener on the other side of the hill．这山望着那山高。

Putting the cart before the horse.本末倒置。

有些英语谚语意在言外，语言含蓄，寓意深刻。如果仅从字面意义直译成汉语，而不领会原文的具体含义及其效果，译文势必平淡无味。这样既不能表达意思，又有损于原文的语言形象和丰富内涵。因此，在翻译时，应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻义相同或效果相似的成语、谚语或俗语来表达，则会使译文形象生动，准确达意。试比较下列各译例。

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.如译成“住在玻璃房子里的人，不应扔石头”不如译成“己有过，勿正人”或“责人必先责己”。

In fair weather prepare for the foul．如译成“晴天要防阴天”，不如译成“有备无患”或“居安思危”或“未雨绸缪”。

Murder will out．如译成“谋杀终必败露”，不如译成“纸包不住火”。

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread．如译成“愚者敢闯天使不敢去的地方”，不如译成“初生牛犊不怕虎”。

One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.如译成“想吃煎蛋卷，就得打鸡蛋”，不如译成工“有得必有失”或甚至可以引申为“不破不立”。

如果所要翻译的谚语喻义清新，形象逼真，按其字面直译其意，就能表达出原文的喻义来，则可直译。这样做既能较完整地保存原文的表达方式，且又可丰富我们自己的语言文化，一举两得，请看下面的译例。

God helps those who help themselves.上帝帮助那些自己帮助自己的人。或“自助者天助之”。

Money is the root of all evil．金钱是万恶之源。

An empty sack cannot stand upright．空袋立不直。

Do as you would be done by. 以你所期望的别人待你的方式待人。

这与另一谚语： Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.“己所不欲勿施于人”很相似。

Money talks.钱能通神。

有些英语谚语常常采用对称的修辞手段。使用这一修辞手段的目的在于加强语势，宜于说理，读后有心悦诚眼之感。汉译这些谚语时，应适当注意保持其修辞色彩，以便体现原文的表达方式。如：

You may take a horse to the water， but you can’t make it drink．

如果按字面译成，“你可以把马牵到河边去，但不能叫它饮水”至少是没有充分体现这句谚语本身所具有的强烈对比色彩。从语法分析的观点看，在这个句子里，情态动词may和can虽然都表示“可能”的，但在含义上有所不同。这里may表示“事实上的可能性”，而can则表示“逻辑上的可能性”。并列连词but使前后两个分句意义相反，对比色彩强烈。在这种情况下，译文也必须力求对偶整齐，前后呼应，形成对照。如将此句译作“牵马河边易，逼它饮水难”或“老牛不喝水，不能强按头”会更好些。

总之，即使像谚语这样孤立的语句，翻译时也需尽一番揣摩切磋之功，否则译文就可能与原文“貌合神离”，文不达意。译事艰辛也许正在于此。

Today， I came to the breakfast。 See the lads with chopsticks busy busy。 So

I took a seat， a young man walked to nete over and ask me to eat something， so I

had a bowl of beef noodles peppers。 Soon， a noodles。 I take chopsticks， soon

finished eating。 On the way to school， I also think that bowl noodles

【中文翻译】

这天，我去吃早餐。只见店里的伙计们端着碗筷忙来忙去。于是我找了一个位子坐下了，一位年轻的伙计走了过来，问我要吃点什么，于是我点了一碗青椒牛肉面。很快，一碗面就出来了。我拿起筷子很快地吃完了。在去学校的路上，我还想着那碗好吃的面。

People always say that spring is the most beautiful season. But I don’t

think so. I like summer, autumn even winter better than spring. Because the

weather in spring is changeable. Maybe it is warm today, it will be cold

tomorrow. I often catch a cold in spring. Besides this, it often rains in

spring. I can’t go out to play ball games. I have to stay at home to spend my

time. How boring it is! Some people think the flowers in spring are very

beautiful, but I think the flowers in winter are more beautiful, because they

live through the extremely cold weather and we should learn from them.

春天，是百花盛开的季节，万物复苏；秋天，是瓜果飘香的季节；夏天，虽烈日炎炎，酷暑难耐，可我还是喜欢夏天！

记得暑假开始时，妈妈说：“过暑假了，要合理安排暑假，既要学习，也要会玩。”爸爸说：“过暑假了，要多练偶数，争取参加比赛。”

由于兴趣班比较多，妈妈怕我们会搞错时间，就在日历上做了时间表。什么时候上什么课，一目了然。

偶数班是我一直很喜欢上的，因为课上能得到老师表扬。老师讲课，我很专心地听讲并能有效接受，思路也很清晰，老师还经常让我给大家讲解答思路。两次的考试成绩还不错，因此我学得很开心。

暑假里，我还学了篮球，教练一对一带我，让我懂得许多篮球技巧。当我看到那些人技术非常娴熟时，我内心下定决心，每天下午打一小时篮球，十个俯卧撑。总有一天，我会向他们一样，用一滴滴汗水，塑造一个全新的自我。

暑假里英语还停了两节课，都是因为晚上没睡好，从而生了病。可是那充满活力，充满热情的课堂让我从未忘记。每次上课，我都能获得很多积分。

暑假里，硬笔书法也是一直在上，我们的郝老师教我们隶书。我觉得隶书和楷书都有不同的书写理念。对于我这个学习、书写不行的学生来说，我觉得能写好就行。而妈妈和奶奶都不喜欢隶书，她们还是觉得楷书比较赏心悦目。

别以为我在暑假里光学习了。暑假里也有该享受的电影、k歌、旅游、下棋、钓鱼，手机上的钢琴块游戏、并和小伙伴们一起度过美好时光。我还听了许多好听的曲子，比如贝多芬的《雅典的废墟》、舒伯特的《野玫瑰》、《音乐瞬间》、《步之遥》，肖邦的《小狗圆舞曲》。

暑假里我还学会了在电脑上打字，虽然比较慢，但我会努力，争取一次比一次快。

又一个暑假，又一个五彩缤纷、快乐甜蜜的暑假！我爱夏天，更爱每一次难忘的暑假。

“太好了，我终于可以去看昆办和湘人医的足球比赛了呀！”这可是我欲望已经的了！

我们准备好了水杯就出发了，在去的路上心情可真迫不及待呀，你们呢？经过几十分钟的奔驰，我以愉快的心情跑了进去。“哇，操场好大呀！”我赶紧跑了过去，不顾有没有任何的东西拦在前面，（还好，没有）妈妈在后面说什么我也没有听见。“铃——！”开始口令吹响了，我只好失望地离开赛地。我又找了个看球赛的最佳位置，当裁判说“开始！”我立马认真观看了。“漂亮！”“太好了”“好球！”当昆办进球时，支持者高兴地在欢呼，当湘人医进球时，支持者也如此欢呼，不过我也跟他们一起为赛者们加油打气！

一会儿过后，我坐着不耐烦了，因为他们也在中途休息，我看见旁边有一个足球，抱起足球跟张晨熙弟弟踢起了足球，我一顺风腿功夫三七腿五行六掌腿神龟鱼门剑……直接秒杀六人。在这之间我浪费了难得宝贵金元宝，最后去看时已踢完。

“时间一去不复返”俗话说得好，我真后悔没有认真看足球赛，可是也让我体验了足球的乐趣，也让我懂得了更多知识。

Panda is familiar by more and more people as the development of Internet.

Now people can see the live show from the Internet. These lovely angels are

favored by the fans from all over the world. What they do in the daily life

makes people laugh out loudly. No one can resist the charm from these angels.

But it is known to all that panda is dying out, because it is not easy for them

to get birth to the new babies. What’s more, people damage the environment,

which makes panda lose their home. We can do small things to protect them. When

we go to the zoo, we should not throw away the rubbish and keep quiet, in the

purpose of not to disturb these lovely creature. We love panda, it is our duty

to protect them from dying out.

My name is XXX， is set in Shanghai xx in the language school， is now Chinas Shanghai world expo exhibition center 201x professional docent.

Came to the exhibition center already has a years time， once I am also a demonstration center volunteers， actually I have been as a volunteer herself. Volunteers there is sense of responsibility， has the sense of mission; Thanked， selfless dedication. Work， although some people would say， also get the same salary each month， do more and less alike. But， for the audience to introduce more， every day looking at them look forward to the expos eyes， I can understand this is not a boring thing.

Very honored to be the first anniversary of the opening in the center of the display， I earned for the narrator gold medal. Received in the past year as the kingdom of the Netherlands ministry of economic affairs minister， minister of the ministry of culture of the republic of Mali and nanjing military region is chief heads and yangzhou municipal party committee secretary of the VIP， leadership， etc. But left the deepest impression is of a blind girl， I will let her on her hands every exhibit touch， she is in the heart. When talking about the story of Helen Keller， I clearly see the persistence and light in her eyes... I think this is what I work value.

In work， I also have some disadvantages， such as too impetuous. Once， in the course of the interpretation of a live audience too much or dont follow the order， and easily excited， sometimes even impact on the quality. Therefore I was a good reflection， strive for patience， careful， enthusiastic， in the work， only in this way they can better the expo.

Next year， now my biggest wish is to have a good job in the expo park service， participate in the event， whether as a volunteer or to the identity of the staff. Believe that the 201X on October 31， the evening， China announced to the world that we held a successful， splendid and unforgettable world expo， and I can proudly say: 201X， I am the part of a successful， splendid and unforgettable!

Dear Tom,

I’m so hapy to learn that you want to learn Chinese in Zunyi Teachers’ College here.There is no doubt that to learn Chinese well is by no means an easy thing, but I have some ideas that may help.

Firstly, it is important to listen to the teacher carefully in class and take notes so that you can go over your lessons later.Secondly, try to practise speaking Chinese as much as possible out of class and write down whatever you hear to accunulate more commonly-used words and idioms.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.And try to communicate with local people to develop your listening ability.Last but not least, you should organize your time and do lots of exercise.

I think the most important thing is that you should believe in yourself.I’m sure that you will suceed after your hard work.

Yours,

Wang Hua

Listen to mom and dad said to go skiing, my mind appeared in such a picture: a ski master stood on the cliff and jumped up, turned two somersaults, "whiz", firmly on the ground, and draw a long scar in the snow the snow, like the endless snow in the world of the Milky Way...... WOW! Skiing must be very cool! My heart seems to have come to this world of ice and snow...

Ski finally came to the long-awaited, I can not wait to put on the ski, excitedly started to slip, OH, MYGOD shoes! Good heavy Oh! I found my feet dont listen to them, took tremendous effort also cant do anything.

While I was out on a limb when the distance from the world "a young female coach, wow! Her good light! Later, Ill ask her skiing.

We came to the top of the hillside by the escalator, and looked down from up and down. At this time, there was a man going straight down, very fast. I think he must be a "high hand". He smirked back to us, at this time, a small slope on the ground, he was thrown into the air, and fell down, really dizzy with success!

I began to be afraid. Skiing wasnt easy. The coach seemed to see my mind and said to me, "dont be afraid. Ill grab your ski and you go down slowly." The coach told me some of the action Essentials: squat, knee to buckle...... I suddenly feel that this action is very like a frog jumping movement. The frog is the original ski master! Was thinking when snickered, the coach began to pull my skis down. I hastened to keep the frog movement, and the coach said, "you are so rigid! Relax, relax!" my "dead frog" finally lived.

I found a sense of skiing. When I was happy, the coach released it secretly. I began to worry again, and my heart jumped and jumped up. A small slope appeared in front of me. Would I fall down? The coach encouraged me: "come on, come on! You must do it!" I plucked up the courage to brush across the slope and laughed happily. Then I slipped through a small slope, and my speed was getting faster and faster. There was a feeling of floating. The feeling of skiing was really cool.

I was glad to see a fallen man in front of me blocking my way. I fear, how to do? Yes, in need of emergency brake! But couldnt think brake method of coaching, it was going to hit the brakes, suddenly remembered the essentials: feet slowly turn in splayed out sideways, brake! Just a bit, I stopped the brake!!! It was Joseph, a red "tomato flesh" rushed down, heavily knocked me, my ass hurts oh!

The skiing was finished unwittingly, and I really looked forward to the next skiing!

English is one of my best subjects and I started learning English when I

was ten years old. But at the very beginning, listening seemed a little

difficult for me. So I have been doing a lot of listening practice, such as

listening to tapes, watching English TV programs. And I found it really helped a

lot. In fact, there are some more helpful ways to learn English well. For

example, I enjoy singing English songs and I want to join an English club or

find a pen pal from English-speaking countries. I believe that nothing is

impossible if you put your heart into it。

Cathy,

My dear friend. How is it going? And your family? oh,I really miss you! Mrs Wu is fine too.How do you think your new teacher? Is she or he very kind? And your classmates? Are they friendly to you? Our classmates are miss you too. Cathy, Do you know? I have a new English name, Katrina. How about this name? I like it very much.

Oh,my god! I am very busy now. I have too much homework. I must do it every day. And I have to go to school on Saturday! Oh!yuck! I m very angry and tired. Do you have any English books?I want to read. Because I love English.I am crazy about practicing English.Because English is an international language,all nations are starting lern English now.And you? Do you love English? Ok,I want to sleep. Good bye!

10月2号那天，妈妈让我和哥哥骑车上集理发。

哥哥在前面骑，我在后面追。一不小心自行车压到一块小石头上我的车子就歪倒了。扶起车子拍拍灰尘继续骑，刚骑没多远，对面来了辆摩托车，为了让摩托车方向一偏，摔在路边停的轿车上，摔下来时把轿车的油漆刮掉一些。这时走过来一个阿姨把我自行车要往后备箱里放，我就一直不松手。哥哥过来和阿姨说了很多好话可她还是不放我们走，让我们叫家长过来赔钱。

不一会儿，大姑骑个车过来了，连忙道歉。阿姨说需要赔300元钱。大姑说：“小孩子又不是故意的。”说着说着来了一个叔叔，叔叔说：“100元好了”。阿姨也只能同意。给了100元后自己也吓得不敢骑车了，推着车子去理发店理发了。

回来后妈妈并没有骂我，只说了句：“以后骑车一定要小心了！”

[小学英文作文：自我介绍

龙虾，你一定见过，吃过吧。它那威武雄壮的模样，和那两根又粗又长的触须，顿使我们联想起大海，我想大海一定是它的家。

然而我错了！

今年五一节，我又来到了方坞的表哥家。表哥说他们村的后山的水塘里有龙虾，呆会儿去钓龙虾。我听了他的话，几乎笑弯了腰，我说：“你开什么玩笑，大海的儿子龙虾竟然降临到了你们这山村来了？无稽之谈，无稽之谈！”可是表哥一本正经地严肃地说：“这是真的。”表哥从来老实，不苟言笑，这下真把我搞糊涂了。

表哥找出一卷尼龙线，一个塑料盆。说：“走，我们钓龙虾去。”我将信将疑，跟在他身后，走在乡间小路上。几个迂回，终于到了目的地——一个浅浅的小水塘。我看着那黄黄的塘水不禁脱口而出：“表哥，龙虾就长此地？”

表哥理也不理我，只见他低下头，在草丛间东张西望，忽然猛扑了上去，竟然抓住了一只田鸡。表哥麻利地用尼龙绳将它牢牢捆住，递给我：“行了，这就是诱饵，你只要放入水中，龙虾就会来吃。”我说我不会。表哥一手抓住线的末端，一手抓住田鸡并把它扔到塘水中。过了好一会儿，表哥开始慢慢地收线了，慢慢地慢慢地，快拉到岸边的时候，一提，上来了——一只又肥又胖的大龙虾上来了：馋嘴的龙虾的嘴还紧紧地咬着田鸡，惟恐丢了！

我看得呆了！嚷着也要钓龙虾！表哥自然很乐意教我，给我讲解了钓龙虾的要领。我学着表哥的样子，也有模有样地钓起了龙虾。嗨！龙虾咬线了！我第一次出马，竟然成功了！可是，老天就喜欢作弄人，接下来的几次，我屡屡失手。有一回，眼看龙虾上钩了，一高兴，脚底一滑，差点冲到水塘里呢。表哥见了，哈哈大笑！

龙虾，龙虾，原来出自于水塘！这是这个五一节中我最大的收获。好一个阳光灿烂、快乐充实的假日啊！

The summer vacation had come round again. I was happy that I could forget

about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer

vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it. First, I thought I should go over

all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a

better understanding of them. Then I thought I should take up some forms of

exercise, such as walking, running and rowing, to keep me physically strong. It

stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation

time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.

Dear Prof Herthwell，

亲爱的Herthwell教授：

Many thanks for your kind hospitality and the honor you showed me during

our delegation’s recent visit to your university。 It was nice of you to

introduce me to so many famous professors and celebrated scholars at your

university。 We had a safe and sound trip home。 Now we have resumed our work。

十分感谢你的盛情款待，以及在你在我们的代表团最近访问你的大学时对我们的尊敬。多谢你把我介绍给那么多您大学里的知名教授和著名的学者。我们已经平安愉悦得回到家了。此刻，我们继续我们的工作了。

Meanwhile， I hope you will someday pay a short visit to our university and

give us some lectures on “Modern Western Economics”。

同时，我期望有一天你能够对我校进行一个短暂的访问并给我们开一些关于“现代西方经济学”的讲座。

Please have no hesitation in writing to me if you want me to do something

for you in China。

如果你要我为你在中国做些事情，请不要犹豫，写信给我。

Best wishes，

Today is March Womens Day,I want to do several things to help his mother,let her have a happy holiday.

At noon,I came home and found the table already filled with delicious food,but just could not see her mother.Suddenly,I heard a sound of laundry to the laundry and saw the stage,my mother was washing clothes.I said:"Mom,you go to eat,Ill wash.Because today is your holiday,I want to make you happy." "Are you okay?" Mom asked,smiling."OK," I said.Mom went to eat doubtfully.

I picked up the sleeves,took out a piece of clothing,wet with blisters,and then cast soap,then rub hard.Yeah rub rub,rub my hands are red,but there are still a little greasy clothes,do not rub clean.I had to rinse with a brush,then rinse well with water and the clothes clean.I washed some clothes,my mother came,looked at me hard to look like,my mother smiles,so happy,so happy.

Evening,I rush to help her mother wash the dishes,I washed dishes placed neatly.Mother looked,smiled and said:"So this is Yao Yao gave me holiday gift!" Although I am more tired than usual today,but I am very happy because I let my mother had a happy holiday season.

21 June 2006

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your last letter. Im so glad that you have been able (at last! ) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I wont be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.

There is a bus from the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.

To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.

When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.

Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window.

Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Annie

P.S. I will leave something for breakfast in the fridge. Help yourself to anything you want.

Useful Expressions:

Here are some instructions and suggestions.

May I suggest that we meet at the gate of the university?

Id like to suggest you should visit London for at least two days on your way to Scotland.

Considering your present situation, I propose that you should apply for the post.

What I want to suggest is ...

My suggestion is that. . .

If you. .. , you had better. . .
