1.Differencesofcomparison(比喻)中國人常慣用成語“雨后春筍”來形容普通事物快速發(fā)展和大量涌現(xiàn)。英語則用justlikemushroom(如同蘑菇一樣眾多)來形容一樣意思。竹子不是英國土生土長植物，甚至連bamboo(竹)這個詞也是引進(jìn)外來語。所以，英國人不可能以竹筍作成語形象來比喻。4/34E.g.Killthegoosethatlaysthegoldeneggs.殺雞取蛋。Lookforaneedleinahaystack.大海撈針。Likearatinahole.甕中之鱉。Nosmokewithoutfire.無風(fēng)不起浪。Agoodconscienceisasoftpillow.日間不做虧心事，夜半敲門心不驚。Neitherfishnorfowl.非驢非馬。5/342.Differencesofcustom(風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣)狗對于英國人來說，既能夠用來看門或打獵，也可視作人伴侶和愛物。所以英國人對狗普通有好感，慣用來比喻人生活。E.g.：dogone’ssteps跟某人走luckydog幸運(yùn)兒Loveme,lovemydog.愛屋及烏。Everydoghashisday.凡人皆有得意日子。不過，dog受外來文化影響，有時也含有貶義。比如：Heisinthedoghouse.他名聲掃地了。Hewasabitofadoginhisyoungerdays.他年輕時過著花天酒地生活。6/34中國民間即使有養(yǎng)狗習(xí)慣，但普通在心理上卻厭惡藐視這種動物，慣用來形容和比喻壞人壞事。E.g.：狗膽包天monstrousaudacity狗急跳墻。Acorneredbeastwilldosomethingdesperate.狗嘴里吐不出象牙。Afilthymouthcan’tutterdecentlanguage.7/34直譯Literaltranslation意譯freetranslation套譯equivalenttranslationMeansoftranslationoftheidioms8/341.Literaltranslation直譯法指在不違反譯文語言規(guī)范以及不引發(fā)錯誤聯(lián)想條件下，在譯文中保留英語比喻、形象和民族及地方色彩方法。比如：showone’scards攤牌armedtotheteeth武裝到牙齒awolfinsheep’sclothing披著羊皮狼Bloodisthickerthanwater.血濃于水。Arollingstonegathersnomoss.滾石不生苔。Helaughsbestwholaughslast.誰笑在最終，誰笑得最好。9/34I.Literaltranslationstrikewhiletheironishotflowingpastinanendlessstreamtoservelikeadogorahorseaseasyasturningoverone’shandtorackone’sbrainwallshaveearsthestyleisthemancastleintheair趁熱打鐵川流不息犬馬之勞易如反掌絞盡腦汁隔墻有耳文如其人空中樓閣10/34I.Literaltranslationopenthedoortoadangerousfoeaboveaveragebeshamedintoangermisfortunesnevercomesingleaheartofstonefightagainstone’sownmenknowlikethebackofone’shandone’shairstandonend引狼入室出類拔萃惱羞成怒禍不單行鐵石心腸同室操戈了如指掌毛骨悚然11/342.Freetranslation在不可能或沒有必要用直譯法保留英語成語表示形式，而且也找不到對應(yīng)漢語成語以套用時，就能夠配合上下文進(jìn)行意譯，以確保原作思想內(nèi)容完整性。E.G.：abedofroses安樂窩playagoodgame手法高明atallhazards孤注一擲carryone’sheadhigh趾高氣揚(yáng)raincatsanddogs下傾盆大雨playone’slastcard采取最終伎倆Don’tcrossthebridgetillyougettoit.無須擔(dān)心過早。12/346.Keepadogandbarkoneself.家有傭人而自己干活；做自己下屬應(yīng)做工作。7.Oneman’smeatisanotherman’spoison.對甲有利未必對乙也有利。8.Letsleepingdogslie.勿惹麻煩。9.Letthingsslide.順其自然。10.Lieshaveshortlegs.謊言是站不住腳。13/343.EquivalenttranslationEquivalencecanbesaidtobethecentralissueintranslationalthoughitsdefinition,relevance,andapplicabilitywithinthefieldoftranslationtheoryhavecausedheatedcontroversy,andmanydifferenttheoriesoftheconceptofequivalencehavebeenelaboratedwithinthisfieldinthepastfiftyyears.套譯就是直接用漢語中一些相對應(yīng)習(xí)語翻譯英語習(xí)語。在很多情況下，英語習(xí)語在漢語中都能夠找到在形象上、意義上和文化內(nèi)涵上都對應(yīng)對等語。這種方法是最理想譯法。14/34II.
