有没有英语小故事(有中文翻译)英语谚语
1. 人山人海:在诗词用语(poetic expression)里,老外也有使用:'a (the) sea of faces',颇有咱的'人山人海'的味道。例如:Looking out upon the sea of faces, Mr. A delivered a touching speech.(望着一片人山人海的听众,A先生发表一篇动人的演说。)Standing at his podium, President Clinton saw a sea of faces waving at him.(克林顿总统站在讲台上看到人山人海的人群挥手向他致意。)。可见,说话者通常要在台上或高处,才有'人海'的感觉。因此,可以说:'I saw a sea of faces from the top of the building. '但在平地的人群中,就不说:'I saw the sea of faces.'也不说:'There is a sea of faces.'只说:'I saw a large crowd of people.'2、家家有本难念的经:有人译成:'Every family cooking - pot has a black spot.'(意思是:每个家庭的锅子都有黑色的污点。)这样说法,老外恐怕不能充分了解。不过老外最常的说法是:'Many families have skeletons in the closet.(许多家庭的衣柜里都有骨骸,骨骸就是指家丑。)';或者说:'Every family has its own source of shame.(每个家庭都有自己的丑事)';说白些,就是:'Every family has its own problem.'3、天下无不散的宴席:有人直译为:'There are no feasts in the world which do not break up at last.'老外听后,也许很难体会其中意义。如果按照美语说法,也许更易理解:'All good things come to an end.'(意思是:所有好的事情,总有结束的一天。);假如是指好友最后也有分别的一天,那么可以说:'Eventually, all bosom friends will drift apart.' (bosom friend是指知心的好友)4、平时不烧香,临时抱佛脚:有人照字直译为:'When times are easy, we do not burn the incense,but when the trouble comes, we embrace the feet of the uddha.' 这种说法,老外也会一知半解。美语里一般说法是:'WorshipGod every day; not just in times of adversity.(要每天敬拜神,不是只在困难时。)';对学生也可以说:'If you study hard every day, exams will not seem overwhelming.(如果你每天用功,考试就不会形成压力。)'5、挂羊头,卖狗肉:有人照字直译为:'He advertises mutton, but sells dog's flesh.'或'He hangs up a sheep's head at the shopfront and sells dog meat.'这两种译法,恐怕老外都难理解,尤其谈到'狗肉',他们更会反感,因为狗是他们最爱的宠物,不过老外倒有相近的说法:'He applied t-and-switch factics in business.(他经商的策略是先引诱顾客来,再改变货物的品质。)','Bait-and-switch'当名词用,也可不用连字号'This store uses t and switch policy.'或者简单的说:'Let the buyer be aware!(让消费者提高警觉)'或'Say one thing and do another.'希望能对你有帮助,记得采纳我的答案哦~!
英语谚语的小故事
Plug one's ears while stealing a bell(掩耳盗铃)完整的英语,后面有中文意思:)~ In the Spring and Autumn period, a thief had stolen a bell and intended to carry it away on his back, but the bell was too bulky and heavy to be carried, so he tried to break it into pieces with a hammer to make it easier for carrying. On his first hit, however, the bell made a loud noise. He thus feared that the ringing sound might be heard by someone, who would come to rob him of his bell. His fright made him plug his own ears, while hitting the bell with the hammer. The bell sound was, nevertheless, audible to others and therefore to stuff his ears for the purpose of stealing a bell was a stupid action it is as foolish as burying one's head in the sand. from Huai Nanzi(淮南子著) 掩耳盗铃 在春秋战国时期,有一个小偷偷了一只钟。他准备把钟扛在背上带走。可是钟又大又沉,很难扛走。因此他想用锤子把钟敲成碎片,这样运起来就能多了。可是,他敲了一下,那只钟发出巨大的响声。他怕别人听到了钟声会来抢他的钟,于是他在锤子敲钟时捂上了自己的耳朵。不过,即使他这样做,别人还是听得到钟声的。所以掩耳盗铃是非常愚蠢的行为,就像把头埋在沙子中一样。(淮南子著)
