十个最常用的英语习语

英语习语知多少:十个最常用的英语习语 某天,朋友跟一个老外说起自己刚分手的女友,对方看他难过,拍了拍他的肩膀对他说:“Don't worry about it man, girls like that are a dime a dozen!” 后来朋友跟我说起这件事仍然愤愤不平,说老外把她女友说成只值一块二毛钱! 其实,“dime a dozen”跟“一块二毛钱”没有半毛钱关系。它是一句常见的英语习语,指的是something that is common and easy to obtain(天涯何处无芳草)。 和中文的成语一样,英文中也有数量众多的idioms,如果望文生义,可能就会产生交流中的误会。 话不多说,下面我们就一起来看看英文中最常用、最有趣的十个习语: 1. Piece of cake 例句:The assignment I just finished was a piece of cake. 这个例句说的并不是我刚完成的作业是烤一块蛋糕,而是指作业非常简单,a piece of cake就是指轻而易举的事。 2. Cost an arm and a leg 例句:That Louis Vuitton bag costs me an arm and a leg. 如果在LV买个包包要砍下自己的胳膊和腿,那这个社会就太可怕了! 其实,在英语中,如果说到某个东西要cost an arm and a leg,它表达的是某个东西非常expensive。 3. Break a leg 在你即将要走进考场对付讨厌的微积分考试前,你们班上成绩最好的那个同学突然走过来对你说了句“Break a leg!” “这个傲娇鬼”,你忍不住在心里暗暗抱怨,“成绩好就可以这样诅咒别人吗?” 但其实那个学习好的傲娇鬼却并不是在诅咒你,因为在英文中,break a leg 其实是good luck的意思! 4. Hit the books 例句:The final exam is coming, I might need to go to the library and hit the books.

英文中经典谚语大集合

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

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." It is unpleasant to hear him speak on national topics, for he is a bird of ill omen. 叫他谈论国事是不愉快的,因为他常出不吉之言。 a bird of ill omen 中国有句老话:“夜猫子进宅,无事不来”,可见猫头鹰是种不吉利的象征。它往往和黑暗、神秘甚至死亡联系起来。然而在日本,猫头鹰却是吉利和幸福的代表。 奥运会的吉祥物 雕像、挂钟、水壶、牙签盒,甚至还有女士佩戴的胸针 They were only crying crocodile tears at the old man's funeral because nobody had really liked him. 在老人的葬礼上,他们在假装慈悲,因为他们之中没有谁喜欢过他。 We need not hope for lower taxes in the future ─ that would be crying for the moon. 我们不应抱任何希望将来会降低税收,这是根本不可能的事。 “不可能”,“没门”的译法 No way/There is no way! Impossible! Out of the question/That's out of the question! Not a chance! Hopeless! Pigs might fly! The sun might rise in the west! Never/Never ever ever! You are crying for the moon! Street Arabs are produced by slums and not by original sin. 流浪儿是贫民窟的产物,而不是原始罪恶的产物。 John is ashamed of his humble background. That is his Achilles' heel. 约翰因出身卑贱而自惭形秽,这是他的致命弱点。 Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own; in pain and sickness it would still be dear. 在我看来,你身上的每一个细胞都像我自己的细胞一样亲,即使你痛苦你有病,也还是一样亲。 I'll play old Gooseberry with the office, and make you glad to buy me out at a good high figure. 我要在工作上故意捣蛋,使你不得不付出高价收买我。 play gooseberry (British humorous) to be with two people who are having a romantic relationship and who would prefer to be alone. “Best be off to bed, my boy ─ ho, ho!”“No, no. We know a trick worth two of that. We won’t go home till morning, till day light does appear!” “孩子,最好上床睡吧——嗬,嗬!”“不,不,你不必跟我们玩那一套。不到明天,不到天大亮我们不归家。

英语常用习语
