汉英翻译第三章习语翻译习语是人们长期使用的一些独特的固定短语和短句，包括成语、俗语、谚语和歇后语。
成语是一种现成的话，跟习用语、谚语相近，但是也略有区别。
最主要的一点是习用语和谚语是口语性质的，成语大都出自书面，属于文语性质的。
其次在语言形式上，成语几乎都是约定俗成的四字结构，字面不能随意更换，而习用语和谚语总是松散一些,可多可少,不限于四个字。
例如“快刀斩乱麻”、“九牛二虎之力”、“驴唇不对马嘴”、“前怕狼，后怕虎”，这是常说的习用语；“百闻不如一见”、“真金不怕火炼”、“有志者事竟成”、“路遥知马力，日久见人心”，这是一些经验之谈，表示一个完整的意思，属于谚语一类。
成语跟习用语、谚语是不一样的。
俗语是熟语之一，指约定俗成，广泛流行，且形象精练的语句。
俗语包括谚语、歇后语（引注语）、惯用语和口头上常用的成语，但不包括方言词、俗语词、书面语中的成语，或名著中的名言警句，例如：“小二”管“大王” ，按下葫芦起来瓢，八抬大轿请不去，八字没一撇，拔根汗毛比腰粗，白披一张人皮，半斤对八两，半路上出家，饱汉不知饿汉饥，背着抱着一般沉，被人卖了还帮着数钱，笨鸟儿先飞，鼻子气歪了，比登天还难，比上不足，比下有余，比死人多口气，便宜没好货，好货不便宜，兵败如山倒，兵来将挡，水来土掩，冰冻三尺，非一日之寒，病从口入，祸从口出，病急乱投医，不比不知道，一比吓一跳，不吃黄连，不知啥叫苦，不吃馒头争（蒸）口汽，不吃羊肉惹身臊，不打不相识，不打无把握之仗，不打无准备之仗，不当家不知柴米贵，不到黄河心不死，不费吹灰之力，不分青红皂白，不够塞牙缝的，不管三七二十一，不见棺材不落泪，不见兔子不撒鹰，不见真佛不烧香，不进山门不受戒不经一事，不长一智，不看僧面看佛面，不可不信，不可全信，不可同日而语，不拉屎占茅坑，不怕不识货，就怕货比货，不怕慢，就怕站，不怕没好事，就怕没好人，不怕人不敬，就怕己不正，不怕一万，就怕万一，不怕贼偷，就怕贼惦心，不求同日生，只愿同日死，不入虎穴，焉得虎子，不食人间烟火，不是省油的灯，不是鱼死，就是网破，不是冤家不聚头，不死也扒成皮，不听老人言，吃亏在眼前，不养儿不知父母恩，不在话下，不知道哪头炕热，不知哪块云彩下雨，不知天高地厚，不撞南墙不回头，苍蝇不叮没缝的蛋，操心不见老，拆东墙，补西墙，常骂不惊，常打不怕，常说口里顺，常做手不笨，常在河边站，哪有不湿鞋，长他人志气，灭自己威风，长叹不如慢磨，长添灯草满添油，唱对台戏，朝中有人好做官，炒豆众人吃，炸锅一人事，车到山前必有路，扯淡，陈芝麻烂谷子，撑死胆大的，饿死胆小的，成人不自在，自在不成人，成事不足，败事有余，成者王侯败者寇，秤杆离不开秤铊，秤有头高头低，秤铊虽小压千斤，吃饱了撑的，吃别人嚼过的馍不香，吃不了兜着走，吃错了耗子药，吃定心丸，吃饭想撑死，干活怕累死，吃力不讨好，吃了豹子胆，吃了迷混药，吃了枪药了，吃人不吐骨头，吃人饭，拉狗屎，吃人家的嘴短，拿人家的手软，吃人家饭，受人家管，吃软不吃硬，吃哑巴亏，吃着碗里的，望着锅里的，丑话说在前头，丑媳妇早晚也得见公婆，初一一回十五一回，出多少汗，吃多少饭，出家人不说在家话，出水才见两腿泥，出头的橼子先烂，穿新鞋走老路，穿一条裤子，船到桥头自然直，船家的孩子会浮水，窗户纸一点就破，吹胡子瞪眼，此地无银三百两，此时无声胜有声，此一时，彼一时，聪明一世，糊涂一时，从刀尖上爬过来的，从小离娘，到大话长，打不着狐狸惹身骚，打不着野狼打家狗，打柴的不能跟放羊的走，打倒不如说倒，打灯笼找不着，打掉门牙往肚里咽，打狗还得看主人，打虎不成反被虎伤，打酒向提瓶子的要钱，打开窗户说亮话，打开天窗说亮话，打破砂锅问到底，打如意算盘，打铁还需本身硬，打退堂鼓，打瞎子，骂哑巴，打一巴掌，给个甜枣，打肿脸充胖子，打着灯笼找不着，大白天说梦话，大白天做梦，大海里捞针，大路朝天，各走半边，大门不出，二门不迈，大难不死，大事化小，小事化了，大树底下好乘凉，大眼瞪小眼，大意失荆州，大丈夫能屈能伸，胆小不得将军做，当地生姜不辣，当耳旁风，当面鼓对面锣，当面是人，背后是鬼，当着矬子不说短话，刀架脖子上，刀快不怕脖子粗，刀枪药虽好，不破手为高，刀子嘴，豆腐心，到什么山上唱什么歌，到什么时候说什么话，得便宜卖乖，得理不让人，得了便宜卖乖，得饶人处且饶人，低头不见抬头见，地在人种，事在人为，点腊烛不知油价爹死娘嫁人，各人顾各人，丁是丁，卯是卯，顶风臭十里，丢下嘴里的肉，去等河里的鱼，东一榔头，西一棒子，斗大字不识一升，豆腐掉到灰堆里，豆腐一方扁担一条，肚子疼怨灶王爷，端人家碗，受人家管，断了线的风筝，对事不对人，多一事不如少一事，躲得了初一，躲不了十五，躲雨跳到河里，恶人先告状，儿不嫌母丑，狗不嫌家贫，儿大不由娘，儿女情长，英雄气短，耳听为虚，眼见为实，二一添作五，翻脸不认人，反其道而行之反咬一口，方是真的，药是假的，房顶开门，灶坑打井，防君子不防小人，放长线钓大鱼，放屁砸了脚后跟，肥的瘦的一锅煮，肥水不流外人田，费力不讨好，费了九牛二虎之力风里来，雨里去，佛烧一炷香，人争一口气，福不双降，祸不单行，该吃九升，不吃一斗，干打雷不下雨，干的早不如干的巧，干活不由东，累死也无功，甘蔗没有两头甜，赶鸭子上架，赶早不赶晚，敢怒不敢言，刚出狼窝，又入虎口，胳膊拧不过大腿胳膊肘往外扭，隔墙有耳，隔行如隔山，各打五十大板，各人的梦各人圆，给个棒棰就当针，给脸不要脸，功到自然成，恭敬不如从命，公道不公道，自有天知道，公鸡下蛋，母鸡打鸣，公说公有理，婆说婆有理，狗改不了吃屎，狗眼看人低，狗嘴吐不出象牙，狗耷拉舌头不干鸡跷脚干，顾前不顾后，挂羊头卖狗肉，官不大，僚不小，官船漏，官马瘦光许愿，不烧香，三个臭皮匠，顶个诸葛亮，关键时刻掉链子，天下无难事，只怕有心人，鬼迷心窍，正儿八经，贵人多忘事，锅大勺有准，孩子哭了，抱给他娘，害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无，八辈子，唱白脸，唱反调，撑场面，吃错药，揭盖子，捂盖子，炒鱿鱼，变色龙，眼中钉，替罪羊，往伤口上撒盐，捡了芝麻，丢了西瓜。

15世纪末克里斯托弗·哥伦布在新世界发现了巧克力。
事实上，阿兹特克人喝巧克力的历史比任何人都早Drink chocolate well before everybody。
这是一种苦味的饮料，混合着烘烤过的可可种子和香料。
阿兹特克人十分崇尚这种饮料，但它十分神圣，只有富人能够喝得起so sacred that only the rich people could afford it 。
它无法与当今知名的巧克力相比，以至于它的征服者发现它难以入口。
经过改良的巧克力变身人气饮料it became a popular drink after the revolution。
因此各国都试图去寻找一种独特的秘方以使人们更能适应和享受巧克力。
巧克力在比利时的历史之初，被认为是一种礼物the chocolate was considered as a gift。
比利时巧克力独特的原因是其高品质原料和几乎狂热遵守的旧世界制造技术。
即便是当今世界的自动化和大规模生产环境下，大部分比利时巧克力仍是小店作坊，用最原始的设备手工制作的made by hand in small shops using original equipment。
事实上，这些小的巧克力店是当今的旅游胜地，吸引着无数游客来到比利时。
就像葡萄酒厂一样，到比利时参观巧克力商店的人们都会品味和购买许多巧克力商品。
2家里有苹果吗？如果有的话，请大人把它切开。
这时，你看到什么？原来苹果是有层次的。
最外层是果皮，它很薄但很坚韧it is thin but tough and protects the fruit，保护着整个水果。
果皮下面是果肉，果肉是构成苹果的主要物质，有的果肉很硬，也有的比较柔软。
最里面则是果核，它是苹果里最硬的部分，以此来保护其中的种子。
地球就像一个苹果，它分四层。
外层叫地壳，它是一层厚厚的岩石the other layer is the crust it is solid rock，厚达5-20英尺，在大陆区域会更厚一些。
