汉英谚语的比较与翻译一、引言谚语是“流传于民间的简练通俗而富于意义的语句”。
汇集了人民大众集体的智慧, 经过长期的积累, 科学的概括, 艺术的操练, 以形象的比喻, 总结生活经验, 阐述人生哲理。
谚语形象鲜明生动, 内容深入浅出, 寓义意味深长, 富有思想性, 艺术性和大众性, 因此雅俗共赏, 妇孺皆知, 世代相传而影响深远, 有些已成为流传于古的至理名言, 诚如唐代大文学家韩愈说: “一言而为天下法, 一语而为百世师。
”谚语作为各民族文化的精髓, 既反映了各民族文化的共性, 又反映了其个性。
从广义上讲, 谚语在汉英两种语言中具有语义整体性, 结构稳定性和语法的不规则性的特点, 加上人类感受认识世界的手段和方法在许多方面都是相近或一些完全或基本对应的谚语。
例如: 失败是成功之母( Failure is the mother of success) ; 眼不见, 心不想(out of sight, out ofmind) 等。
但这只占谚语中极少部分, 而大量的谚语则表示出各自的文化特征, 无论是物质文化, 还是精神文化都不尽相同, 毕竟中西方都有自己悠久的历史,中、英语文化有着多方面的差异, 研究和比较其差异, 将有助于我们掌握语言的规范以及培养语言交际能力, 如果不了解其文化背景, 则翻译时必然会引起歧义; 但通过分析比较, 找出其规律, 则会使译文达到“信实, 通达, 雅致”之效果。
二、汉英谚语的比较谚语, 在我国最早出现在夏商时代, 指“在群众中间流传的固定语句, 用简单通俗的语言反映出深刻的道理。
”在语音上重视声韵, 用词上讲究凝练, 句式上注重对称,表达上力求形象, 是民族文化艺术宝库上绚丽多彩的瑰宝。
英语谚语最早见之于八世纪的古英语, 是英美等国人民的口头创作, 不仅是一种语言现象, 而且也是大不列颠文化财富的一部分, 凝集着人民群众生活和斗争的经验,反映了自然界和社会的一定规律, 也从各方面反映出大不列颠民族的生活哲理、道德、观念、行为准则和风土人情。
