英语谚语的翻译技巧1.直译法直译法不仅能够传达英语谚语中所承载的文化信息,而且能产生较高的文化信息传递的有效度,同时还保留了英语谚语的民族色彩和文化特点,使中国读者能更好地感觉英语文化。
这种译法是把忠实于原文内容放在第一位,把忠实于原文形式放在第二位,把通顺的译文形式放在第三位。
例如:All roads lead to Rome.(条条大路通罗马)2.意译法有些英语谚语的表达方式因含有英语国家所特有的历史典故或文化背景,在直译过来后,中国读者很难理解。
采用意译,即舍弃原文形象、比喻,抓住内容、喻义,结合上下文灵活传达原意。
这种译法是把忠实于原文的内容放在第一位,把通顺的译文形式放在第二位,而不拘泥于原文形式放在第三位。
例如:Care killeda cat.(忧虑伤身)3.反译法所谓反译法就是指原文从正面表达的,译文可以从反面着笔翻译。
一些用肯定形式的英语谚语,往往有否定的含义;另一些用否定形式的英语谚语,往往有肯定的含义。
这些英语谚语在汉译时一般要用反译法来处理。
例如:Appearances are deceptive.(勿以貌取人)又如:It is an ill wind that blows nobody (any) good.(无论怎样坏的风也会对某些人有利)4.对应借译法有些英语谚语和汉语谚语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。
汉译这些英语谚语时,可借用与其喻义相同或相近的谚语直接对译。
这样不但可以比较好地坚持原文的神韵和形式,又使译文易于为中国读者接受。
例如: He who world search for pearls must dive deep.(不入虎穴,焉得虎子)4英语翻译学习技巧注意事项一. 翻译的技巧没有技巧,只有一个熟字。

著名的英国哲学家培根说过:“一个民族的天才、机智和精神表现在它的谚语中”。
R.R.K.Hartmann和Gregory James从文化的层面作出界定:“a culturally significant pithy saying with a moral or practical message”。
英语中有这样两句关于谚语的谚语:Proverbs are the daughters of daily experience(谚语是日常经验的女儿),Proverbs are the cream of a nation’s thought(谚语是一个民族的思想精华). 英语谚语源远流长的历史及其别具一格的语言特色正是英语精华之所在。
