学典故记单词:用来表达金钱的英语俚语Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.(MUSIC)Most people enjoy working for several reasons. Their job might be fun, or they like their employer and the other people at work. Most people I know, however, work for the money. I do not know anyone who is loaded, or extremely rich. Most of my friends work to earn enough money to live. They have to make ends meet. They have to earn enough money to pay for the things they need. Some even live from hand to mouth. They only have enough money for the most important things.They struggle to earn enough money to bring home the bacon. It can be difficult to earn enough money for a family to survive. Sometimes, poor people even get caught short. They do not have enough money to pay for what they need.Or they have to spend or lay out more money than they want for something. When this happens, poor people have to tighten their belts and live on less money than usual. I hate when I have to live on less money. It takes me longer to get back on my feet, or return to good financial health.However, other people are on the gravy train. They get paid more money than their job is worth. These people make a bundle. They really rake in the cash. In fact, they make so much money that they can live high off the hog.They own the best of everything and live in great ease. Sometimes they pay an arm and a leg for something.Because money is no object to wealthy people, they will pay high prices for whatever they want. Sometimes, they even pay through the nose. They pay too much for things.I am not rich. I did not make a killing in the stock market when my stocks increased in value. Yet, I am not poor either. When I go out with friends, I do not want to shell out or pay a lot of money. Often, my friends and I will chip in or pay jointly for a fun night out. When we go to restaurants the meal is Dutch treat. Each person pays his or her own share.Once, the owner of a restaurant gave us a dinner on the house. We did not have to pay for our meals. However, I admit that we had to grease someone's palm. We had to pay money to the employee who led us to our table. The money was for a special request. Yes, it was a buy off. The employee put us at the top of the list for a table instead of making us wait like everyone else. We had a great time that night and the meal did not set me back at all. I did not have to pay anything.Because of that experience, I will always remember that nice things still happen in a world that is driven by money. But, that is just my two cents worth. It is just my opinion.(MUSIC)WORDS AND THEIR STORIES, in VOA Special English, was written by Jill Moss. I'mFaith Lapidus.现在是VOA特别英语词语典故节目。

英语谚语故事1:The Miser 守财奴A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold,which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily.One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements.He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure,and digging down,came to the lump of gold,and stole it.The Miser,on his next visit,found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations.A neighbor,seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause,said," ray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone,and place it in the hole,and fancy that the gold is still lying there.It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there,you had it not,as you did not make the slightest use of it."有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产,换回了金块,并秘密地埋在一个地方.他每天走去看看他的宝藏.有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察,知道了真情,趁他走后,挖出金块拿走了.守财奴再来时,发现洞中的金块没有了,便捶胸痛哭.有个人见他如此悲痛,问明原因后,说道:“喂,朋友,别再难过了,那块金子虽是你买来的,但并不是你真正拥有的.去拿一块石头来,代替金块放在洞里,只要你心里想着那是块金子,你就会很高兴.这样与你拥有真正的金块效果没什么不同.依我之见,你拥有那金块时,也从没用过.英语谚语故事2:Plug one's ears while stealing a bell掩耳盗铃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 pieceswith 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.在春秋战国时期,有一个小偷偷了一只钟。

孟红(内蒙古科技大学外国语学院,内蒙古包头市 014010)[摘要]语言是文化的一部分,翻译是一种跨文化交流的双语艺术。
翻译时,我们尽量传递对等的信息,以便使译入语和源语言的读者享受最为接近的语言。

2、短语在语言交流中,为使表达内容更加生动形象,人们常常借助习语来达此目的。
中英文习语的不同表达方式主要缘自地理环境、历史文化背景以及人们思考方式的不同。
因此,我们按照影响因素的不同将其归类如下:海洋文化和陆地文化:英语习语多与海洋相关,这主要是受其地理环境的影响。
而汉语习语往往与陆地相联,这也主要取决于其陆地文化。
在翻译习语时,我们要注重深层含义的表达。
例如:汉语习语英语习语牛饮 Drink like a fish碰壁 On the rock挥金如土 Spend money like water是非之地 Sea of troubles商业经济和农业经济:英语习语映射出英国商品经济及海洋经济的传统,而汉语习语则体现出中国农业经济的特色。
例如:汉语习语英语习语种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆 Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind 入不敷出 Go bankrupt未雨绸缪 Put money aside for a rainy day捡了芝麻,漏了西瓜 Penny wise and pound foolish表达方式:英语习语的率直和实用主义风格从一个侧面反映了希腊文化,而汉语习语的含蓄委婉则反映了儒家思想和道家学说的核心。

英语习语典故集锦——soptoCerberus:买路钱
刻耳柏洛斯(Cerberus)是古希腊罗马神话中守卫冥府入口的,长有三个头的猛犬。
它即不让活人进入,也不放亡灵出去。
古罗马诗人维吉尔所写史诗《埃涅伊特》(Aeneid)有这样一段描述:特洛伊英雄埃涅阿斯在女巫引导下游历阴间。
出入冥府大门时,女巫把一块用蜂蜜和罂粟花枝浸泡过的甜饼扔给刻耳柏洛斯,待它吃完沉沉入睡了,他们才得以安全通过。
因此,在古代希腊罗马民间流行一种习俗:人死之后,下葬时除了在死者嘴里放一枚钱币作为渡冥河的船费外,还要在死者手里塞上一块糕饼之类的东西,作为投喂刻耳柏洛斯的食物,使亡灵在冥府入口不受刁难而能顺利通过。
因此,英语习语sop to Cerberus(给刻耳柏洛斯的面包片)就常用来表示“贿赂”、“买路钱”。
例句:If I can give that Cerberus a sop, I shall be at rest for one day. 我若能给那个看守一点甜头,我就可以安然歇息一天。
