英汉动物类习语比较及其翻译Ξ欧 忆 贾德江(南华大学大学外语部 衡阳市 421001)摘 要 动物习语在英汉两种语言中的出现频率都很高。
英汉民族思维方式和文化背景不同,同一动物所承载的喻义也就会出现差异。
一方面,指称意义相同的动物形象,其喻义,即它在原语和译语中的语用含义可能相去甚远,甚至完全相悖。
另一方面,有些动物形象,在原语中含有丰富的语用意义,而在译语中却丢失,因而在译语中不能产生等值的意象联想。

英汉动物习语在两种语言中都很常见，它们通常用来描述人的性格或行为。
动物习语可以帮助我们更好地理解某些概念，并且往往具有文化特色。
下面是一些常见的英汉动物习语及其翻译：As sly as a fox: 如狐狸一般狡猾As brave as a lion: 如狮子一般勇敢As busy as a bee: 如蜜蜂一般忙碌As strong as an ox: 如牛一般强壮As cunning as a snake: 如蛇一般狡诈As wise as an owl: 如猫头鹰一般聪明As stubborn as a mule: 如骡子一般固执As loyal as a dog: 如狗一般忠诚动物习语不仅在英语中使用，在汉语中也有很多类似的习语。
例如：如虎添翼: As fierce as a tiger如鹰擎天: As proud as an eagle如龙卷风: As fierce as a dragon如鸽子般温顺: As gentle as a dove通过比较英汉动物习语，我们可以发现，虽然它们的意思是相似的，但是用来描述的动物却不一样。
这反映了不同文化对于同一概念的不同理解和表达方式。
此外，在两种语言中，有些动物习语的用法也略有不同。
例如，在英语中，"as sly as a fox" 通常用来形容一个人狡猾、狡诈，而在汉语中，"如狐狸一般狡猾"则通常用来形容一个人阴险、奸诈。
另外，有些动物习语在两种语言中都有，但是在不同文化中的含义略有不同。
例如，在英语中，"as wise as an owl" 通常用来形容一个人聪明、有智慧，而在汉语中，"如猫头鹰一般聪明"则通常用来形容一个人有眼光、有远见。
总的来说，英汉动物习语不仅可以帮助我们更好地理解某些概念，还可以让我们了解不同文化之间的差异。
在学习一种新语言时，了解其中的动物习语也是很有意义的。
