［摘要］水与人类的生活息息相关,离开了水，人类无法生存。

但是，由于各国的风俗习惯、思维方式、政治策略及地理环境等因素的不同，中英人民对“水”的理解既有相似之处，同时也存在着不同。

对于汉英语言中与“水”有关的习语的文化内涵及翻译这个话题，以前很少有人涉及。

但是，随着科学技术和经济全球化的快速发展，中英两国的跨文化交流越来越明显。

帮助人们了解汉英语言中与“水”有关的习语的文化内涵及翻译方法，可以进一步促进中英两国人民之间的文化交流。

［关键词］与“水”有关的习语；文化内涵；翻译；汉英［中图分类号］H315.9［文献标识码］A［文章编号］1672-8610（2009）05-0085-02浅谈汉英语言中与“水”有关的习语的文化内涵及翻译一、引言（一）研究现状水与人类的生活息息相关,是人类认识世界的一个重要领域。

英国是由大不列颠岛、爱尔兰岛的北部和一些小岛构成。

英国的渔业、航海业、造船业非常发达，在俗语的运用上他们所联想的自然与水有关。

有些俗语起初只是在水手们中间使用，因其表现力强，形象生动，贴近生活，后来逐渐被陆地上的人们所接收。

汉族人自古就以农业为生，水一直是农作物收成的主宰。

所以汉语中也有许多关于水的成语。

英汉语言中关于水的俗语在互译过程中，由于文化蕴含的不同，翻译方法也有所不同。

对于文化蕴含的差异及译法，大多数人都集中在研究颜色词语、动物词语及植物词语上。

几乎没有人涉及与水有关的俗语的文化蕴含的差异及译法的研究。

（二）“水”的范畴水是一种普通的物质，以多种形态在地球上存在：天空中的云，海洋中的海水，还有山中的河水。

英国是由大不列颠岛、爱尔兰岛的北部和一些小岛构成。

因此，英国是名副其实的岛国。

英国人的日常生活与海洋是密切相关的。

英国人经常在海上谋生。

- 212 -校园英语 /概念隐喻理论在习语理解中的运用——以有关“water”的习语为例陕西中医药大学外语学院/王丹【摘要】本文运用概念隐喻理论对与“water”相关的习语进行语义分析，发现这些习语的含义都与“water”的源域概念即水的基本特征及我们的身体经验有关，可通过水的特点及身体经验推测其含义。

因此，在英语教学中可培养学生有意识地运用隐喻思维来理解习语等理解起来有难度的词汇，提高学习兴趣和学习效率。

【关键词】概念隐喻 water 习语 认知一、引言习语是在一定文化中形成的在意义和结构上都比较稳定的语言结构，是从语言中提炼出来的核心和精华。

习语具有结构的固定性和语义的统一性。

结构的固定性是指习语的各个组成部分是固定的，不可以任意拆开或替换；语义的统一性，即习语的整体意义往往不能从组成习语的各个词汇意义中揣测出来，是不能望文生义的固定词组[1]。

因此，习语的理解在英语学习中是一个难点。

本文拟借用认知语言学的概念隐喻理论，以有关“water ”的习语为例，分析理解这些习语的认知过程，以期对英语学习及英语词汇教学有一定助益。

本文所涉及的习语均来自于《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》及《朗文当代英语辞典》。

二、概念隐喻理论传统隐喻理论将隐喻看做是一种语言现象。

随着语言学研究的不断推进，人们开始从逻辑学、认知心理学、哲学、人类学等视角对隐喻进行研究，提出了一系列解释隐喻现象的理论，使人们对隐喻的认识发生了质的变化。

其中，Lakoff & Johnson 的Metaphors We Live By 一书的出版具有里程碑式的意义。

他们在该书中首次提出了认知隐喻理论，该理论认为人类的概念系统的建构是隐喻性的，人类在认知世界的过程中由于缺乏清晰的类别概念和抽象的概念语言，只能用已知事物的具体意象来表达新事物，两类事物间的联系是通过类比和联想来发现它们之间的某种相似性而建立起来的[2]。

这种通过类比和联想进行的事物之间相似性的映射过程就是隐喻思维的基本过程。
