[敷衍搪塞] give someone the runaround别拿话儿搪塞我们。
我们只想知道你到底是同意还是不同意。
Don’t give us the runaround. We’d just like to know whether you agree or not.“拿话儿搪塞”或“敷衍搪塞”的说法可用give someone the runaround的句式来表示。
give someone the runaround实际上指“使某人到处乱转”，即在“找借口”或“托辞”。
这也就相当于“搪塞”所要表达的意思了。
请看下述例句：Sample Sentences1、不要拿话搪塞我，告诉我你到底想不想和我结婚！Don’t give me the runaround. Just tell me if you would marry me or not.2、我跟他借钱，他只是拿话搪塞却分文未借。
I asked him to lend me some money, but I got nothing except the runaround.3、希望这次你能给我个确切的答复，别再拿话搪塞我了。
I’ve come to know the definite answer this time, not the runaround again.[哭穷] to poor-mouth别跟我哭穷了，我还不知道你的底细？Don’t poor-mouth to me . I have your number.汉语中“哭穷”的说法实际上是指一种“掩盖钱财实力”，“装寒酸”的掩饰行为，可用俚语poor-mouth来表示。
例如：每当我要跟他借钱的时候他就跟我哭穷。
He would poor-mouth to me whenever I come to borrow money.此语是个多义词，有时也可用来表示“说话留有余地”的意思。

习语的六种翻译方法语言的互相翻译不但有利于各国文化的交流，更有利于语言的发展。
在搞翻译工作时最怕碰上习语多的文章。
因为为了忠于原者，译文心须既何持它的外国味，但也要符合本国文字的要求，而翻译习语却是最难把这两个标准一同达到的。
为了要适汉地把外国语言中的习语忠实地翻译出来，有经验的翻译工作者一般采取下列几种方法：1直译法----就是按照文字的字面意思直接翻译过来,例如汉语中外国人看起来示但深明其义，而且的“纸老虎”直译成“paper tiger”，觉得很是传神，所以现已成为正式的英美民族语言。
另外，我们口中由“走狗”译成为“running dog”．的“丢脸”也被直译为“lose face”，于中国热而大为外国人欢迎的“功夫”音译成“kung fu”等也算是直译法的一种。
2同义习语借用法——两种语言中有些同义习语无论在内容、形式和色彩上都有相符合，它们不人但相同的意思或隐义，面且有相同的或极相似的形象或比喻。
翻译时如果遇到这种情况不妨直载了当地互相借用。
比方说汉语中有一句习语是“隔墙有耳“，英语中却有”两句话字、义两合，无懈可击。
我们说“火上加油”，walls have ears”，两者也完全一样。
英国人则说”to add fuel to the flame”，3意译法——有些习语无法直译，也无法找到同义的习语借用,则只好采用意译的方法来对待.例如汉语中的”落花流水”用来表示被。
“乌烟瘴气“形打得大败之意,译成英文便是“to bi shattered to pieces”容情形混乱不堪，可用“chaos”来表达。
4省略法—汉语中有一种情况，就是习语中有的是对偶词不达意组，前后含意重复。
偶到这种情况时可用省略法来处理，以免产生画蛇添足之感。
例如“铜墙铁壁”可译成“wall of bronz l” 已经足够，街谈巷议“在意义上也是实在无须说成”wall pf klckopper and iron”.”便可以了。
