20个四字成语的翻译成英语刻舟求剑Making His Mark (Ke Zhou Qiu Jian)A man from the state of Chu was crossing a river. In the boat, his sword fell into the water. Immediately he made a mark on the boat."This is where my sword fell off," he said.When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to look for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat.The boat had moved but the sword had not. Is this not a very foolish way to look for a sword?Self-contradictionA man of the state of Chu had a spear and a shield for sale. He was loudin his praise of his shield. "My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through." He also sang praises of his spear. "My spear is so strong that it can pierce through anything." "What would happen," he was asked, "if your spear is used to pierce your shield?" It is impossible for an impenetrable shield to coexist with a spear that finds nothing impenetrable. n0 d9 p Z+ x/ M自相矛盾很久以前，楚国有个卖兵器的人，在市场上卖矛和盾。

六个四字成语及翻译成英语翻译刻舟求剑Making His Mark (Ke Zhou Qiu Jian)A man from the state of Chu was crossing a river. In the boat, his sword fell into the water. Immediately he made a mark on the boat."This is where my sword fell off," he said.When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to look for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat.The boat had moved but the sword had not. Is this not a very foolish way to look for a sword?Self-contradictionA man of the state of Chu had a spear and a shield for sale. He was loudin his praise of his shield. "My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through." He also sang praises of his spear. "My spear is so strong that it can pierce through anything." "What would happen," he was asked, "if your spear is used to pierce your shield?" It is impossible for an impenetrable shield to coexist with a spear that finds nothing impenetrable. n0 d9 p Z+ x/ M自相矛盾很久以前，楚国有个卖兵器的人，在市场上卖矛和盾。

汉语成语英译四法I. 直译法直译法（literal translation）能够保留原文的巧喻及形式，是翻译成语的最好方法。

但直译法必须在不违背译文的语法习惯，又不致引起误解的情况下才能使用。

例如：川流不息→flowing past in an endless stream犬马之劳→to serve like a dog or a horse易如反掌→as easy as turning over one's hand触景生情→the scene brings back memories无可救药→ beyond cureII. 意译法有的成语用直译法无法表达其意，我们只好忍痛割舍原文的巧喻，改以意义（free translation）来翻译。

例如：木已成舟→What's done is done.杞人忧天→unnecessary anxiety东施效颦→ blindly copying others and making oneself look foolish姜太公钓鱼，愿者上钩→Willingly fall into the snare.III.同义成语借用法有的汉语成语在内容和形式上都能够与英语成语相通，这时我们可以用同文的英语习语或成语来翻译汉语成语。

例如：隔墙有耳→ Walls have ears.绞尽脑汁→to rack one's brains一文不名→ without a penny to one's name谋事在人，成事在天→Man proposes, God disposes.说曹操，曹操到→Talk of the evil and he is sure to come.对牛弹琴→to throw pearls before swineIV. 注释法翻译汉语成语时，我们还可采用注释法（explanation），运用该种方法的好处是能介绍本国成语的特色，并能兼顾比喻、形式、清晰各方面。
