英语翻译
如mantra ,此词原为梵文,指的是印度教的经典祷文、符咒,在20 世纪90 年代晚期成为了美国大众传媒,尤其是报刊杂志爱用的新词,用作口号、口头禅或呼声.Chintzy 源于印度语chint ,指的是土产印有花样的棉布料,现指不值钱或不时髦的东西,也可指人吝啬、小气.castle in Spain ( t he air) :空中楼阁,白日做梦.来自法语chateauxen Espangne .为什么提到西班牙?可能因为西班牙一度被认为是个富于浪漫色彩的国家.当时西班牙缙绅无城堡及别墅可居而群居于城市.
人类的物质文化是通过人类生存所必须的四大部分:衣、食、住、行反映出来的.中国有句俗语:“民以食为天”.西方人同样说:感谢上帝踢给我食物.因此,英语食物名词被引用为习语和俚语也很常见.
文学作品以其丰富的文化内涵为英语俚语提供了源源不断的素材.如:Open sesame (开门咒;过难关的秘诀;关键,敲门砖) .源出《天方夜谭》中的《阿里巴巴和四十大盗》:一个山洞藏有无数金银财宝,但洞门紧闭,须用咒语“芝麻”( sesame) 才能把门打开,故云.例:Wealth is an open sesame to much society.(财富是许多社交活动的开门咒.) t he lion’sshare of ( somet hing) (大部份) .t he lion’s share 这句成语出自《伊索寓言》,狮子因为比较凶猛,与其它动物瓜分猎物时,通常会分到最大块、最美味的部份.所以用来比喻最大、最好的部份.例:That sof tware
designer still cont rol s t he lion’s share of t he market .(那位软体设计师仍然握有大部份的市场.)
作为人类文化中最具特色的民俗,也为俚语的产生作出了不可磨灭的功绩.如:Pipe of peace (和平烟;言归于好;言和;和解) .这条成语源出北美印第安人的风俗习惯;用旱烟筒敬外来人表示亲善,而在议和时用一支烟斗轮流吸烟.例:Let’s drop our enmity and smoke t he pipe of peace.(让我们抛弃敌意,言归于好吧.) 同样,Go through fire and water(赴汤蹈火;冒一切危险) ,源出盎格鲁撒克逊时期的中世纪判罪法(又称神裁法) :将嫌疑犯的手浸在沸水中,手无损,则定为无罪.又如:Polish the apple(口) (拍马屁;阿谀奉承) .过去,美国学生为了讨好老师而把擦得闪闪发光的苹果给老师送去.这一习语即从此种风俗而来.有时在apple 前加上old ,或在apple 后加or two ,无其它意义,只是为了调整语调.An apple polisher 意为马屁精.例:He is promoted very quickly because he is good at polishing the apple.(他善于拍马屁所以升迁很快.)
颜色就是世界的缩写.大千世界之所以美丽,没有颜色就变得枯燥乏味.颜色———世界因她而愈加有色泽,愈加丰富.所以,颜色词出现在习语俚语中也自然是屡见不鲜.例如,Blue moon (蓝色月亮) ,月亮通常是银白色的,那么违背自然常识的现象,生成之意:几乎不,很少.once in a blue moon (千载难逢地) .再如white lie (白色谎言) ,西方文化中,白色代表纯洁,喜欢结婚的婚纱礼服是白色的,表示真诚无邪,白色被用来修饰谎话,意思是:(为安慰人而说的无恶意的谎话) .反之,black lie 则是用心险恶的谎言.当然,俚语还有其它的诸如身体部位、大自然等其它来源,不在此一一列出,但无论哪种来源,都与人们的物质文化生活息息相关,了解了这点,会帮助我们事半功倍地记忆、运用它们.
