  总的说来,英语习语的译法大致可分为直译、直译加注法、套译、意译、直译加意译、意译加注6种。


  *直译
  直译不仅能再现原文的意义和语言形式,还能保持其生动形象的比喻和新颖独特的表达手法, 让读者体会原习语的风采,同时丰富汉语表达形式。象"条条大路通罗马"、"特洛伊木马"等就是通过直译进入汉语语言并成为汉语语言的一部分的。一般说来,英语习语如在形、义上与汉语习语全同或是基本相同的常可采用直译,原习语中的比喻或形象能为汉语读者所接受的有时也可以采用直译。例如:
  to be armed to the teeth 武装到牙齿(该典故出自从前南美的北海岸的海盗,他们除了两手都持武器外,在牙齿间还要咬一把刀。)
  Time is money. 时间就是金钱(比"一寸光阴一寸金"流行)
  to shed crocodile tears 掉鳄鱼眼泪 as cold as ice 冰冷
  to trim the sail to the wind看风使帆
  Too many cooks spoil the broth 1. 厨子多了煮坏汤。
  Blood is thicker than water. 血浓于水。
  *直译加注法
  有些习语直译后,仍不能把原意清楚准确地表达出来, 就可采用直译加注释法。例如:
  a bull in a china shop公牛闯进瓷器店──肆意捣乱
  to shed crocodile tears流鳄鱼眼泪──假慈悲
  People considered that what he had played on that occasion was no more than a Judas kiss.人们认为他在那种场合所表演的不过是犹大之吻──居心险恶。
  The favors of Government are like the box of Pandora, with this important difference; that they rarely leave hope at bottom. 政府的恩惠如同潘多拉的盒子,后患无穷,主要不同之处是:盒底很少留有希望。
  The best fish swim (are) near the bottom.好鱼居水底——有价值的东西不能轻易得到。
  Fish begins to stink 2 at the end.鱼要腐烂头先烂——上梁不正下梁歪。
  If two ride on a horse, one must ride behind.两人骑一匹马,总有一人坐在后面——两人参加的事只能一人为主。
  The apples on the other side of the wall are the sweetest.隔墙的苹果最甜——这山看着那山高。
  Don't forget to cross your t's.写时不要忘记 t上面那一横——一言一行都不要马虎草率。
  *套译
  套译就是借用汉语成语来翻译。由于文化背景不同,原文的形象有时不符合中国习俗,如直译出来寓意就会颇为费解,或原文的形象引起另一种联想,从而影响到原文意思的准确传达,这时大多可以采用套译。英汉习语形异义似时,有时可采用这种译法。例如:
  Better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion. 宁为鸡首,不为牛后。
  Some prefer turnips 3 and others pears.萝卜白菜,各有所爱。(比译为"有人喜欢萝卜,有人喜欢梨"更能为中国读者所理解和接受。 )
  as lean as a rail 骨瘦如柴 (如 直译为"瘦得像个横杆",则不符合中国人习惯。)
  clean hand 两袖清风
  It was by no means a bed of rose. 这决不是安乐窝。
  He cries wine and sells vinegar. 挂羊头,卖狗肉。
  as pale (or white) as ashes( or sheet or death) 面如土色
  as red as rose 艳如桃李
  as clear as daylight 洞若观火
  All shall be well, Jack 4 shall have Jill. 有情人终成眷属。
  He robs Peter to pay Paul. 拆东墙补西墙。
  Diamonds cut Diamonds. 棋逢对手,将遇良才。
  Pay on the spot and borrow a lot; pay slow and you'll get no dough 5.好借好还,再借不难。
