第三篇：成语翻译

1.人无远虑，必有近忧

【英译】You can't make something out of nothing.2.智者千虑，必有一失

【英译】No man is wise at all times.1.静以修身。

【中译】出自《诫子书》诸葛亮：夫君子之行，静以修身，俭以养德。非淡泊无以明志，非宁静无以致远。所谓“静以修身”，是一种精神境界，“静“是一种修养，静不仅可以思考，也可以养性、养心。纵观历史，大部分有成就的人都是以静制动！

【英译】A light heart lives long.勤能补拙

【中译】指后天的勤奋能够弥补先天的不足、缺陷。语本 宋邵雍《弄笔吟》：“弄假像真终是假，将勤补拙总输勤。”理由《高山与平原》：“勤能补拙，熟能生巧。”

【英译】Fall in love at first sight.1.江山易改,本性难移

【英译】By falling we learn to go safely.1.学无止境

【中译】用勤奋学习的方式适应环境。出处清·刘开《问说》：“理无专在，而学无止境也，然则问可少耶？”学无止境的故事古今中外数不胜数，一个个故事不断地激励和鞭策人们奋进。

【英译】progress sometimes uses a comma, but never a full stop.2.不以物喜，不以己悲

【英译】Rumor stops at those who are witty.2.心有余而力不足。

【英译】The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.天行健，君子以自强不息 【中译】《周易·乾》：“天行健，君子以自强不息。地势坤，君子以厚德载物。”意指君子处事，就应该像天那样高大刚毅而自强不息，自我力求进步，永不停止。

【英译】This land so rich in beauty has made countless heroes bow in homage.2.数风流人物，还看今朝。

【中译】“数风流人物，还看今朝”出自毛泽东的《沁园春·雪》，这首词写于1936年2月。遵义会议确立了毛泽东在全党全军的领导地位。毛泽东率长征部队胜利到达陕北之后，领导全党展开伟大斗争。在陕北清涧县，毛泽东曾于一场大雪之后攀登到白雪覆盖的塬上视察地形，过后写下了这首词。

【英译】Nothing is so certain as the unexpected.2.宁为玉碎不为瓦全。【中译】原指宁如珍贵之玉器被击成支离破碎，而不作贱价之瓦器得以保全。后喻宁可保全气节，为正义之事而死，而不愿忍辱屈从，而苟且偷生。语见（唐·李百药《北齐书·卷四十一·列传第三十三·元景安传》）：“景皓云：‘岂得弃本宗，遂他姓？大丈夫‘宁可玉碎，不为瓦全’。’”

【英译】Better death than dishonor..独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。

第四篇：成语与翻译

成语与翻译

in the seventh heaven：(not formal)in a state of great happiness or contentment 欢天喜地，欣喜若狂，喜出望外

这条成语同宗教有关，七重天是指上帝和天使居住的天国最高层。言外之意，人能身居天国最高层，与上帝同处，应该是非常愉快的

英语成语分类：

1.一类是平铺直叙的，既无很深的含义，也无难解的典故，只是用词与搭配相对地固定。这类成语从字面上去理解，直译

Knit one’s brow 皱眉头

Last but not least

最后但不是最不重要的一点 Laugh in sb’s face

当面嘲笑 Lay sth to heart

把某事放在心上 Have pity on sb

晋代有一个读书人叫车胤，他从小好学不倦，但因家境贫困父亲无法为他提供良好的学习环境。为了维持温饱，没有多余的钱买灯油供他晚上读书。为此，他只能利用时间背诵诗文。读书笔记

夏天的一个晚上，他正在院子里背一篇文章，忽然见许多萤火虫在低空中飞舞。一闪一闪的光点，在黑暗中显得有些耀眼。他想，如果把许多萤火虫集中在一起，不就成为一盏灯了吗：于是，他去找了一只白绢口袋，随即抓了几十只萤火虫放在里面，再扎住袋口，把它吊起来。虽然不怎么明亮，但可勉强用来看书了。从此，只要有萤火虫，他就去抓一把来当作灯用。由于他勤学苦练，后来终于做了职位很高的官。读后感

同朝代的孙康情况也是如此。由于没钱买灯油，晚上不能看书，只能早早睡觉。他觉得让时间这样白白跑掉，非常可惜。读书笔记

一天半夜，他从睡梦中醒来，把头侧向窗户时，发现窗缝里透进一丝光亮。原来，那是大雪映出来的，可以利用它来看书。于是他倦意顿失，立即穿好衣服，取出书籍，来到屋外。宽阔的大地上映出的雪光，比屋里要亮多了。孙康不顾寒冷，立即看起书来，手脚冻僵了，就起身跑一跑，同时搓搓手指。此后，每逢有雪的晚上，他就不放过这个好机会，孜孜不倦地读书。这种苦学的精神，促使他的学识突飞猛进，成为饱学之士。后来，他也当了高官。读后感
