第一篇：英语中的隐喻性谚语
英语中的隐喻性谚语
谚语是人民群众口头流传的固定语句，用简单通俗的话来反映深刻的道理。谚语是民间集体创造、广为口传、言简意赅并较为定型的艺术语句，是民众丰富智慧和普遍经验的规律性总结，闪耀着人民智慧的光芒。
隐喻性谚语指的是带有可见的或不可见的概念隐喻结构的谚语，或者是带有语言层面的隐喻表达的谚语。也就是说它们包括带“A是B”结构的隐喻性谚语和带有语言层面的隐喻表达的谚语。带“A是B”结构的隐喻性谚语的例子有：失败是成功之母；承诺是债务，等等。前文我们区别过带有语言层面的隐喻表达和概念隐喻的不同，谚语里也一样。带有语言层面的隐喻表达的谚语，如：时间证明一切。这句里“证明”这个词的主语往往是“人”，句子隐含了“时间是人”之意。源域“人”使人们更易理解目标域“时间”。这句谚语的隐喻意义为：人们随着时间将看清所有的事情。
隐喻性谚语的特点有四个方面：
第一，隐喻性谚语是认识抽象概念的工具。日常生活中，我们常遇到一些抽象的、难以捉摸的概念，事实上通过字面的表达我们很难解释和理解它们。隐喻性言语有助于我们把它们视为可比较的目标以更方便地理解这些抽象概念。
第二，隐喻性谚语在句子层面是习惯性的表达。隐喻性谚语属于习语有固定形式。严格来说，很多谚语是不能改变它们的现存结构的，如：我们不能把“时间是金钱”说成“时间是美元”。其次隐喻性谚语是句子，它们是一个整体而不是句子的一部分。如：我们不能说“失败是成功之母”意为“失败是母亲”等等。
第三，隐喻性谚语带有经历、知识、真理、智慧和説服。隐喻性谚语的生命力大部分与它们带有传授知识、告知真相、传播智慧与起到警示的功能。为了将前辈的经验与知识传与后人，人们在日常的教育与指示性活动中运用谚语。可以说除非教育与指导从人们生活中消失否则谚语不会灭亡。
第四，隐喻性谚语形式简洁、语言形象、音韵优美。隐喻性谚语源于生活被人们口头创造。进过几次的修改后，谚语常是简短而简单的，很多种语言中的修辞方式，包括隐喻、各种韵律都被运用以使谚语优美化。

第三篇：英语谚语
这是从网上搜集的一些关于狗的一些谚语和一些其他常见谚语，很有意思：）
Rain Cats and Dogs
Rain Cats and Dogs（倾盆大雨）这一短语的出处也不得而知。有记载的用法首次出现在朱纳森·斯威夫特所著的《礼貌会话》一书中，该书大约写于1708年，三十年后才出版。斯威夫特的著作是讽刺一些陈词滥调的，因此，上述短语在斯威夫特写书相当长一段时间就已经在用了。
罗森指出，该短语有更早的一种变体，“Rain Dogs and Pole cats”，（“下狗和鸡貂”），来自理查德·伯罗米的《1652年城市妙语》。关于这一起源的意见包括：
·古体法语Catdoupe意为瀑布或大瀑布。
·雷电大作与猫狗打架的声音相似。
·北方神话中，猫对天气会产生影响，此外，暴风雨之神欧丁（Odin）是由狗和狼侍俸的。
伯罗米所引用的上面这些说法是不可能的，因为古代英语的变体中“Pole cat”与“Cat”是相对立的，说它是从Cat doupe 传下来也不可能。同样，由于Polecats（鸡貂）也并不是Cats（猫），而是类似黄鼠狼或臭鼬之类的动物。至于猫科动物具体神秘特征的涵义，同样也是不可能的。
还有另一种说法是在古老的伦敦，一场倾盆大雨后常常是汪洋一汽，淹死许多迷路的狗和猫，因此，雨停，水退后，满街死狗死猫，似乎天上落下了众多的狗和猫似的。这种说法听起了像是花言巧语，但早期这一词组用到Polecats，又使上述说法不太可能。
因此，关于这一短语的奥秘仍然没有什么满意的解释。

一说源自古代斯堪的那维亚神话：雨中巫婆骑着猫通过，而雨神乘的是一条狗。还有一个说法：古代街道排水设施太差，一下大雨，许多猫和狗都被淹死，雨水流走后，街上满是猫和狗的尸体。第三个说法是该成语来自希腊文的catadupe，意为“瀑布”，下瓢泼大雨时犹如瀑布，后来慢慢演变成了rain cats and dogs dog
