第三篇：英文谚语
英文谚语——英语教学中一道美丽的风景

对于“谚语”，《现代汉语词典》是这样解释的：“在群众中间流传的固定语句，用简单通俗的话反映出深刻的道理。”英语中也有很多谚语，它们是流传于英、美等国人民群众口头上的一种较为定型的简练、生动的...对于“谚语”，《现代汉语词典》是这样解释的：“在群众中间流传的固定语句，用简单通俗的话反映出深刻的道理。”英语中也有很多谚语，它们是流传于英、美等国人民群众口头上的一种较为定型的简练、生动的语句,总结了人民大众生活斗争的经验,具有传授经验教训以及诲人劝诫的功能。在教学中，教师如果恰到好处地运用英语谚语，不仅有利于提高学生的学习兴趣和语言素养，而且有利于培养学生的欣赏能力和表达能力。巧借谚语，扩充词汇
《普通高中英语课程标准》中关于词汇的要求是很明确的。语言知识目标中的八级要求是：学会使用3300个左右的单词和400~500个习惯用语或固定搭配。九级要求更高：学会使用4500个左右的单词和一定数量额习惯用语或固定搭配，能根据交际话题、场合和人际关系等相关因素选择较为适当的词语进行交流或表达。[1]
可见，英语教学中有意或无意的渗透词汇，对于学生词汇的习得至关重要。教学中可以借助词汇的教学，补充一些谚语，使学生从朗朗上口的诵读中积累一些词汇。笔者在教《牛津高中英语》模块一第一单元时，就尝试给学生输出这些谚语：
Respect yourself, or no one else will respect you.君须自敬，人乃敬之。
Constant dropping wears away a stone.滴水穿石。
Many drops make a shower.积少成多。
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.作最好的希望，作最坏的打算。
A good marksman may miss.智者千虑，必有一失。
There are only two powers in the world, the sword and the pen;and in the end the former is always conquered by the latter.世界上只有两种力量：刀和笔；而其结果，后者总是战胜前者。
Experience is the father of wisdom and memory the mother.经验是知识之父，记忆是知识之母。
The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.赠予者的心意可使馈赠的东西增加价值而显得珍贵。
Speech is silver, silence is golden.雄辩是银，沉默是金。
Judge not a book by its cover.人不可貌相。
One wrong thought may cause a lifelong regret.一念之错可铸终生之恨。
Learn to walk before you run.循序渐进。
Still waters run deep.大智若愚。/静水流深。
A wise head makes a close mouth.智者寡言。
Great designs require great consideration.宏伟的计划需要慎重考虑。
The wolf may lose his teeth, but never his nature.江山易改，本性难易。
另外，有许多英语谚语短小精悍、音韵和谐、朗朗上口，非常适合于背诵。例如：No pains，no gains.（不劳无获。）Grasp all, lose all.（贪多必失。）Out of sight, out of mind.（眼不见，心不烦。）Health is better than wealth．（健康胜过财富。）Practice makes perfect.（熟能生巧。）Better early than late./ Better late than never.（早做比晚做好。/晚做比不做好。）A friend in need is a friend indeed.（患难见真情。）An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.（一日之计在于晨。）……学生如果能够每天记忆两三条谚语，哪怕一天一条，长期坚持，在内化过程中定能熟透于心，从而在特定的语言环境中脱口而出，在书面表达中也能信手拈来，收到贴切、生动、幽默、风趣等意想不到的语言效果。
2巧借谚语，熟悉语法
语法是高中学生学习英语的一大障碍，高中语法复杂难懂，是制约学生提高英语水平的一个瓶颈，教学中借用谚语可以使枯燥的语法讲解变得生动活泼，学生也学得兴趣盎然。
比如，在讲语法难点——非谓语动词时，笔者尝试借助谚语举了以下例子来分别说明其用法。
（1）现在分词用法
Let sleeping dogs lie.别弄醒睡着的狗。（别惹是生非。）
（2）过去分词用法
A penny saved is a penny earned(or gained).省钱就是赚钱。
It is good fishing in troubled waters.混水之中好摸鱼。
（3）动名词用法
Seeing is believing.眼见为实。
It’s no use crying over spilt milk.牛奶已洒，哭也没用。
（4）不定式用法
It’s better to give than to receive.施舍比索取更受人赞。
Be slow to promise and quick to perform.不轻诺，诺必果。
短小风趣的谚语一下子吸引了学生的兴趣，他们在细心地聆听、尽情地诵读中不知不觉悟出了非谓语动词的用法，轻轻松松突破了教学的难点。
从句也是高中语法的重点、难点，教学中，我采用谚语帮助理解，同样收到了很好的效果。
（1）定语从句
The man that suffers much knows much.磨难多，见识广。
Heaven helps those who help themselves.自助者天助。
He that is master of himself will soon be master of others.能主宰自己的人不久就可以主宰别人。
All is not gold that glitters.闪亮的不都是金子。
All is well that ends well.结果好才是真好。
Experience is a school from which one can never graduate.经验无止境。
（2）状语从句
A.时间状语从句
Strike the iron while it is hot.趁热打铁。
You make the failure complete when you stop trying.不再努力之时，就是完全失败之日。
All time is no time when it is past.光阴一去不复返。
B.地点状语从句
Where there is a will, there is a way.有志者事竟成。
Where there is smoke, there is fire.有烟必有火。（无风不起浪。）
C.条件状语从句
Life is long if you know how to use it.如果懂得好好利用，生命就长了。
We only live once, but if we work it right once is enough.我们生命只一次，好自为之一次足矣。
D.原因状语从句
As you sow, you shall mow.种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。
Knowledge is the most precious treasure of all things, because it can never be given away, nor stolen nor consumed.知识是万物中最珍贵的财宝，丢不掉，偷不走，也不会损耗。
E.方式状语从句
Childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day.看人看年少，看天看破晓。
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.读书养神，锻炼健身。
F.比较状语从句
A miss is as good as a mile.失之毫厘，差之千里。
Wisdom in the mind is better than money in the hand.手里有钱财，不如胸中有文才。
G.让步状语从句
Though a lie be well dressed, it is ever overcome.谎言即使打扮得再好，到头来也会被揭穿。
Whatever you do, do with your might;Things done by halves are never done right.不论做什么事要尽力去做；事情做得不彻底，就不能算好。
（3）名词性从句
We must repeat a thousand and one times that perseverance is the only road to success.我们必须千百次地反覆说明，坚韧不拔是取得胜利的唯一道路。
Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today.今日事，今日毕。
What is worth doing at all is worth doing well.事既值得做，就把事做好。
What is lost is lost.失去的不可复得。
教师还可以借助谚语来让学生掌握一些较复杂的句型。比如，我在教强调句型时，用了这样的谚语：
It is not work that kills, but worry.劳动不伤人，忧虑才伤人。巧借谚语，解读文化
语言是文化的载体。语言深深地扎根于文化的土壤中，离开了特定文化背景的语言是不存在的，二者血肉相连，不可分割。学习英语就要了解英语国家的文化。英语谚语与英语国家特定的历史、经济、文化、生活、风俗习惯、宗教信仰、地理环境等有着密切关系;透过英语谚语的表层，便可了解所承载它的文化背景，可探究英语国家的生活内容和生活方式以及在此基础上所产生的思想内容和思维方式，这是深层次掌握英语的有效途径。此外，中外之间存在着文化差异，汉语中也有许多谚语，教师可以通过两种语言中谚语的比较，来更好地理解英语。例如：
Rats desert a sinking ship.船沉鼠儿逃。（汉语中有“树倒猢狲散。”）
Two heads are better than one.两人智慧胜一人。（汉语中有“三个臭皮匠，顶个诸葛亮。”）
When the cat is away, the mice will play.猫儿不在，鼠儿作怪。（汉语中有“老虎不在家，猴子称霸王。”）
Rome was not built in a day.罗马非一日建成。（汉语中有“冰冻三尺非一日之寒。”）
Every Jack must have his Jill.（相当于汉语“有情人终成眷属。”）
Jack of all trades，master of none.样样皆通，样样稀松。
以上最后两例中的Jack和Jill就相当于汉语的“张三”和“李四”，我们只有了解中、英两种语言的深刻内涵和文化差异，才能很好地把握谚语的真正意义，也才能在使用时收到意想不到的效果。巧借谚语，塑造心灵
在语言教学中，教师应积极有效地渗透品德教育，才能有助于形成健全的情感、态度、价值观。这也是中学英语课程标准的基本目标之一。教育的最终目标是使学生既成才又成人，我们在努力提高学生学业水平的同时，要时时处处注重对学生品德的培养，人格的塑造，使他们成为社会的有用人才。很多英语谚语可以引申出更深刻、更普遍的生活道理和人生哲理。它教人守德、惜时、为善和求真；劝人淡泊名利、志存高远和勇于进取，具有深刻的教育意义。[2]
教学中，笔者用“One today is worth two tomorrows.（一个今天胜过两个明天。）”告诫学生珍惜今日，发愤求学；用“A life without a purpose is a ship without a rudder.（人生无目的，犹如船失去了舵。）”激励学生树立理想，勇于追求；用“All things are easy that are done willingly.（做事乐意，诸事容易。）”教育学生培养兴趣，主动学习；用“He who questions nothing learns nothing.（无所问者无所获。）”鼓励学生善于思考，勤于发问；用“He who laughs last laughs best.（谁笑到最后，谁笑得最好。）”鼓励学生坚持到底，不懈追求；用“Honesty is the best policy.（诚实才是上策。）”告诉学生待人真诚，求真务实；用“It is not helps, but obstacles, not facilities but difficulties, that make men.（造就人的，不是帮助，而是磨难，不是方便，而是困难。）”告诫学生不畏困难，迎头赶上；用“The first test of a truly great man is his humility.（一个真正伟大的人，对他的第一个考验就是看他是否谦逊。）”告诫学生不要骄傲，愈战愈勇；用“Fortune smiles upon the brave and frowns upon the coward.（幸运喜欢勇敢的人，而不喜欢怯懦的人。）”“No way is impossible to courage.（勇敢面前没有通不过的路。）”勉励学生学会自信，勇敢前进。[3]
毫无疑问，巧借英文谚语，能极大地激发学生学习英语的兴趣，有效地突破教学的难点；能帮助学生丰富词汇、培养语感；能使学生树立信心、不怕困难、乐于合作，形成积极向上的品格……只要运用恰当，英文谚语，必将成为英语教学中一道亮丽的风景！
非谓语动词作主语
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.早睡早起，使人健康、富有又明智。

第四篇：英文谚语
1.引言
谚语是成语的一种特殊类型。但它不同于其他种类的成语。谚语是语义相对完整的固定句子，通俗简练、生动活泼，使用时可作为句子成分，也可作为独立的交际单位，表达完整的思想。有传授经验教训的作用。
在一个民族的语言中，谚语扮演着不可或缺的角色，它具有重要的使用价值，用的好能使语言增色，文笔增辉。然而，作为一定文化背景下的产物，谚语可以启迪人生、指导人们的行为、传授经验、进行道德教育、宣传鼓动等社会功能。谚语的价值不仅仅囿于此，通过它还能了解一个民族的文化。那么英语谚语的文化价值表现在哪些方面呢？本文就此作简要论述。
2.谚语的文化价值
2.1 谚语反映大不列颠民族的历史
社会历史的发展对语言的影响是巨大的，随着时代的变迁，旧的语言逐渐衰亡，新的语言不断产生。在语言的发展过程中，历史文化的痕迹主要残留在习语当中，翻开一本中型英语词典，在 “Rome”（罗马）的词条下就会找到至少三条与“罗马”有关的谚语：
Do in Rome as the Romans do.（在罗马就要像罗马人一样生活。比喻：入乡随俗）
Rome was not built in a day.（罗马不是一天建成的。比喻：伟业非一日之功）
All roads lead to Rome（条条道路通罗马。比喻：殊途同归）
公元前六世纪，罗马人征服不列颠岛，其后占领不列颠岛长达400年之久罗马文化与风俗逐渐渗入不列颠，形成一个不列颠拉丁文化。罗马人走后，他们的文化及其对不列颠的影响仍然留在不列颠岛上，以上三条谚语可见罗马帝国昔日的辉煌。
大不列颠岛除了被罗马帝国侵占过以外，还曾先后被日耳曼部落、诺曼底族侵占过，所以，英语中有很多来自拉丁语、法语、西班牙语等欧洲语言的谚语。
来自拉丁语语的谚语有：
Fortune favors the brave.（勇敢者交好运）
There is no rule without an exception.（没有一条规则没有例外）
来自法语的谚语有:
Don’t put the cart before the horse.(不要本末倒置)
Once is no custom.（一次不是习惯）
Nurture is above nature.（教育生于天赋）
来自西班牙语的谚语有：
A cold April the barn will fill.（四月寒冷谷满仓）
He has two stomachs to eat and one to work.（他有两个肚子吃，只有一个肚子做工作。意为“好吃懒做”）
2.2 谚语反映大不列颠的地理位置
英国是一个岛国，位于欧洲西部大西洋中的不列颠诸岛上，英国所处的这样一个岛多的位置，对其自身的发展具有重要的意义。在这样的地理环境中，海上运输在英国运输业中占有特殊位置，因此许多英国谚语与航海有关。这些谚语大部分都是水手在长期航海生活中创造和使用的，既是水手们的经验之谈，直接适用于航海，又具有广泛的意义。例如：If the rain comes before the wind, lower your topsails, and take them in;if the wind comes before the rain, lower you topsails, and hoist them again.（如果先下雨后刮风，就收下你的中桅帆；如果先刮风后下雨，就把中桅帆再扬起。）这条谚语不仅指导水手何时扬帆，收帆而且是一种普遍的气象常识，它告诉人们，雨后刮风，雨要不停地下，而雨前刮风，雨下不长。
再如Hoist sail when the wind is fair.（趁着好风扬起帆）具有普遍的指导意义，它教育人们，要利用好机会干事情，趁热打铁，乘风破浪，机不可失，时不再来。A good sailor may mistake in a dark night.（好水手在黑夜航行也会出错）The good seaman is known in bad weather.（坏天气才能使出好水手）等。
捕鱼业在英国经济中占有相当重要的地位，为英语留下不少与渔业有关的谚语
All is fish that comes to his net.（进到网里的都是鱼）这条谚语的比喻意义是“任何有用的东西或有好处的事都来者不拒”，含有贬义。The best fish smell when they are three days old.（再好的鱼三天也变臭）比喻“在一起相处得太久，再好的朋友都会生厌。
The best fish swim near the bottom.（好鱼居水底）比喻“有价值的东西不会轻易得到”.Fish begins to stink at the head.（鱼要腐烂头先臭。比喻意义与汉语谚语“上梁不正下梁歪”相似）
He who would catch fish must not mind getting wet.（要像抓鱼就不能怕弄湿衣。比喻意义与汉语谚语“要吃龙肉，就得亲自下海”相似）

2.3 谚语反映不列颠民族的风俗习惯
风俗习惯是一个地区的人的生活方式，它包括很多、很广，涉及社会生活的各个方面。它既受到一个民族的政治、经济、宗教、文学艺术等方面的影响，又反过来影响这些方面。一个民族的语言作为这个民族的文化的一个特殊组成部分，必然反映出该民族的风俗习惯，谚语更是与民族的风俗习惯紧密相关。
任何一个民族都有自己喜爱的动物，宠物文化有鲜明的地域性、民族性。中英两国人民都有养狗的习惯，但两国人对狗有不同的传统看法。英国人对狗有好感，认为狗是忠实可靠的朋友。因此，英语中有许多关于狗的谚语：Let the sleeping dogs lie(让睡觉的狗躺着。比喻“莫惹事生非；别自找麻烦”)Every dog has his day(每只狗都有它的好时光。比喻“人人皆有得意日”。)Love me, love my dog(爱屋及乌)等等。而中国人一般厌恶鄙视这种动物，常常用狗来形容和比喻坏人坏事，比如：狗拉耗子，多管闲事；狗掀门帘全凭一张嘴；狗眼看人低；好狗不挡道等。
2.4 谚语反映不列颠岛多雨多雾的气候
大不列颠地处欧洲大陆西部的中纬度，是典型的温带海洋性气候。气候特点是雨量充沛，风大雾多。英国不仅经常下雨，而且雨下得很大。因此产生谚语It never rains but it pours.（不雨则已，一雨倾盆）。这条谚语的比喻意义是“倒霉的事情总是一起发生的”相当于汉语成语“祸不单行”的意思。Small rain lays great dust.（小雨压大尘）比喻“小的东西也可派上用场“。另外，雨过天晴，天空会格外美丽：After rain comes fair weather.这条谚语告诉人们：“困难过后，胜利就会到来。”
大不列颠岛不仅雨多，而且雾多。过去伦敦素有“雾都”之称。多雾的天气也给英语留下不少谚语。When the mist comes from the hill, then good weather it doth spill;when the mist comes from the sea, then good weather it will be.(雾从山上来，好天要变坏；雾从海上来，好天气会来).气象对农业生产至关重要，农民在长期与天奋斗的实践中，总结了关于气象的经验，也反映在有关的谚语中，A snow year, a rich year.(下雪的一年，丰收的一年)Cast not a clout till May be out.（到了五月末，才把棉衣脱）For a morning rain leave not your journey.（早雨不耽搁旅行）.Evening red and morning grey, are the signs of a fine day.（晚霞和晨雾是晴天的征兆）A misty morning may have a fine day.（有雾的早晨可能是晴天）When the wind is in the east, it’s neither good for man nor beast.（风起东方，人畜不安）When the wind is in the west, the weather’s at the best.（风起西方，气候最佳）。
2.5 谚语反映大不列颠的币制和度量衡制
反映大不列颠币制的谚语有：in for a penny, in for a pound.（一旦开始就干到底；一不做，二不休）Penny wise and pound foolish.（小事聪明，大事糊涂）Take care of the pence, and the pounds will take care of themselves.（小事谨慎，大事自成）Give him an inch and he’ll take an ell.（他得寸进尺）这几条谚语中的penny, pound, inch是大不列颠的货币单位和度量衡。
3.结束语
综上所述，可以看出英语谚语中的文化印迹是很明显的，可以通过对谚语的溯源分析和分类研究来考察大不列颠文化。当然并非每条谚语都有它的文化含义，但是确实有不少谚语能够反映出大不列颠文化的面貌及其发展过程，因此可以说，英语谚语具有重要的文化价值，是研究大不列颠文化的重要材料，虽然不是唯一的材料。
