十个最常用的英语习语

英语习语知多少:十个最常用的英语习语 某天,朋友跟一个老外说起自己刚分手的女友,对方看他难过,拍了拍他的肩膀对他说:“Don't worry about it man, girls like that are a dime a dozen!” 后来朋友跟我说起这件事仍然愤愤不平,说老外把她女友说成只值一块二毛钱! 其实,“dime a dozen”跟“一块二毛钱”没有半毛钱关系。它是一句常见的英语习语,指的是something that is common and easy to obtain(天涯何处无芳草)。 和中文的成语一样,英文中也有数量众多的idioms,如果望文生义,可能就会产生交流中的误会。 话不多说,下面我们就一起来看看英文中最常用、最有趣的十个习语: 1. Piece of cake 例句:The assignment I just finished was a piece of cake. 这个例句说的并不是我刚完成的作业是烤一块蛋糕,而是指作业非常简单,a piece of cake就是指轻而易举的事。 2. Cost an arm and a leg 例句:That Louis Vuitton bag costs me an arm and a leg. 如果在LV买个包包要砍下自己的胳膊和腿,那这个社会就太可怕了! 其实,在英语中,如果说到某个东西要cost an arm and a leg,它表达的是某个东西非常expensive。 3. Break a leg 在你即将要走进考场对付讨厌的微积分考试前,你们班上成绩最好的那个同学突然走过来对你说了句“Break a leg!” “这个傲娇鬼”,你忍不住在心里暗暗抱怨,“成绩好就可以这样诅咒别人吗?” 但其实那个学习好的傲娇鬼却并不是在诅咒你,因为在英文中,break a leg 其实是good luck的意思! 4. Hit the books 例句:The final exam is coming, I might need to go to the library and hit the books.

句子大全之汉译英句子翻译常见问题解析

汉译英句子翻译常见问题解析 摘要:在英语学习过程中,句子的翻译一直都是学习者关注的 焦点问题。本文就英语的汉译英句子翻译中常见的、学习者容易犯 错的问题,比如词汇、句子结构、母语负迁移等进行归纳,有针对 性地给出例子,作出详细的分析与讲解。 关键词:汉译英句子翻译常见问题 学习任何一门外语,它的句子翻译总是处于关键的地位。对这 种情况,广大的英语教师都在探寻相对理想的解决途径。笔者根据 自己的教学经验,从考试及练习中抽取大学生英语句子翻译的例子,进行仔细分析,试着以目前学生英语句子翻译中存在的常见问题为 突破口,探索造成这些问题的原因,并且尝试总结解决这些问题的 途径,希望对学生句子翻译水平的提高起到促进作用。 1.词汇问题 词汇是学习及翻译任何一门外语的首要基础,要清楚明白地翻 译出原来句子的意思就必须有足够的词汇量作为基础。词汇量越大,翻译出来的句子就能够更加接近原句的意思。当然,在词汇量充足 的情况下,翻译出来的句子质量更高。我国的考试模式,客观题较多,主观题较少,使得教学侧重点倾向于为考试拿高分服务,在没 有本土语言环境的条件下,很多学生对所学词汇大都只是停留在认 得的阶段,就是看见一个单词能够想起它的意思,但是不能牢固掌 握单词的用法,出现以下问题。 1.1 词性拼写错误及词性误用问题 词性是任何阶段学习英语的重点,辨清词性对正确运用语言大 有帮助。一些学生在翻译句子的过程中,常常不注意分析词性或对 词的用法不明确,表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词 当动词用,等等。 例1:圣诞节期间,人们过得很愉快①。 during chrismas, people are happiness②. 分析:译文中的chrismas很显然是拼写错误,应该改为,christmas,且译文中的happiness明显是名词误用为形容词。当然,译文中还存在介词的不规范使用的问题。译文应该修正为:at christmas, people are happy. 1.2措词问题
