中英语言的习语比较

从汉英语言的习语看中英文化的差异舒前林（陕西师范大学国际汉学院陕西西安 710062）摘要: 习语( idiom)是某一语言在使用过程中形成的独特的固定的表达方式。本文试从汉英习语的角度来分析中英两个民族在地理环境、生产生活方式、风俗习惯、观念价值、宗教信仰、历史与文学传统等方面的诸多文化差异。本文要讨论的习语是广义的概念，包括谚语( proverb)、俚语( slang ) 、俗语 ( colloquialism )、成语、典故、歇后语等。关键词: 汉英习语; 中英文化差异; 一、引言汉英两种语言历史悠久, 包含着大量的习语, 它们或含蓄幽默、或严肃典雅, 不仅言简意赅, 而且形象生动, 妙趣横生, 给人一种美的享受。习语往往具有形象、简练、寓意深刻、机智幽默等特点，同时又具有极其丰富的文化底蕴。人类生活的客观世界有其共性，在长期的生活实践中积累的经验认识往往也有共通之处。因此我们在汉英语言中能够找到一些意义和文化涵义相同或相似的习语。例如,中英两个民族的人民在古代因缺乏科学知识, 都把人的“心脏”( heart) 当作灵魂、思维、情感的中枢, 因而在汉英两种语言中都出现了大批围绕“心脏”的习语。如with a heart to heart( 心情沉重) 、heart and soul( 全心全意) 、heart to heart( 心心相印) 。另外, 英国和中国人民相同的劳动经历也使这两个民族产生一些相同的人生经验：如Strike while the iron is hot（趁热打铁）；move haste,less speed ( 欲速则不达)；to pass fish eyes for pearls( 鱼目混珠) ；castles in the air（空中楼阁）；to fish in troubled waters（混水摸鱼）；to be on thin ice（如履薄冰）；to be out at elbows（捉襟见肘）；One boy is a boy，two boys half a boy，three boys no boy.（一个和尚挑水吃，两个和尚抬水吃，三个和尚没水吃。）。这样的例子当然还可以举出一些，但必须看到的是汉英民族文化分属东、西两种文化，汉语和英语也是两个很不相同的语言体系,像上段所列的这些习语在汉英习语中所占的比例较小，多数的习语都具有鲜明的民族特点，具有明显的文化差异，从而带来交流上的障碍。这些差异是多方面、多层次的，本文试图从汉英习语的文化差异角度，探讨中英文化的各个层面即物质文化、制度文化与精神文化诸方面存在的文化差异。上面所提的六个方面大致归属如下：地理环境、生产生活方式大致是物质文化范围，风俗习惯大致属制度文化的范围，观念价值、宗教信仰、历史与文学传统则可归于精神文化的范围。二、中英文化差异的诸方面内容

Do a nice guy, is a fickle face. 谎言像一朵盛开的鲜花，外表美丽，生命短暂。 A lie like a blooming flowers, appearance beautiful, life is short. 漂亮只能为别人提供眼福，却不一定换到幸福。 Beautiful can only provide pleasure to others, but not necessarily in happiness. 最漆黑的那段路，最痛苦的那段路，最终要自己走完。 The darkest period of road, the most painful it was, eventually to himself. 生活就像我的歌声，时而不靠谱，时而不着调。 Life is like my song, sometimes without spectrum, sometimes not.

中英习语

一、英汉习语中所反映的文化差异朱光潜先生在《谈翻译》一文中说："外国文学最难了解和翻译的第一是联想的意义……"，"它带有特殊的情感氛围，甚深广而微妙，在字典中无从找出，对文学却极要紧。如果我们不熟悉一国的人情风俗和文化历史背景，对于文字的这种意义就茫然，尤其是在翻译时这种字义最不易应付。"英国文化人类学家爱德华·泰勒在《原始文化》（1871）一书中，首次把文化作为一个概念提了出来，并表述为："文化是一种复杂，它包括知识、信仰、艺术、道德、法律、风俗以及其作社会上习得的能力与习惯。"可见文化的覆盖面很广，它是一个复要的系统。语言作为文化的一个组成部分，反映一个民族丰富多彩的方化现象。 1、生存环境的差异习语的产生与人们的劳动和生活密切相关。英国是一个岛国，历史上航海业曾一度领先世界；而汉民族在亚洲大陆生活繁衍，人们的生活离不开土地。比喻花钱浪费，大手大脚，英语是spend money like water ，而汉语是"挥金如土"。英语中有许多关于船和水的习语，在汉语中没有完全相同的对应习语，如to rest on one's oars （暂时歇一歇），to keep one's head above water （奋力图存），all at sea （不知所措）等等。在汉语的文化氛围中，"东风"即是"春天的风"，夏天常与酷署炎热联系在一起，"赤日炎炎似火烧"、"骄阳似火"是常被用来描述夏天的词语。而英国地处西半球，北温带，海洋性气候，报告春天消息的却是西风，英国著名诗人雪莱的《西风颂》正是对春的讴歌。英国的夏季正是温馨宜人的季节，常与 "可爱"、"温和"、"美好"相连。莎士比亚在他的一首十四行诗中把爱人比作夏天，Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?/Thou art more lovely and more temperate 。 2、习俗差异英汉习俗差异是多方面的，最典型的莫过于在对狗这种动物的态度上。狗在汉语中是一种卑微的动物。汉语中与狗有关的习语大都含有贬意："狐朋狗党"、"狗急跳墙"、"狼心狗肺"、"狗腿子"等，尽管近些年来养庞物狗的人数大大增加，狗的"地位"似乎有所改变，但狗的贬义形象却深深地留在汉语言文化中。而在西方英语国家，狗被认为是人类最忠诚的朋友。英语中有关狗的习语除了一部分因受其他语言的影响而含有贬义外，大部分都没有贬义。在英语习语中，常以狗的形象来比喻人的行为。如You are a lucky dog （你是一个幸运儿），Every dog has his day （凡人皆有得意日），Old dog will mot learn mew tricks （老人学不了新东西）等等。形容人"病得厉害"用sick as a dog ，"累极了"是dog-tired 。与此相反，中国人十分喜爱猫，用"馋猫"比喻人贪嘴，常有亲呢的成份，而在西方文化中，"猫"被用来比喻"包藏祸心的女人"。 3、宗教信仰方面与宗教信仰有关的习语也大量地出在在英汉语言中。佛教传入中国已有一千多年的历史，人们相信有"佛主"在左右着人世间的一切，与此有关的习语很多，如"借花献佛"、"闲时不烧香，临时抱佛脚"等。在西方许多国家，特别是在英美，人们信奉基督教，相关的习语如Good helps those who help themselves （上帝帮助自助的人），也有Go to hell （下地狱去）这样的诅咒。 · 全国格斗大赛开始· 银行卡· 沟通无极限手机· 魔法表情秀出百变心情· 全国格斗大赛开始· QQ
