ABSTRACT The development of people's ability totranslate figurative speech was studied, using sentences containing metaphors, dual function words, and proverbs, aspresented in classroom workbooks. One hundred twentychildren from first, third, fifth, and seventh grades wereasked to describe the meaning of each figurative word orphrase placed in context. Responses were scored on a fourpoint scale indicating the extent to which the child used aliteral or figurative translation. Significant effects betweengrade levels and figurative conditions were found, indicatingthat the ability to translate figurative speech proceeds alonga developmental hierarchy of language comprehension. Themajority of third grade children were able to translate metaphors and dual function words into figurative language successfully. The ability to translate proverbs required a levelof comprehension that does not appear in most childrenuntil seventh grade, as suggested by recent review of the psychological literature onmetaphor suggests a strong relationship betweenmetaphor comprehension and Piaget's cognitive stagesof thought development (3). Piagetian theory suggeststhat children from seven to twelve years of age developa broad range of transformational skills that allows themto operate on reality, building a repertoire of symbolsand signs (8). This display of cognitive growth representsan enormous expansion of power and abstraction in thatit frees children from the literal aspects of their percep and Piaget suggest that the capacity for poeticusage and the ability to operate on linguistic elementsmay be the last facet of language to develop (3). Theauthors' experiences in third grade classrooms, whileobserving children's understanding of figurative speechas presented in reading workbooks, revealed a wide rangeof abilities in the children's interpretation of metaphorsand proverbs at the concrete operations period of development. Some children had an immediate grasp of the multiple meanings of terms, while others, regardless of theamount of explanation given, could not override theircognitive ties to the literal suggests that the capacity to understandmetaphoric speech occurs at an age beyond the preschoollevel (5). An early study investigated the development ofchildren's ability to understand dual function words,terms that have a joint reference in language to bothphysical and psychological data (1). For example, suchwords as "cold" and "warm" denote thermal propertiesand can serve a dual function in describing psychologicalaspects of people. The authors suggested that these termsare an elementary instance of metaphorical thinking andinvestigated the order in which children's understandingof dual terms emerged. Results indicated that childrenfrom three to seven are sensitive only to the literal translation, while seven- to eight-year olds demonstrate thebeginning of the ability to use the psychological sense ofthe terms. The ability to state the dual function of theterms was clearly developed in the twelve-year-old group(for example, "hard things and hard people are bothunmanageable").Further work examined the ability of preschool children to make metaphoric links, to perceive relationshipsamong disparate phenomena (6). Children, ages three tonineteen, were asked to indicate their knowledge ofliteral meanings of word pairs and then project them ontosensory domains using metaphoric skills. In contrast toearlier findings, these results indicated that the capacityfor metaphoric association between sensory modalitiesand adjectives was evident in young recent investigation found a developmental trendtoward the comprehension of metaphors, though it concluded that not until the age of ten were children ableto demonstrate metaphoric understanding of dual function words (12).The ability to understand proverbs has been explainedby Piaget as part of the development of cognitive thinking (10). He proposed that children from nine to elevenyears of age use a simple projection of the proverb intosentences by process of immediate fusion. At this level,there is no analysis of detail in comprehending proverbs,but a general fusion of two propositions without analysisof their meanings. Piaget believed that this phenomenonprecedes the development of logical thinking, that theability to translate proverbs does not occur until theformal operations present study examined the relationship amongmetaphors, dual function words, and proverbs, specificallylooking at children's ability to translate classroom materialpresented in context.

我觉得写个谚语反映文化的题目吧,日本的历史、文化,你们布兜有学过吗
去学校图书馆,找相关的论文来参考比如:万方、维普……
我建议LZ写一个类似<<异国语言文化的艺术--汉语与日语谚语比较>>这样的题目~ 感觉很可写~ 记得以前老师提过日语中的很多谚语与汉语中的表达方式有很微妙的差别~ 从这个角度来分析论证的话~ 很有写头~ 比如:汉语里讲:瘦死的骆驼比马大日语却说:腐った鲷比如从这个来分析的话~ 可以写写日本人与水物有很深的渊源云云~再比如:汉语讲:欲速则不达日语讲:急げば回れ(大概^^) 可以从这个例子来分析日本人和中国人看事情的角度~ 中国人说这句话~ 讲的意思是要循序渐进~ 稳中求胜~ 而日本人是从事先保证充足的余裕,这样一个角度来看的~ 建议LZ多参考下~ 在下感觉很有发掘潜力

英汉日常俗语比较
英汉日常俗语比较,中国的汉语有着悠久的历史,在相同的意思的情况下可以用很多种不同的汉字来描述,但是相比较英语就比较单一,因此中国的一些俗语翻译起来就比较麻烦,以下是英汉日常俗语比较的分享。
最相似的一类,其表达方式与内容几乎完全相同,看起来就好像是直接的翻译.比如:
Tostrikewhiletheironishot。
趁热打铁.
Goodluckwouldnevercomeinpairs。
福不双至.
Fireprovesgold,adversityprovesmen。
烈火显真金,逆境识英雄.

饱汉不知饿汉饥.
Easiersaidthandone。
说时容易做时难.
Idlenessistherootofallevil。
懒惰是万恶之源.
Wallhasears。
隔墙有耳.
这类对应谚语,从形式上几乎看不出任何文化差异.在谚语的起源上,有些甚至可能是相互的.借鉴或翻译.东西方文化交流的比较研究,或许会提供一些证据.但不同文化中能有如此相通的谚语流传,也说明人类社会的文化积累过程有很多基本的共同进程.
还有一类谚语,所表达的含义完全相同,但所隐喻于的事物略有文化上的差异.比如:
Betterbetheheadofadogthanthetailofalion。
宁做鸡头,不做凤尾.
Theforemostdogcatchesthehare。
早起的鸟儿有虫吃.
Everypotterpraiseshisownpot。
老王卖瓜,自卖自夸.
Thefoxpreysfarthestfromhome。
兔子不吃窝边草.
Theproofofthepuddingisintheeating。
要知道梨子的滋味,最好是亲口尝一尝.
Oneswallowdoesnotmakeasummer。
一花独放不是春.

狗嘴里吐不出象牙
Hethatcomesofahenmustscrape。
老鼠的儿子会打洞.

不进则退.
Hethathadnocrossdeservesnocrown。
不吃苦中苦,难得人上人.
Jackofalltrades,masterofnone。
博而不专.

Topayhimbackinhisowncoin。
即以其人之道,还治其人之身这类谚语本质上和第二类相同,但不是借用具体事物,而是用特定的语言来表达某种经验,思想。
I am grateful to several people for their generous help in my study for the master抯 degree and work on proverbs, either recently or in the past: in particular, my supervisor, Prof. Zhou Fangzhu, whose gracious encouragement and help must be acknowledged in the first place. And he has led me into the field of translation and offered me valuable advice for my thesis research, without which, the completion of the thesis would have been impossible. I cannot wait to express my heart-felt thanks to Prof. Zhou in whom I find an admirable combination of intellectual profundity and personal indebtedness is due especially to Prof. Chen Zhengfa and Prof. Tian Debei, whose great attainments in the field of translation have granted me inspiration in writing the , I would also extend my heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Hong Zengliu and Prof. Zhu Yue whose lectures have nourished me in different fields of English but not the least, a word of thanks to the faculty of School of Foreign Studies of Anhui University as well as to my colleagues.

The definition by Longman Modern English Dictionary is 揳 brief familiar maxim of folk wisdom, usually compressed in form, often involving a bold image and frequently a jingle that catches the memory.?The definition given by 辞海 is: 撌煊锏囊恢郑�餍杏诿窦涞募蛄吠ㄋ锥�挥幸庖宓挠锞洹4蠖喾从橙嗣裆�詈投氛�木�椤H纭�硕嗔ζ胪粕降梗�谌耸安窕鹧娓摺�取Q栌镆彩敲窦湮难У囊恢中问健� An English patron named Robert South defined proverb in his book Sermons like this: What a proverb, but the experience and observation of several ages, gathered and summed up in one Wang Qin, in his book谚语.歇后语概论, defines proverb in this way, 撗栌锸侨嗣袢褐谏�疃氛�木�樽芙? 是具有传授经验和教训劝戒功能, 流传于人民群众口头中的现成语.2From these definitions, we may find out the common grounds shared by different definers. That is, a proverb, which succinctly sums up human experience and observation of the world, states a general truth and gives advice or warning. A proverb, often involving a bold image, musical rhythm and compressed form, can bring reality and vividness to the readers and so they are very easy to are many proverbs about proverbs themselves. Some of them are about the values of proverbs such as A proverb has contents of gold; Proverbs are the wisdom of the ages3; 名花添春色,谚语增智慧;十句谚语十句真.4 From them we may see that proverbs have something in them and they can give people valuable advice or warning. Some proverbs are about their effect on language such as Proverbs are the lamps to words; A proverb is an ornament to language; 泉水最清,谚语最精;美丽的季节是春天,美丽的语言是谚语. These proverbs reveal that proverbs can make language more colorful and beautiful. Still, some others are about the origin of proverbs as Proverbs are the daughter of daily life; Proverbs are the children of experience; 丰收在劳动中获得,谚语在实践中获得;蓓蕾在枝叶上孕成,谚语在生活中提炼.Because proverbs are the summing up of folk wisdom and they are usually very pithy, they have universal appeal. People love to pick up proverbs when they try to reason things out and the proper use of proverbs can make their views more convincing. Proverbs are the cream of a language and they are 搕he wisdom of the streets and the alley? Lord John Rushell, who was the Premier Minister of England during the period of 1846-1852, once said, 揂 proverb is one man抯 wit and all men抯 wisdom.?The great writer Francis Bacon also spoke highly of proverbs, 揋enius wit and spirit of a nation are discovered by their proverbs.?And proverbs also won the enthusiastic approval of William Shakespeare, the great writer: A proverb never stale in thrifty English people comment their proverbs like this: What flowers are to gardens, spices to food, gems to a garment and stars to heaven, such are proverbs interwoven in the are the crystal of the national wisdom and experience. They are an important part of a national language and they appropriately reflect the relation between culture and language. They have been connected closely with the national characteristics ever since their coming into being and in their later development. Proverbs reflect many aspects of the nation such as the historical stories, natural styles and features, cultural traditions, native conventions and the religious belief, etc. As a folk literature form, they carry a vivid color of a national culture and are beneficial to study a nation comprehensively such as the national history, folk-customs and language. In this chapter, the relationship between culture and language will be discussed in order to penetrate some insights into and culture are highly integrated with each other. It is generally acknowledged that language and culture are inseparable and mutually influenced so that one cannot understand or appreciate the one without knowledge of the other. Brown (1980: 124) describes the two like this: ?a language is a part of culture and a culture is a part of a language; the two are intricately interwoven so that one can not separate the two without losing the significance of either language or culture.?/P>Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language, they maintain, culture would not be possible. In the broadest sense, language is the symbolic representation of people and it comprises their historical and cultural backgrounds as well as their approaches to life and their ways of living and thinking. Therefore, language can help people express their understanding of the world and attitudes toward the world. Language can record the development of a nation and a society. People can learn culture left behind by their ancestors through the acquisition of language, so language becomes the embodiment of culture. Language is a part of culture, perhaps best defined as the totality of beliefs and practices of a society. This makes language the distinctive feature of human society, something indispensable for the functioning of a culture and for handing it down to succeeding the other hand, culture has an important influence on language. Language is influenced and shaped by culture. It is the carrier and a part of culture and reflects short, language and culture are tightly interacted with each other in the sense that 1) culture includes language; language is a member of the family of culture; 2) that language is the carrier of culture, it records all the material and spiritual achievements of human beings in , as a part of language, are also a kind of social phenomenon and are closely integrated with the society and culture. They not only represent a kind of cultural phenomenon, but also record culture and its development. They cannot exist out of culture. Their coming into being, growth and death are more or less caused by cultural influences. Proverbs can provide interesting clues to a people抯 geography, history, social organization, social views and attitudes and they have great cultural values. For this reason, proverbs are is generally acknowledged that different peoples have great differences in their cultures. But since different peoples live on the same earth with roughly similar needs and some of them have even experienced similar social development stages, their experiences, emotional reflection and observation of the world are in many aspects similar. This shows that different peoples may have cultural generality besides cultural differences. Chinese and English peoples are with no exception. Their cultural differences and generality, on the other hand, unavoidably leave their traces in their , as the cream of a language, inevitably carry the imprint of cultural differences and generality. The differences and generality respectively lead to the dissimilarities and similarities between Chinese and English proverbs and make a comparative study of the proverbs possible.
语言是思维的表达方式,不同的语言特征往往反映着不同地域、民族的思维习惯差异。下文是我为大家整理的关于英汉语言对比方面论文的 范文 ,欢迎大家阅读参考!关于英汉语言对比方面论文篇1 浅探英汉委婉语对比 摘 要: 本文应用范畴和构造手段对英汉委婉语进行了对比,通过对比英汉两种语言中的委婉语可以了解委婉语不仅是一种语言现象,更是一种社会 文化 现象。研究英汉委婉语的异同,有助于我们了解英语国家的社会风俗与文化。 关键词: 英汉委婉语 应用范畴 构造手段 一、引言 委婉语euphemism源自希腊语,由词头“eu”(good)和词干“phemism”(speech)构成,意为吉利之语(words of good omen)或优雅的说法(good speech)。委婉语是人类语言使用过程中的一种普遍现象。 通过对比英汉两种语言中的委婉语,我们可以了解委婉语不仅是一种语言现象,更是社会文化现象。委婉语的产生和发展是不同社会心理和语言因素共同作用的结果。委婉语反映了不同社会的发展、价值观、道德观和社会文化。 二、英汉委婉语应用范畴的对比 1.关于疾病的委婉语 生病是人们忌讳说的,因而东西方人常常用委婉语表达。在现代英语中,多用trouble婉指病,如heart trouble,lung trouble等。cancer的委婉语为“the Big C”或“long illness”,“terminally ill”。性病在英语里被称为“social disease”,“the French disease”,“certain disease”,“communicable disease”。汉语里人们把这种病称为“花柳病”、“富贵病”、“那种病”。汉语中,我们把“生病”称作“身体不好”、“身体欠安”,说“癌症”为“不治之症”。 而在身体缺陷方面,英语中婉称crippled(残疾)为physically handicapped(有生理缺陷的)或者用disabled,the inconvenienced表示crippled(瘸子),用imperfect hearing(听觉不完美)代替the deaf(聋子),用visually retarded(视力有障碍的)代替the blind(瞎子、盲人)。在汉语中,四肢残疾称“手脚不灵便、走路不便”,偏瘫称“半身不遂”等,秃顶婉称“谢顶”,耳朵聋称“耳背、耳朵不灵”。其他的还有“挨了一下子”、“划了个口子”等代称“受伤”。 2.关于性的委婉语 从古至今,各民族对性爱及与其相关的一些说法均持谨慎态度。随着人类的进步,也出现了一些开放性的说法,但其主流仍然采用回避、模糊、委婉的说法。英语中谈及性行为的委婉语有make love,to have sex with,to go to bed with etc.汉民族历来对性行为持封闭态度,谈及性行为时总是遮遮掩掩,含混模糊。汉语中表达性爱的委婉语有:同房、夫妻生活、房事、云雨之事、那种事等。在谈到性行为不检点时,英语中有free love,trial marriage,love companion,mixed singles等模糊与中性化的委婉语。汉语中则采用较严厉的贬义词抨击不检点的性行为。如男盗女娼、三者插足、寻花问柳、水性杨花等。对于妓女这一令人鄙弃的角色,西方社会给予了许多雅号,如,street walker,street girl,a woman of the town,pavement princess。谈到怀孕时,英汉两种语言均用委婉语,如英语很少直接说pregnancy(怀孕),而说be in the family way,in an interesting condition,in a delicate condition,knitting little bootees etc.汉语则说,有喜了、要当妈妈了、身怀六甲等。 3.关于死亡的委婉语 古今中外,无论东西方,“死亡”都是一个避讳莫深的话题。人们在语言交际中尽量回避“死亡”二字而尽可能用委婉语代替。虽然英汉语中都有很多表示“死亡”的委婉语,但其中的差异具体表现在: (1)英汉表达死的委婉语在体现社会地位上大相径庭。中国经历了几千年的封建社会,封建制度对中国文化影响颇深。天子死称“崩”,诸侯死称“薨”,大夫死曰“卒”,士死曰“不禄”。西方人笃信__,认为人都是上帝创造的,故生来人人平等。英语中有一条古老的格言:Popes,Kings,beggars,and thieves alike must die.头衔和地位并不能免人一死。在死神面前,卑贱者和高贵者一律平等。 (2)由不同的宗教文化带来的表达差异。英语中die的很多委婉语来自《圣经》,如to go to a better place/world(到一个更美好的地方、世界),to go to Heaven/Paradise(进入天国)。汉语中,入佛门的则说“迁化、圆寂、舍生”等;对信仰道教的则说“蝉脱、羽化、别驾、遁化”等。 (3)因价值观念的不同,英汉委婉语也不同。汉语中表“死亡”的委婉语还有褒贬之分,如壮烈牺牲、慷慨就义、为国捐躯等。英语国家的民族英雄常常受人敬仰,在英语里找到一些表示为国家或事业而捐躯的委婉词语,如bite the dust/the ground,fire one’s last shot,give one’s life,kiss the dust lay down one’s life。 4.有关“低微职业”的委婉语 在英汉这两种语言里,职业也是一个敏感的话题,因为它直接反映了一个人的社会和经济地位。为提高某些职业的社会地位,人们往往使用委婉语加以美化。这种现象在现代英语中俯拾皆是:把maid(女仆)或housekeeper(女管家)称为domestic help(家务助手)、day-help(白天帮工)或live-in help(住家帮手);一般服务员也升级为service manager(服务管理人员);butcher(屠夫)也改称为meat technologist(肉类技术专家);garbage collector(垃圾收集工)也称sanitation engineer(环境卫生工程师)。 现代汉语也有类似的职业委婉语,“理发师“成了“发型设计师”,理发店也随之改成了发型设计中心,“佣人”成了“家政人员”,“厨子”婉称为“大厨”、“大师傅”,用“服务员”代替“跟班、听差、跑堂”,“司机”代替“车夫”等。这些职业委婉语的使用一方面反映出人们文明程度的提高和追求高雅的心理趋势,另一方面体现出现代人的尊重意识和平等观念。 5.关于年龄上的委婉语 英语中有关老的委婉语很多,这与其文化密切相关。美国文化以个人主义为中心,讲究独立与隐私,子女成人后即与父母分居,老人生活孤单寂寞,于是老成了生活中的一大忌。因此,英语中有许多关于老的委婉语。如:senior citizen,advantage in the age,the mature,seasoned man等。 同时人们把晚年称为golden years(黄金年华),养老院并非理想去处,也被婉称为a home for adults(成人之家)、a rest home(休养所)等。然而在中国,情况却正好相反,因为中国历来有尊老敬老的传统观念和价值观。在中国,“老”字带敬意,是资历和地位的象征。人们有时还倚老卖老,以老为荣。 如什么“老板、老大、老总、老师、老师傅”等。汉语中类似“年老”的委婉语也很多,如:古稀之年、高龄、高寿、桑榆、夕阳红等。同时,中国人还常把老字放在姓氏的前面或者后面,来称呼那些德高望重的老年人,以表尊重,如:老赵、王老。这体现了中国重视老人的价值观,而这些在英美文化中是不可思议的。可见,在不同的文化背景中,人们对同一事物的态度可能截然相反。 三、英汉委婉语构造手段的对比 由于英汉民族的语言不同,两种语言在文化、语言形式和 思维方式 等方面存在较大的差异。英汉委婉语的差别正是由于两种语言的语言特点差异所造成的,主要体现在英汉委婉语各自的词汇形态特点、语义特点和语法特点等方面。英语是一种拼音文字,通过语音及语法手段构成委婉语,或拼写形式的变异,达到委婉的目的,汉语却侧重于词汇手段。 英语委婉语的构成方式: (1)缩略(Abbreviation):ladies代替ladies’ room,婉指女厕所。 (2)尾脱落(Apocopation):lav代替lavatory(厕所)。 (3)首字母缩略(Initiating):.代替body odor(狐臭)。 (4)逆生(Backforming):ecnop 代替ponce,婉指“拉皮条的人”。 (5)音节或字母重复(Reduplication)pee-pee=piss(小便)。 (6)音节扭曲(Phonetic Distortion)Cripes=Christ(基督)、God(上帝)。 (7)混合词(Blend word):gezunda=This object“goes under”the bed.(那东西放在床底下,即“夜壶”)。 (8)小词(Diminutive):heinie=hind end(后端,即“臀部”)。 汉语委婉语独特的构成方式: (1)拆字法。如:张俊氏道:“胡子老官,这事你作法便了,做成了,少不得言身寸。”(“谢”拆开后即“言”、“身”、“寸”)。(《儒林外史》第32回) (2) 歇后语 法。人们在做一些消极评论时,常会借助一些歇后语来缓冲过于直白的语气,以达到委婉的目的。比如骂人时说:茶壶里的水(滚开)。 (3)换字法。例如,北方话口语中常说“扯蛋”,书面语转写时,换成“扯淡”。 (4)符号替换法。例如:“×你妈!你怎么不说话,哑巴吗?” (5)反义法。所谓反义就是指与禁忌语的意义相反。如广州人把“气死我”说成“激生我”;把“笑死我”说成“笑生我”。显然,生与死是 反义词 ,这里用“生”避开了“死”。 三、结语 笔者对英语和汉语中的委婉语从应用范畴与构造手段两方面进行了比较,试图找到两种语言中的差异和相似之处。委婉语不仅仅是修辞现象、语言学现象,更蕴含浓厚文化内涵、民族特征。在各个国家的日常交往及工作中,委婉语的运用极为广泛,它可以润滑和协调人际关系,使交际活动顺利进行。充分认识其构造手段、形式特点、发展规律将有助于我们了解英语国家的社会风俗与文化,从而增强跨文化交际的能力。 参考文献: [1]邓志昌,刘润清.语言与文化[M].北京:外语教学与研究出版社,1989.

在前面的帖子中,我提到一句中国谚语“三个臭皮匠,赛过诸葛亮”。这个帖子发表后,网友vmax给我留言,问我这个谚语是否可以翻译成下面的句子。我回答他说,当然可以,但我不鼓励您这样做,主要原因是:您的译文,我们中国人看得懂,但外国人看不懂,他们根本不知道诸葛亮是什么人,如果您想让外国人也能看得懂,您就必须在译文的后面,额外增加一段注释,介绍一下《三国演义》,再介绍一下诸葛亮,只有这样,外国人才能真正理解这个谚语,您说麻烦不麻烦?! Three cobblers are more clever than Mr. Zhuge Liang.(三个皮匠会比诸葛亮先生更聪明。) 其实,我们中国的许多谚语,都有对应的英语谚语,两者意思相同或者相似,完全可以互相代替,一般情况下,不需要我们自己翻译。比如“三个臭皮匠,赛过诸葛亮”这个谚语,就有一个对应的英语谚语,请看下面第一行。另外一个与《三国演义》人物有关的谚语“说曹操,曹操到”,也有对应的英语谚语,请看下面第二行。 ①Two heads are better than one.(两个脑袋比一个脑袋更好。) ②When we talk about the devil, he will appear.(当我们谈论魔鬼的时候,他将会出现。) 看到这里,有些朋友可能会问:在哪里可以找到这些对应的英语谚语呢?我曾在北京王府井的外文书店中,看到过这方面的书,书名好象叫做《汉英谚语词典》(时间长了,记不清楚了),我们可以从这种词典中,查出大多数中国谚语的对应英语谚语。现在国内是“英语热”,英语图书(包括英语词典)多如牛毛,我想这种词典应当不难找到。 一个中国谚语,只有在词典中找不到对应的英语谚语时,我们才考虑自己翻译,不过这种情况好象并不多见。比如“周瑜打黄盖,一个愿打,一个愿挨”这个谚语,我就一直没有找到对应的英语谚语,因此我把它翻译为: One is willing to sell, and the other is willing to buy.(一个人愿意卖,另外一个人愿意买。)

在前面的帖子中,我提到一句中国谚语“三个臭皮匠,赛过诸葛亮”。这个帖子发表后,网友vmax给我留言,问我这个谚语是否可以翻译成下面的句子。我回答他说,当然可以,但我不鼓励您这样做,主要原因是:您的译文,我们中国人看得懂,但外国人看不懂,他们根本不知道诸葛亮是什么人,如果您想让外国人也能看得懂,您就必须在译文的后面,额外增加一段注释,介绍一下《三国演义》,再介绍一下诸葛亮,只有这样,外国人才能真正理解这个谚语,您说麻烦不麻烦?! Three cobblers are more clever than Mr. Zhuge Liang.(三个皮匠会比诸葛亮先生更聪明。) 其实,我们中国的许多谚语,都有对应的英语谚语,两者意思相同或者相似,完全可以互相代替,一般情况下,不需要我们自己翻译。比如“三个臭皮匠,赛过诸葛亮”这个谚语,就有一个对应的英语谚语,请看下面第一行。另外一个与《三国演义》人物有关的谚语“说曹操,曹操到”,也有对应的英语谚语,请看下面第二行。 ①Two heads are better than one.(两个脑袋比一个脑袋更好。) ②When we talk about the devil, he will appear.(当我们谈论魔鬼的时候,他将会出现。) 看到这里,有些朋友可能会问:在哪里可以找到这些对应的英语谚语呢?我曾在北京王府井的外文书店中,看到过这方面的书,书名好象叫做《汉英谚语词典》(时间长了,记不清楚了),我们可以从这种词典中,查出大多数中国谚语的对应英语谚语。现在国内是“英语热”,英语图书(包括英语词典)多如牛毛,我想这种词典应当不难找到。 一个中国谚语,只有在词典中找不到对应的英语谚语时,我们才考虑自己翻译,不过这种情况好象并不多见。比如“周瑜打黄盖,一个愿打,一个愿挨”这个谚语,我就一直没有找到对应的英语谚语,因此我把它翻译为: One is willing to sell, and the other is willing to buy.(一个人愿意卖,另外一个人愿意买。)

ABSTRACT The development of people's ability totranslate figurative speech was studied, using sentences containing metaphors, dual function words, and proverbs, aspresented in classroom workbooks. One hundred twentychildren from first, third, fifth, and seventh grades wereasked to describe the meaning of each figurative word orphrase placed in context. Responses were scored on a fourpoint scale indicating the extent to which the child used aliteral or figurative translation. Significant effects betweengrade levels and figurative conditions were found, indicatingthat the ability to translate figurative speech proceeds alonga developmental hierarchy of language comprehension. Themajority of third grade children were able to translate metaphors and dual function words into figurative language successfully. The ability to translate proverbs required a levelof comprehension that does not appear in most childrenuntil seventh grade, as suggested by recent review of the psychological literature onmetaphor suggests a strong relationship betweenmetaphor comprehension and Piaget's cognitive stagesof thought development (3). Piagetian theory suggeststhat children from seven to twelve years of age developa broad range of transformational skills that allows themto operate on reality, building a repertoire of symbolsand signs (8). This display of cognitive growth representsan enormous expansion of power and abstraction in thatit frees children from the literal aspects of their percep and Piaget suggest that the capacity for poeticusage and the ability to operate on linguistic elementsmay be the last facet of language to develop (3). Theauthors' experiences in third grade classrooms, whileobserving children's understanding of figurative speechas presented in reading workbooks, revealed a wide rangeof abilities in the children's interpretation of metaphorsand proverbs at the concrete operations period of development. Some children had an immediate grasp of the multiple meanings of terms, while others, regardless of theamount of explanation given, could not override theircognitive ties to the literal suggests that the capacity to understandmetaphoric speech occurs at an age beyond the preschoollevel (5). An early study investigated the development ofchildren's ability to understand dual function words,terms that have a joint reference in language to bothphysical and psychological data (1). For example, suchwords as "cold" and "warm" denote thermal propertiesand can serve a dual function in describing psychologicalaspects of people. The authors suggested that these termsare an elementary instance of metaphorical thinking andinvestigated the order in which children's understandingof dual terms emerged. Results indicated that childrenfrom three to seven are sensitive only to the literal translation, while seven- to eight-year olds demonstrate thebeginning of the ability to use the psychological sense ofthe terms. The ability to state the dual function of theterms was clearly developed in the twelve-year-old group(for example, "hard things and hard people are bothunmanageable").Further work examined the ability of preschool children to make metaphoric links, to perceive relationshipsamong disparate phenomena (6). Children, ages three tonineteen, were asked to indicate their knowledge ofliteral meanings of word pairs and then project them ontosensory domains using metaphoric skills. In contrast toearlier findings, these results indicated that the capacityfor metaphoric association between sensory modalitiesand adjectives was evident in young recent investigation found a developmental trendtoward the comprehension of metaphors, though it concluded that not until the age of ten were children ableto demonstrate metaphoric understanding of dual function words (12).The ability to understand proverbs has been explainedby Piaget as part of the development of cognitive thinking (10). He proposed that children from nine to elevenyears of age use a simple projection of the proverb intosentences by process of immediate fusion. At this level,there is no analysis of detail in comprehending proverbs,but a general fusion of two propositions without analysisof their meanings. Piaget believed that this phenomenonprecedes the development of logical thinking, that theability to translate proverbs does not occur until theformal operations present study examined the relationship amongmetaphors, dual function words, and proverbs, specificallylooking at children's ability to translate classroom materialpresented in context.
