『伍』 諺語、成語小故事英文翻譯,急急急急急急!
To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow
Once upon a time, an old farmer planted a plot of rice. Everyday he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day. But still, he thought they were growing too slowly. He got impatient with the young plants. "How could the plants grow faster?" He tossed in bed ring the night and could not sleep. Suddenly he hit upon an idea. He had an idea not wait for daybreak. He jumped out of the bed and dashed to the field. By the moonlight, he began working on the rice seedlings. One by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. When he finished pulling, it was already morning. Straightening his back, he said to himself, "What a wonderful idea! Look, how much taller the plants have grown one night!" With great satisfaction, he went back home. He told his son what he had done in a triumphant tone. His son was shocked. Now the sun had risen. The young man was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.
People now use " Ba Miao Zhu Zhang" to describe the behavior of those who are too eager to get something done only to make it worse. The idiom is a bit like the English proverb "Haste makes waste" ------to spoil things by excessive enthusiasm.
從前,有個農夫,種了稻苗後,便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田時,發覺那些稻苗長得非常慢。
他等得不耐煩,心想:「怎麼樣才能使稻苗長得高,長很快呢?
想了又想,他終了想到一個「最佳方法」,就是將稻苗撥高幾分。
經過一番辛勞後,他滿意地扛鋤頭回家休息。心想:明天稻苗長得一定更高了。
隔天早晨.一早起身,他迫不及待地起去稻田看他的「成果」。
哪知,他跑到稻田時,卻看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了

『柒』 有沒有英語小故事(有中文翻譯)英語諺語
1. 人山人海:在詩詞用語(poetic expression)里,老外也有使用:"a (the) sea of faces",頗有咱的"人山人海"的味道。例如:Looking out upon the sea of faces, Mr. A delivered a touching speech.(望著一片人山人海的聽眾,A先生發表一篇動人的演說。)Standing at his podium, President Clinton saw a sea of faces waving at him.(柯林頓總統站在講台上看到人山人海的人群揮手向他致意。)。可見,說話者通常要在台上或高處,才有"人海"的感覺。因此,可以說:"I saw a sea of faces from the top of the building. "但在平地的人群中,就不說:"I saw the sea of faces."也不說:"There is a sea of faces."只說:"I saw a large crowd of people."
2、家家有本難念的經:有人譯成:"Every family cooking - pot has a black spot."(意思是:每個家庭的鍋子都有黑色的污點。)這樣說法,老外恐怕不能充分了解。不過老外最常的說法是:"Many families have skeletons in the closet.(許多家庭的衣櫃里都有骨骸,骨骸就是指家醜。)";或者說:"Every family has its own source of shame.(每個家庭都有自己的醜事)";說白些,就是:"Every family has its own problem."
3、天下無不散的宴席:有人直譯為:"There are no feasts in the world which do not break up at last."老外聽後,也許很難體會其中意義。如果按照美語說法,也許更易理解:"All good things come to an end."(意思是:所有好的事情,總有結束的一天。);假如是指好友最後也有分別的一天,那麼可以說:"Eventually, all bosom friends will drift apart." (bosom friend是指知心的好友)
4、平時不燒香,臨時抱佛腳:有人照字直譯為:"When times are easy, we do not burn the incense,but when the trouble comes, we embrace the feet of the uddha." 這種說法,老外也會一知半解。美語里一般說法是:"WorshipGod every day; not just in times of adversity.(要每天敬拜神,不是只在困難時。)";對學生也可以說:"If you study hard every day, exams will not seem overwhelming.(如果你每天用功,考試就不會形成壓力。)"
5、掛羊頭,賣狗肉:有人照字直譯為:"He advertises mutton, but sells dog's flesh."或"He hangs up a sheep's head at the shopfront and sells dog meat."這兩種譯法,恐怕老外都難理解,尤其談到"狗肉",他們更會反感,因為狗是他們最愛的寵物,不過老外倒有相近的說法:"He applied t-and-switch factics in business.(他經商的策略是先引誘顧客來,再改變貨物的品質。)","Bait-and-switch"當名詞用,也可不用連字型大小"This store uses t and switch policy."或者簡單的說:"Let the buyer be aware!(讓消費者提高警覺)"或"Say one thing and do another."

3.

我翻自譯的不一定對
因為英語中有許多典故的..
比如"Love
me,love
my
dog."就是漢語中的「愛屋及烏」
所以有很多時候都不能直譯
