1.與動(dòng)物有關(guān)的成語(yǔ)或諺語(yǔ)英漢不盡相同
1)他壯得像頭牛。He is as strong as a horse.(牛—馬)
2)她膽小如鼠。She is as timid as a hare.(鼠—兔)
3)養(yǎng)虎遺患： Warm a snake in one's bosom.(虎—蛇)

8)熱鍋上的螞蟻： Like a cat on hot bricks.(螞蟻—貓)
9)寧為雞頭，毋為牛后： Better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion.(雞—狗，牛—獅)
由此可見(jiàn)，中國(guó)成語(yǔ)中的動(dòng)物在英語(yǔ)成語(yǔ)中已不屬于同一動(dòng)物了。
2.與顏色有關(guān)的成語(yǔ)或諺語(yǔ)英漢也不盡相同
在顏色的作用上，有相同點(diǎn)。比如，紅色(red)，無(wú)論是在英語(yǔ)國(guó)家，還是在中國(guó)，往往都與慶?；顒?dòng)和喜慶日子有關(guān)。如中國(guó)有“開(kāi)門紅”，代表著好運(yùn)氣。英語(yǔ)有“red-letter days”(紀(jì)念日，喜慶日)等。但更多的還是有不同點(diǎn)，而且兩種語(yǔ)言在顏色的意義上也有區(qū)別。如“黃色”(yellow)，在西方黃色表示懦弱，膽小，不敢面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)。而在中國(guó)，黃色是帝王的象征。只有皇帝才配著黃色。再如“藍(lán)色”(blue)，在英語(yǔ)中通常表示不快活，心情不好。如：
1)He is blue today because his father is ill.他今天心情不好，因?yàn)樗赣H病了。
而在中國(guó)，“藍(lán)色”僅僅表示顏色而已，似乎沒(méi)有不快活的意思。再如：
2)He has a green thumb.他擅長(zhǎng)園藝工作。(不是“他有一個(gè)綠色的大拇指”。)
其他顏色詞語(yǔ)也發(fā)生了改變。如：
black tea 紅茶(不是“黑茶”)
brown sugar 紅糖(不是“棕色”糖)
green-eyed 紅眼病(不是“綠眼病”)
blue films 黃色電影(不是“yellow films”)
purple with anger 臉色鐵青(不是“臉色發(fā)紫”)
black and blue 青一塊，紫一塊(不是“黑一塊，藍(lán)一塊”)
另外，在英語(yǔ)中，有些顏色詞已經(jīng)失去了原意。如：
black art 巫術(shù)(不是“黑色的藝術(shù)”)
black cattle 肉牛(不是“黑?！?
black mail 勒索行為(不是“黑色郵件”)
black-letter day 不吉利的日子
red hand 血手(不是“紅手”)
white hair boy 寵兒(不是“白發(fā)童”)
white lie 善意的謊言(不是“白色的謊言”)
white day 吉利之日(不是“白色的日子”)
3.與數(shù)字有關(guān)的成語(yǔ)或諺語(yǔ)英漢也不盡相同
以數(shù)詞表達(dá)的成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)在英漢兩種語(yǔ)言中似乎也不少。但數(shù)字往往不是對(duì)等的。例如：Before his marriage, his room was often at sixes and sevens.結(jié)婚前，他的房間總是亂七八糟的。(不是“亂六亂七”)
She is a beautiful girl in a thousand.她是一個(gè)百里挑一的美麗姑娘。(不是“千里挑一”)
Why do you always come at the eleventh hour and keep everyone waiting for you? 為什么總是姍姍來(lái)遲，讓大家等你？(不是“第11點(diǎn)鐘”)
His father is a three-bottle man.他父親是一個(gè)大“酒桶”。(不是“3瓶酒”)
其他的例子還有：
半斤八兩：six of one and half a dozen of the other
十月懷胎：a woman in the sixth month
十有八九：ten to one
可見(jiàn)，成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)中的數(shù)字都有所改變。
4.有些成語(yǔ)或諺語(yǔ)英漢沒(méi)有對(duì)應(yīng)形式
山中無(wú)老虎，猴子稱霸王。Among the blind people, the one-eyed man is the king.雞窩里飛出金鳳凰。Even a black lays a white egg.新官上任三把火。A new broom sweeps clean.人不可貌相。You can't judge a tree by its bark.見(jiàn)風(fēng)使舵。See which way the cat jumps.傾盆大雨。It rains cats and dogs.一貧如洗(窮光蛋)Poor like a church mouse.度日如年 donkey years
班門弄斧。Never offer to teach fish to swim.三伏天 dog days 成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)是語(yǔ)言不可分割的重要組成部分，是語(yǔ)言中的精華，具有極其豐富的文化底蘊(yùn)。中西方在不同的文化背景下，民族傳統(tǒng)、生活方式以及思維方式等都有著諸多差異，這些文化差異導(dǎo)致了中西方各自成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)的形成、使用與發(fā)展。英漢成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)分別記錄了不同民族的歷史，反映了不同民族的經(jīng)濟(jì)生活，透視了不同民族的文化心態(tài)，思維方式。
中西方成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)，在人生觀、宇宙觀、價(jià)值觀方面的差異
中國(guó)文化強(qiáng)調(diào)天人和諧，對(duì)立統(tǒng)一，順乎自然，順應(yīng)自然的特征。漢語(yǔ)成語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)中出現(xiàn)了許多對(duì)立統(tǒng)一，相互依存，相輔相成的例子。如樂(lè)極生悲，指歡樂(lè)到了極點(diǎn)，將轉(zhuǎn)而發(fā)生悲傷之事；否極泰來(lái)，描寫事物發(fā)展到了極點(diǎn)就會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)化為它的對(duì)立面；分久必合，合久必分（諺語(yǔ)）；失敗乃成功之母（諺語(yǔ)）等。
由于英國(guó)是個(gè)島國(guó)，它地處海濱，由近海的各島嶼組成，形成了最早的求變、好動(dòng)、好奇的外傾性商業(yè)城市文化。這種文化注重思辨理性，認(rèn)為思辨理性的東西是最真實(shí)、最完善、最美好的。強(qiáng)調(diào)的是物質(zhì)與精神的對(duì)立。注重空間的擴(kuò)展與向外征服，形成了征服自然，驅(qū)使天地的文化觀。
地理環(huán)境對(duì)成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)的影響
中國(guó)是個(gè)內(nèi)陸國(guó)家，千百年來(lái)以農(nóng)業(yè)為主，人與土地有著不可分割的聯(lián)系。因此也產(chǎn)生了許多與農(nóng)耕有關(guān)的成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)，如：五谷豐登，瓜熟蒂落，良莠不齊，揠苗助長(zhǎng)，春華秋實(shí)，根深蒂固，滄海桑田，十年樹(shù)木，百年樹(shù)人，依葫蘆畫瓢等等。
英國(guó)是個(gè)島國(guó)，為了生存，不得不與氣候惡劣的海洋環(huán)境抗?fàn)帯Ｔ谡鞣匀坏倪^(guò)程中，形成了許多源于航海或與海洋有關(guān)的成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)，如：weather（ride out）the storm安然度過(guò)了風(fēng)暴；know（learn）the rope 熟悉內(nèi)幕（一個(gè)有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的水手熟悉船上所有用來(lái)掛帆的繩子）。不同文化對(duì)于動(dòng)、植物有關(guān)的成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)的影響
中國(guó)人喜歡稱自己是龍的傳人，龍?jiān)诠糯菨h民族的圖騰物，是神的化身。古時(shí)候皇帝稱自己是真龍?zhí)熳樱耖g有賽龍舟、舞龍獅等活動(dòng)。因此關(guān)于龍的成語(yǔ)也有許多，如：龍飛鳳舞，龍騰虎躍，龍鳳呈祥，龍行虎步，望子成龍，龍爭(zhēng)虎斗，車水馬龍，群龍無(wú)首，龍?bào)椿⒕?。西方人則認(rèn)為龍是邪惡兇殘有鱗的怪獸。
西方人特別喜歡寵物，而狗與貓是西方人在有關(guān)動(dòng)物的成語(yǔ)中，出現(xiàn)頻率比較多的，如：cat and dog life 經(jīng)常吵鬧的生活；dress like a dog′s dinner 穿著極其講究；loveme，love my dog 愛(ài)屋及烏（愛(ài)我就愛(ài)我的狗）。中國(guó)人也喜歡狗，但狗在漢成語(yǔ)中往往是貶義的，如：狗血噴頭、狗仗人勢(shì)、狗尾續(xù)貂、狗急跳墻、狗拿耗子、狐群狗黨等。
文化對(duì)英漢顏色成語(yǔ)的影響
不同的民族對(duì)色彩的喜好是不同的，這些喜好對(duì)成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)有許多影響。在中國(guó)歷史上明黃色是中華民族的代表顏色。它象征神圣、皇權(quán)、尊嚴(yán)、莊嚴(yán)。古時(shí)只有皇親國(guó)戚才能穿明黃色的衣服。成語(yǔ)也就有黃袍加身、黃金時(shí)代、黃粱一夢(mèng)。在西方文化中紫色是尊嚴(yán)、權(quán)力的象征。皇帝登上寶座是raised to the purple。生于王室born in the purple。紅色也是漢民族喜歡的顏色，新娘結(jié)婚時(shí)都喜歡穿紅色，節(jié)慶日掛紅燈，黨旗、國(guó)旗也是紅色，成語(yǔ)有紅裝素裹、紅顏知己等。而西方文化中視紅色為不祥之兆，如果看到紅色，那就意味著有危險(xiǎn)。
喻體、喻義相似的英漢成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)
burn one′s boat 破釜沉舟，出自古羅馬凱撒大帝出征作戰(zhàn)時(shí)為了使士兵下定決心，決一死戰(zhàn)，使士兵無(wú)退路，燒毀戰(zhàn)船。漢語(yǔ)的破釜沉舟，出自楚霸王項(xiàng)羽，渡過(guò)河時(shí)，破釜沉舟，兩句成語(yǔ)喻義和構(gòu)詞上相似。在英漢文化上相似，像這樣的成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)還有許多：add fuel to the flames 火上加油； as light as a feather 輕如鴻毛；A rat crossing the street is chased by all（諺語(yǔ)）老鼠過(guò)街人人喊打。
喻義相同，喻體不同的英漢成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)例1.a rat in a hole 甕中之鱉（洞中之鼠）；2.like a cat on hot bricks 像熱鍋上的螞蟻（像熱磚上的貓）；3.tread upon eggs 如履薄冰（踩在雞蛋上）。
英漢成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)喻體、喻義的融合
有些英漢成語(yǔ)，諺語(yǔ)表達(dá)兩種語(yǔ)言完全一致，這是由于一種語(yǔ)言從另一種語(yǔ)言中借用了它的成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)。時(shí)間久了就產(chǎn)生了語(yǔ)言的融合現(xiàn)象。例1.以牙還牙，a tooth for a tooth（出自英語(yǔ)）；2.披著羊皮的狼，a wolf in sheep′s clothing（出自英語(yǔ)）；3.paper tiger 紙老虎（出自漢語(yǔ)）；4.lose one′s face 丟面子（出自漢語(yǔ)）。
喻體相同，喻義不同
生活在不同文化氛圍中的人，可能對(duì)同一物體有著不同的感受。例1.pull sb′s leg 和人開(kāi)玩笑，愚弄某人，從字面看是拉后腳，但實(shí)際意義完全不同；2.a big fish in a small pond 林無(wú)鳥(niǎo)，雀為王，如果理解為小塘容不下大魚就錯(cuò)了。
源自宗教的成語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)
西方國(guó)家許多人都信仰基督教，《圣經(jīng)》是他們的必讀之書《圣經(jīng)》中的典故、比喻和寓言卻廣泛的為世人所接受。由《圣經(jīng)》而產(chǎn)生的諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)、成語(yǔ)也成為婦孺皆知的日常用語(yǔ)。例1.olive branch 橄欖枝（和平的象征），2.scapegoat 替罪羊3.eye for eye, tooth for tooth 以牙還牙，以眼還眼（諺語(yǔ)）......中國(guó)也有許多與佛教、道教等宗教有關(guān)的成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)。例1.“現(xiàn)身說(shuō)法”原系佛教用惡從善的話。3.“五體投地”，指得是兩手，兩膝和頭一起著地。這是佛教最恭敬的行禮儀語(yǔ)。現(xiàn)表示以親身經(jīng)歷和體驗(yàn)說(shuō)明一種道理。2.“放下屠刀，立地成佛”，這原是佛教改式，比喻佩服到了極點(diǎn)。
源自神話與傳說(shuō)的成語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)
神話是古代人們對(duì)于自然現(xiàn)象和社會(huì)生活原始理解的故事與傳說(shuō)，他們運(yùn)用各種想象把自然力形象化、人格化。反映出古代人渴望戰(zhàn)勝自然，征服自然的決心。古希臘、古羅馬時(shí)期的神話，對(duì)英語(yǔ)的成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)都有很大影響。中國(guó)的古代神話形成的成語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)更是不勝枚舉。例1.Pandora′s Box潘多拉之盒（災(zāi)難、麻煩、禍害之源），出自希臘神話。2.Achilles Heel唯一的致命弱點(diǎn)，出自荷馬史詩(shī)《伊利亞特》。3.開(kāi)天辟地，出自中國(guó)古代神話，傳說(shuō)天地是盤古開(kāi)辟而成。后來(lái)表示從未有過(guò)，是有史以來(lái)第一次。4.精衛(wèi)填海，出自《山海經(jīng)·北山經(jīng)》古代神話，比喻不達(dá)目的誓不罷休。
源自寓言故事
英漢成語(yǔ)、諺語(yǔ)、習(xí)語(yǔ)中有許多寓言，它們生動(dòng)有趣，寓意深刻。例1.a wolf in sheep′s clothing披著羊皮的狼（危險(xiǎn)人物，貌善心毒的人），出自《伊索寓言》。2.Sour Grapes酸葡萄（把得不到的東西，說(shuō)成是不好的，聊以自慰）出自《伊索寓言》。3.狐假虎威（仗別人的勢(shì)力欺壓人）出自《戰(zhàn)國(guó)策、楚策》。
源自歷史事件和歷史故事
如1.meet One′s Waterloo 一敗涂地，此成語(yǔ)出自1815年的“滑鐵盧”之戰(zhàn)。2.項(xiàng)莊舞劍，意在沛公，出自《史記》。源自文學(xué)名著。如1.鞠躬盡瘁，死而后已；出自《三國(guó)志》。2.水落石出；出自蘇東坡的《后赤壁賦》。3.hosit with one′sown搬起石頭砸自己的腳；出自莎士比亞的《哈姆雷特》。4.Homer sometimes nods 智者千慮，必有一失，出自羅馬詩(shī)人兼諷刺文學(xué)家賀拉斯，在《論詩(shī)》中的一句話：sometimes even the good Homer falls asleep 偉人有時(shí)候也會(huì)出錯(cuò)，等等。四字諺語(yǔ)
勇者事成。Fortune favors the brave.后悔無(wú)益。It is no use crying over spilt milk.學(xué)無(wú)止境。Live and learn.捷足先得。The early bird catches the worm.不進(jìn)則退。Not to advance is to go back.一舉兩得。Kill two birds with one stone.無(wú)勞無(wú)獲。No pains, no gains.苦盡甘來(lái)。No sweet without sweat.善有善報(bào)。A good turn deserves another.眼見(jiàn)為實(shí)。Seeing is believing.殊途同歸。All roads lead to Rome.天道酬勤。Hard work pays out.時(shí)不我待。Time and tide wait for no one.言行一致。Practise what you preach.捷足先登。The early bird catches the worn.好事多磨。Good things never come easy.六字諺語(yǔ)
一心不可兩用。If you run after two hares you will catch neither.眼不見(jiàn)，心不想。Out of sight, out of mind.[萬(wàn)用句型]
一切稱心如意。Everything in the garden is lovely.有志者事竟成。Where there is a will, there is a way.不浪費(fèi)，不愁缺。Waste not, want not.事實(shí)勝于雄辯。Actions speak louder than words.彼一時(shí)，此一時(shí)。It is different now from then.八字諺語(yǔ)
人人為我，我為人人。One for all, all for one.不冒風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，不能成功。Nothing ventured, nothing gained.一分耕耘，一分收獲。You reap what you sow.勤勞是成功的根本。Diligence is the parent of success.千里之行始于足下。A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.失之毫厘，謬以千里。One false step will make a great difference.百藝不如一藝精。Better be master of one than a Jack of all trades.冰凍三尺，非一日之寒。A tree will not fall at one blow.羅馬非一日建成。Rome was not built in one day.二、影響英語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)翻譯的因素
1.地理環(huán)境
諺語(yǔ)的產(chǎn)生與人們生活和勞動(dòng)的地理環(huán)境息息相關(guān)。英國(guó)是一個(gè)島國(guó)，位于歐洲西部大西洋中的不列顛諸島上，南面有英吉利海峽，多拂爾海峽，東面隔北海，歷史上航海業(yè)曾一度領(lǐng)先世界，因此留下了許多和捕漁業(yè)有關(guān)的諺語(yǔ)。
Never offer to teach fish to swim.不要教魚兒游泳。這條諺語(yǔ)的比喻意義是“不要在行人面前賣弄自己”。相當(dāng)于漢語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)“不要班們弄斧”。
All is fish that comes to his net.（進(jìn)到網(wǎng)里的都是魚）這條諺語(yǔ)的比喻意義是“任何有用的東西或有好處的事都來(lái)者不拒”，含有貶義。
The best fish swim near the bottom.（好魚居水底）比喻“有價(jià)值的東西不會(huì)輕易得到”。
2.歷史背景 社會(huì)歷史的發(fā)展對(duì)語(yǔ)言的影響是巨大的。在歷史的進(jìn)程中，諺語(yǔ)好比一面鏡子，能清楚地反映其歷史的變遷。
公元前55年的夏天，古羅馬統(tǒng)帥愷撒來(lái)到不列顛島，第二年在不列顛島東南部站穩(wěn)了腳跟，而英國(guó)歷史上真正的“羅馬人的征服”（Roman Conquest）是在公元43年開(kāi)始的。從此羅馬人占領(lǐng)不列顛400年之久，羅馬文化與風(fēng)格習(xí)慣滲入不列顛。直到今天，仍然流傳著有關(guān)羅馬的英語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)。例如： Do in Rome as the Romans do.在羅馬就要過(guò)羅馬人的生活。（喻：入鄉(xiāng)隨俗。）Rome was not built in a day.羅馬不是一天建成的。（喻：偉業(yè)非一日之功。）All roads lead to Rome.條條道路通羅馬。（喻：殊途同歸。）這三條諺語(yǔ)足以反映出“羅馬人的征服”（Roman Conquest）對(duì)英語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)的影響，足以反映出羅馬帝國(guó)昔日的輝煌。3.風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣 風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣是一個(gè)地區(qū)的人的生活方式，涉及生活的各個(gè)地域。諺語(yǔ)更是與風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣緊密相關(guān)，英語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)的翻譯離不開(kāi)對(duì)英美風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣的了解。英漢習(xí)俗差異是多方面的，最典型的莫過(guò)于在對(duì)狗態(tài)度上。中國(guó)人一般厭惡鄙視這種動(dòng)物，常常用狗來(lái)形容和比喻壞人壞事，含有貶義：狐朋狗黨、狗急跳墻、狼心狗肺、狗腿子等，還有諺語(yǔ)像：好狗不擋道；狗嘴里吐不出象牙來(lái)；狗拿耗子，多管閑事；狗掀門簾全憑一張嘴；狗眼看人低。但英美國(guó)家大都認(rèn)為狗是忠實(shí)可靠的朋友，“狗”經(jīng)常用來(lái)比喻人的生活。Every dog has his own day.（每只狗都有他的好時(shí)光。）這條諺語(yǔ)比喻“人人都有得意的一天?！?An old dog barks not in rain.（老狗不亂吠。）這條諺語(yǔ)比喻“老年人做事有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。” Dog does not eat dog.（狗不吃狗。）這條諺語(yǔ)比喻“一個(gè)人不應(yīng)該攻擊或傷害同伙，或賺他的錢。”與這條英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)相近的漢語(yǔ)有：“同室不操戈，同類不相殘?！?Love me, love my dog.（喜歡我，也要喜歡我的狗。）這條諺語(yǔ)的比喻意思是：任何希望與我保持友誼的人，都必須接受和容忍所有屬于我的東西。我的個(gè)人愛(ài)好和我的觀點(diǎn)意見(jiàn)。同這條諺語(yǔ)相近的漢語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)有“愛(ài)屋及烏”。4.宗教信仰
宗教是諺語(yǔ)的重要來(lái)源之一。中國(guó)信奉的是佛教，道教，儒教等，所以有許多與此相關(guān)的諺語(yǔ)，例如，不修今世修來(lái)世、善有善報(bào)，惡有惡報(bào)、物極必反，否極泰來(lái)、福兮禍所伏，禍兮福所倚等。而在西方很多國(guó)家，尤其是英美國(guó)家主要的宗教信仰是基督教，所以英語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)很多是和基督教有關(guān)的。例如，Man proposes, God disposes.謀事在人，成事在天。God helps those who help themselves.自助者天助之。
在基督教中，上帝是唯一的，至高無(wú)上的神，相當(dāng)于中國(guó)人的“天”。除了“上帝”，“十字架”也是基督教的重要象征之一。與基督教有關(guān)的英語(yǔ)諺語(yǔ)中，不少涉及到“十字架”。例如，Every man must carry his own cross.（每個(gè)人必須背他自己的十字架。）這條諺語(yǔ)來(lái)自《圣經(jīng)》，cross（十字架）是耶穌走向死亡之地所帶的十字架，釘上十字架而死。cross一詞就有了“苦難”的轉(zhuǎn)義。這條諺語(yǔ)的意思是，人人都要忍受生活中的苦難，承擔(dān)自己的生活負(fù)擔(dān)。不怕慢，只怕站。Do not fear going slow, only fear standing still.化干戈為玉帛。beat swords into ploughs 欲窮千里目，更上一層樓。We widen our views 3 hundred miles by ascending one flight of stairs.會(huì)當(dāng)凌絕頂，一覽眾山小。
