第五篇：中英文對照諺語

中英文相對應(yīng)的諺語

渾水摸魚

成語出處: 語源和意源不詳.公元前6世紀希臘寓言家伊索的《伊索寓言漁夫》

中講的是混水摸魚的故事：一位漁夫在河里捕魚時，先攔河張網(wǎng)，然后用繩子拴上石塊，面向魚網(wǎng)擊打水底，魚嚇得到處亂游，有些撞進網(wǎng)里。當?shù)赜腥艘姖O夫這樣做，責(zé)怪他把水攪渾了，使人不能喝到清水。漁夫說：“若不是把水攪渾，我就捕不到魚，捕不到魚，我就得餓死?！?/p>

有人把它作為“渾水摸魚”的來源。我們認為寓言譯介到中國來的時間與《三十六

計》成書時間的先后關(guān)系有待進一步考證。

Teach fish to swim.Showing Off One's Proficiency with the Axe Before Lu Ban the Master Carpenter

班門弄斧典故（中英對照）

古代有一個建筑和雕刻技術(shù)非常高超的人，名叫魯班，木匠行里尊稱他為祖師。傳說他曾用木頭制作了一只五彩斑斕的鳳凰，能夠在空中飛翔三天不掉下來。在魯班門前擺弄斧子，當然顯得有些自不量力了。

Lu Ban was supposed to be a consummate carpenter in ancient times.It is said that he once carved a wooden phoenix that was so lifelike that it actually flew in the sky for three days.Thus it was considered the height of folly to show off one's skill with an axe in front of Lu Ban.“班門弄斧”這個成語，用來比喻在行家面前顯示本領(lǐng)。

This idiom excoriates those who show off their slight accomplishments in front of experts.Don't teach your grandmother to suck eggs.休要班門弄斧。
