二、英语idioms的来源

1．From the Bible圣经故事:

1) Cast pearls before swine对牛弹琴；白费好意

这个成语源自《新约。马太福音》第7章：“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you”.

2）Don’t you see the writing on the wall? 难道你没有看出大难临头了吗？（writing on the wall意为“不

详之兆”，典出《旧约全书》）

2. From the fables寓言故事:

1) Veper and File出自《伊索寓言》，说的是一条蝰蛇（Viper）发现一把铁锉（File），以为是一顿美餐。但铁锉说，它的天职是咬别人，而不是被别人咬。后人借此比喻“骗人者反受人骗”，汉译时要作直译或意译处理。

2) kill the goose to get the eggs，源于希腊寓言，说的是曾有一个乡下人，因为发财心切杀死了自己饲养的那只能下金蛋的鹅，以为如此就可一次获得全部想象中的金块，但其结果一无所获。

3．From fairy tales神话故事：

1) rain cats and dogs，源于北欧神话，猫对天气有很大影响，英国水手至今说：“猫尾巴藏大风”。据说驾暴风雨的巫士化为猫形。狗是风的信号，狗和狼都是暴风雨神奥丁的随从。在德国古画中，风被画成狗头和狼头。因此，猫被年作暴雨的象征，狗是伴随暴雨的强风，to rain cats and dogs就是to rain heavily/hard，汉译便为“下倾盆大到雨”。

2) Analthea’s horn，汉译常为“丰饶的羊角”。阿玛尔忒亚（Amalthea），希腊祖籍中一神女，是宙斯（Zeus为主神，相当于罗马神话中的朱庇特Jupiter）的保姆。婴儿时宙斯由神女阿玛尔忒亚喂以羊乳。为了感思，宙斯敲下一羊角送给她。许诺让羊角主人永远丰饶。

3) the sword of Damocles达摩克利斯的剑，临头的危险（希腊神话，廷臣达摩克利斯羡慕国王狄奥尼修斯的国王生活，国王于是用一根头发将一把到件剑悬挂在王位上，让达摩克利斯坐在上面） 4。From history allusion /legend历史典故/传说

1) burn one’s boats（bridges），此成语中的bridges为美国人所使用，原指古罗马朱力斯·凯撒大军乘船越过Rubicon后就把船烧了，以此向士兵指明后路已断，不可能后退。现借用来比喻“不留后路，下定决心干到底”，同汉语的“破釜沉舟“。

2）Leave no stone unturned，相传公元前447年波斯奖军马多尼奥斯在希腊的普拉蒂亚兵败被杀后，留下一大批财宝在军帐里。底比斯的波利克拉特斯搜寻却一无所获，请示德尔斐神谕后知道要“翻转所有的石头”，最后找到了财宝。现借此比喻想方设法等，汉译为“千方百计，想尽办法”

3）a Spartan look 简朴的; 艰苦的 （古希腊斯巴达人以简朴和不畏艰辛著称）

4）a Trojan Horse 内奸, 暗藏之敌

5）the heel of Achilles 致命的弱点

6）Gordian Knot 难题；僵局

7）have an axe to grind别有用心,另有企图

5. From literature works文学作品:

1) Simon Legree“残暴之徒，尖酸刻薄、好吹毛求疵的人”

Simon Legree是美国女作家斯陀夫人所著《汤姆大伯的小屋》一书中管黑奴的工头，此人既凶狠又尖酸刻薄，将心地善良的汤姆大伯活活打死。

2) Life is but an empty dream，其汉译为“人生如梦”。源于美国诗人Longfellow的诗文

3) as busy as a bee (From Chaucer's Canterbury Tales)

4）Catch-22 situation 不可逾越的障碍（源自美国作家约瑟夫·赫勒的小说Catch-22）

6. From social custom社会风俗:

1) a feather in your cap，汉译为“值得荣耀的事、荣誉”。源于广泛流行于亚洲和美洲印第安人当中的一种风俗：每杀死一个敌人就在头饰或帽子上加插一根羽毛，以此来显示战绩与荣誉。

2) have a ball at one’s foot，汉译为“有成功的机会”，源于足球运动。

3）When you are down, you are not necessarily out.遇到挫折，并不一定丧失成功的机会。（拳击规则，被击倒还有10秒可爬起来）

4．偏正式：泰然自若，洋洋得意（得意洋洋），小心翼翼，半途而废，奋不顾身，泰然处之，

5．连动式：投笔从戎，见异思迁，挖肉补疮，触类旁通，无地自容，
