2. 谚语的文化价值

2.1 谚语反映大不列颠民族的历史

社会历史的发展对语言的影响是巨大的，随着时代的变迁，旧的语言逐渐衰亡，新的语言不断产生。在语言的发展过程中，历史文化的痕迹主要残留在习语当中，翻开一本中型英语词典，在 “Rome”（罗马）的词条下就会找到至少三条与“罗马”有关的谚语：

Do in Rome as the Romans do.（在罗马就要像罗马人一样生活。比喻：入乡随俗）

Rome was not built in a day.（罗马不是一天建成的。比喻：伟业非一日之功）

All roads lead to Rome （条条道路通罗马。比喻：殊途同归）

公元前六世纪，罗马人征服不列颠岛，其后占领不列颠岛长达400年之久罗马文化与风俗逐渐渗入不列颠，形成一个不列颠拉丁文化。罗马人走后，他们的文化及其对不列颠的影响仍然留在不列颠岛上，以上三条谚语可见罗马帝国昔日的辉煌。

大不列颠岛除了被罗马帝国侵占过以外，还曾先后被日耳曼部落、诺曼底族侵占过，所以，英语中有很多来自拉丁语、法语、西班牙语等欧洲语言的谚语。 来自拉丁语语的谚语有：

Fortune favors the brave.（勇敢者交好运）

There is no rule without an exception.（没有一条规则没有例外） 来自法语的谚语有:

Don’t put the cart before the horse.(不要本末倒置)

Once is no custom.（一次不是习惯）

Nurture is above nature.（教育生于天赋）

来自西班牙语的谚语有：

A cold April the barn will fill.（四月寒冷谷满仓）

He has two stomachs to eat and one to work. （他有两个肚子吃，只有一个肚子做工作。意为“好吃懒做”）

2.2 谚语反映大不列颠的地理位置

英国是一个岛国，位于欧洲西部大西洋中的不列颠诸岛上，英国所处的这样一个岛多的位置，对其自身的发展具有重要的意义。在这样的地理环境中，海上运输在英国运输业中占有特殊位置，因此许多英国谚语与航海有关。这些谚语{与科幻有关的英语谚语}.

大部分都是水手在长期航海生活中创造和使用的，既是水手们的经验之谈，直接适用于航海，又具有广泛的意义。例如：If the rain comes before the wind, lower your topsails, and take them in; if the wind comes before the rain, lower you topsails, and hoist them again.（如果先下雨后刮风，就收下你的中桅帆；如果先刮风后下雨，就把中桅帆再扬起。）这条谚语不仅指导水手何时扬帆，收帆而且是一种普遍的气象常识，它告诉人们，雨后刮风，雨要不停地下，而雨前刮风，雨下不长。

再如Hoist sail when the wind is fair.（趁着好风扬起帆）具有普遍的指导意义，它教育人们，要利用好机会干事情，趁热打铁，乘风破浪，机不可失，时不再来。A good sailor may mistake in a dark night. （好水手在黑夜航行也会出错）The good seaman is known in bad weather.（坏天气才能使出好水手）等。 捕鱼业在英国经济中占有相当重要的地位，为英语留下不少与渔业有关的谚语

All is fish that comes to his net.（进到网里的都是鱼）这条谚语的比喻意义是“任何有用的东西或有好处的事都来者不拒”，含有贬义。The best fish smell when they are three days old. （再好的鱼三天也变臭）比喻“在一起相处得太久，再好的朋友都会生厌。

The best fish swim near the bottom.（好鱼居水底）比喻“有价值的东西不会轻易得到”.

Fish begins to stink at the head. （ 鱼要腐烂头先臭。比喻意义与汉语谚语“上梁不正下梁歪”相似）

He who would catch fish must not mind getting wet. （要像抓鱼就不能怕弄湿衣。比喻意义与汉语谚语“要吃龙肉，就得亲自下海”相似）

Never offer to teach fish to swim. （不要教鱼儿游泳。比喻“不要再内行人面前卖弄自己”。相当于汉语谚语“不要班门弄斧”）

2.3 谚语反映不列颠民族的风俗习惯

风俗习惯是一个地区的人的生活方式，它包括很多、很广，涉及社会生活的各个方面。它既受到一个民族的政治、经济、宗教、文学艺术等方面的影响，又反过来影响这些方面。一个民族的语言作为这个民族的文化的一个特殊组成部分，必然反映出该民族的风俗习惯，谚语更是与民族的风俗习惯紧密相关。 任何一个民族都有自己喜爱的动物，宠物文化有鲜明的地域性、民族性。中英两国人民都有养狗的习惯，但两国人对狗有不同的传统看法。英国人对狗有好感，认为狗是忠实可靠的朋友。因此，英语中有许多关于狗的谚语：Let the sleeping dogs lie (让睡觉的狗躺着。比喻“莫惹事生非；别自找麻烦”) Every dog has his day (每只狗都有它的好时光。比喻“人人皆有得意日”。) Love me, love my dog (爱屋及乌)等等。而中国人一般厌恶鄙视这种动物，常常用狗来形容和比喻坏人坏事，比如：狗拉耗子，多管闲事；狗掀门帘全凭一张嘴；狗眼看人低；好狗不挡道等。
