引言

我国著名美学家朱光潜先生说过：“外国文字最难了解和翻译的第一是联想意义，它带有特殊的情感氛围，在字典中无从找出，如果我们不熟悉一国的风土人情和历史文化，对于文字的这种意义就茫然，尤其是在翻译时这一种字义最不容易对付。”谚语是一种最富联想意义的语言现象，它是由一种简单符号传达复杂信息的方式，其特点是能够引起读者联想到与之相关的历史故事、民间传说以及文学故事等。

一、谚语的内涵

何谓谚语?谚语是指“在群众中间流传的固定语句，用简单通俗的话反映出深刻的道理。”谚语的绝大部分是人民群众对长期生活经验的科学总结，有的是来自文学名著的警句妙语。英语谚语中有很大一部分来源于圣经，以格言或箴言的形式，总结生活的经验、阐述做人的道理，因此在群众中广为流传。在语言形式上，英汉谚语具有非常相似的特征。

二、英汉谚语的特征

(一)用词精炼、句式整齐

经过长期的实践，谚语的用词十分讲究，单句间接凝练、言简意赅，双句大多采用对仗，结构整齐、对称。
