       1.经典英语成语故事及翻译

       卧薪尝胆

       　During the Spring and Autumn period （770－476BC）, the State of Wu launched an attack against the State of Yue. The King of Wu was seriously wounded and soon died. His son Fu Chai became the new King. Fu was determined to get revenge. He drilled his army rigidly until it was a perfect fighting force. Three years later, he led his army against the State of Yue and caught its king Gou Jian. Fu took him to the State of Wu.

       　春秋时期，吴国和越国之间进行了一场战争，吴王不幸受了重伤，不久就死了。他的儿子夫差作了吴国的新国王，他发誓要替父亲报仇。于是，他严格的操练他的士兵，把他们训练成了一支非常厉害的军队。三年以后，他对越国发动了战争，抓住了越王勾践，把他带回了吴国。

       　In order to avenge his father's death, Fu let him live in a shabby stone house by his father's tomb and ordered him to raise horses for him. Gou pretended to be loyal to Fu but he never forgot his humiliation. Many years later, he was set free. Gou secretly accumulated a military force after he went back to his own state. In order to make himself tougher he slept on firewood and ate a gall-bladder before having dinner and going to bed every night. At the same time he administered his state carefully, developing agriculture and educating the people. After a few years, his country became strong. Then Gou seized a favorable opportunity to wipe out the State of Wu.

       　为了复仇，夫差让勾践住在他父亲墓旁的破石屋里天天看墓、喂马。勾践表面上服从，心里面却想着复仇。几年以后，勾践被放回越国。他立刻开始秘密聚集一支军队。为了提醒自己不要忘了报仇，他睡在柴上，还每天在吃饭睡觉前尝一尝苦胆。同时，他专心治理国家，大力发展农业，加强民众教育。几年后，越国又变得强大起来，然后，勾践抓住一个适当的机会消灭了吴国。

       　Later, people use it to describe one who endures self-imposed hardships to strengthen one's resolve to realize one's ambition.

       　后来，人们用它来形容人刻苦自励以达到自己定下的目标。

       望梅止渴

       　Quenching Thirst by Watching Plums

       　One summer, Cao Cao was leading his troops in a punitive expedition against Zhang Xiu. It was extraordinarily hot. The burning sun was like a fire, and the sky was cloudless. The soldiers were walking on the winding mountain paths. The dense forest and the hot rocks exposed to the sun on both sides of the paths made the soldiers feel suffocated. By noontime the soldiers' clothes were wet through with sweat, and the marching speed slowed down. Some solders of weak physique even fainted on the roadside.

       　Seeing that the marching speed was slower and slower, Cao Cao was very worried because he feared that he might bungle the chance of winning the battle. But how could they quicken their speed? Cao Cao at once callde the guide and asked him on the quiet whether there was a source of water nearby. The guide shook his head, saying that the spring water was on the other side of the mountain, which was very far to have to make a detour to reach. Cao Cao realized that time didn't permit them to make such a detour. After thinking for a moment, he said to the guide, "Keep quiet. I'll find a way out." He knew that it would be to no avail to order his troops to quicken the steps. He had a brain wave and found a good solution. He spurred his horse and came to the head of the column. Pointing his horsewhip to the front, Cao Cao said, "Soldiers, I know there is a big forest of plums ahead. The plums there are both big and delicious. let's hurry along, and we will reach the forest of plums after bypassing this hill." When the solders heard this, they immediately slobbered. Picturing in their minds the sweet and sour flavour of the plums, the soldiers felt as if they were actually eating the plums, the soldiers felt as if they were actually eating the plums themselves. The morale greatly boosted, the soldiers quickened their steps a great deal automatically.

       　This story comes from "The Fake Tangery" in Anecdotes of This World by Liu Yiqing of the Southern Dynasties period (420-589). From this story, people have derived the set phrase "quenching thirst by watching plums" to refer to trying to comfort oneself of others by idle dreams.

       　有一年夏天，曹操率领部队去讨伐张绣，天气热得出奇，骄阳似火，天上一丝云彩也没有，部队在弯弯曲曲的山道上行走，两边密密的树木和被阳光晒得滚烫的山石，让人透不过气来。到了中午时分，士兵的衣服都湿透了，行军的速度也慢下来，有几个体弱的士兵竟晕倒在路边。

       　曹操看行军的速度越来越慢，担心贻误战机，心里很是着急。可是，眼下几万人马连水都喝不上，又怎么能加快速度呢？他立刻叫来向导，悄悄问他：“这附近可有水源？”向导摇摇头说：“泉水在山谷的那一边，要绕道过去还有很远的路程。”曹操想了一下说，“不行，时间来不及。”他看了看前边的树林，沉思了一会儿，对向导说：“你什么也别说，我来想办法。”他知道此刻即使下命令要求部队加快速度也无济于事。脑筋一转，办法来了，他一夹马肚子，快速赶到队伍前面，用马鞭指着前方说：“士兵们，我知道前面有一大片梅林，那里的梅子又大又好吃，我们快点赶路，绕过这个山丘就到梅林了！”士兵们一听，仿佛已经吃到嘴里，精神大振，步伐不由得加快了许多。

       　故事出自《世说新语?假谲》。成语“望梅止渴”，比喻用空想安慰自己或他人。

        3.经典英语成语故事及翻译

       一鸣惊人

       　In the Warring States Period, Duke Wei of Qi neglected state affairs, for the first three years of his reign, giving himself over to dissipation. One of his ministers, Chun Yukun who had a good sense of humour, said to him: 'There is a big bird which has neither taken wing nor sung for three years.' The duke answered, 'Once that bird starts to fly and sing, it will astonish the world.' The duke thereupon devoted himself to his duties and built his state up into a powerful one.

       　战国时代，齐威王即位后做了三年国君，只顾享乐，不理政事。有个善于说笑话的人叫淳于髡，一天对齐威王说：“城里有一只大鸟，三年不飞也不叫，你知道这是什么道理?”齐威王说：“这鸟不飞则罢，一飞就冲天;不鸣则罢，一鸣就惊人。”在淳于髡的激发下，齐威王开始治理国家，取得很大成绩，齐国的声威一直保持了几十年。

        4.经典英语成语故事及翻译

       精卫填海

       　Once upon a time, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, legendary ruler of primitive China, went boating on the Eastern Sea. While she was enjoying herself, a strong wind rose on the sea and her boat capsized. Just before she was buried by the surging waves, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird. As it flew over the roaring sea, it cried sadly in the sound "jinwei, jingwei". That was why people called it "Jingwei".

       　The bird lived on a mountain near the sea. It hated the sea so much that it decided to fill it up. Every day, it flew to and fro between the mountain and the sea, carrying in a twig or a pebble from the mountain and dropping it into the sea.

       　One day, the roaring sea said to Jingwei, "Poor little bird, stop doing that meaningless thing! You'll never fill me up." Jingwei replied, "I'll fill you up no doubt! I will, even if it'll take me thousands of years! I'll fight on until doomsday!"

       　The brave little bird kept carrying twigs and pebbles from the mountain to the Eastern Sea without taking a rest.

       　From this fable comes the idiom "The bird Jingwei trying to fill the sea". We use it to describe people who are firm and indomitable and will not stop until they reach their goal.

       　从前，炎帝(传说中中国原始社会的统治者)的小女儿在东海上划船。正当她划得高兴时，海面上突然升起一阵大风，把她的小船弄翻了。就在她要被汹涌的波浪吞 没时，她的灵魂变成了一只美丽的小鸟。它飞过那咆哮的海面，伤心的叫着"精卫，精卫"的声音。所以人们就叫她"精卫"。

       　精卫鸟住在靠海的一座山上。它非常恨大海，所以决心要把它填平。它每天来回于山海之间，把从山上衔来的小树枝和小石子扔在大海里。

       　一天，咆哮的大海对精卫说："可怜的小鸟，停止你那无谓的举动吧!你是永远都填不平我的。" 精卫回答说："我当然会把你填平的!即使这需要千千万万年的时间，我也一定会斗争到底，直到你的末日来临!"

       　这只勇敢的小鸟继续从山上衔来小树枝和小石子，扔到东海中，从未有片刻休息。

       　"精卫填海"这个成语就是由这个传说而来的，形容那些坚定不移，不屈不挠，不到目的决不罢休的人。

       　One year he went to take the imperialexamination, and came bottomof the listof successfulcandidates.

       　有一年他去参加考试，公布名单时他是最后一名。

       　Back in his hometown, one of his neighbor asked him whetherthe neighbor's son had also passed.

       　回到家，他的邻居向他打听自己的儿子考得怎么样。

       　Sun Shan said, with a smile:"Sun Shan was the last on the list. Your son came after Sun Shan."

       　孙山笑着对邻居说：“孙山考了最后一名，你儿子的名字还在孙山的后面呢。”

与马有关的成语英语

       这是一个很大的课题，不少学者专门出书或发表若干论文去阐述这一论题。不过，简单来说，常见的方法有以下几种：

       1、直译：前提是不是中文文化背景下特有的、直译过去不会引起歧义或造成不解的，如“一石二鸟”可译成“to kill two birds with one stone”；“易如反掌”可译成“as easy as turning over one's hand”,“火中取栗”可译成“to pull the chestnut out of the fire”，这样子翻译既通俗易读，又十分形象。

       2、以英语里的相近或相等的成语替换：如“爱屋及乌”可译成“Love me,love my dog”；“趁热打铁”可译成“to strike while the iron is hot”；“破釜沉舟”可译成“to burn one’s boats”；“隔墙有耳”可译成“Wall have ears”；这样子方便直接，当然也颇考译者的词汇量。

       3、有时为了忠实于原文，但又为免引起误解，就采用直译+意译的方式，即先直译过来，再在后面加上解释：如“水中捞月”译成“to fish for moon in the water—to make impractical or vain efforts ”，“门庭若市”译成“ the courtyard is as crowed as a market place—a much-visited house ”。

       4、意译：即直接按意思翻译出来。所有的东西，都可以通过意译的办法翻译出来，只是意译的话就丢失了原文的意境、修辞、幽默感等等。但是很多成语都是中国文化里所特有的，或带有强烈的中国文化色彩，无法通过以上方法翻译出来。这些成语，如果直译的话，外国人可能根本不知所云，这时就要采用意译的办法，将成语的意思翻译出来就好了。如“得陇望蜀”译成“be insatiable”,“不管三七二十一”译成“regardless of the consequences”，“凤毛麟角”译成“priceless value”。

        扩充套件：放弃的几种表达

       Give up指放弃努力、投降;abandon强调不再关心或支援;desert的指责意味更强;forsake用于对亲密关系的放弃。

       Give up的意思是认输、停止努力。

       比如某宅男看到女神躺在高富帅的怀里，就留下一句“祝你幸福”转身走开，这就叫give her up。

       Abandon的意思是彻底放弃，不再关心，特指停止对某人的照顾、支援。比如：

       His mother had abandoned him at an early age.

       还可以指离开、废弃某地或某物，比如：

       He decided2 not to abandon his Chicago residence.

       他决定不搬离在芝加哥的住宅。

       DESERT形容逃兵等可耻的放弃行为时，会用到一个比abandon更具有贬义的单词：desert。它指不忠诚、不负责任地抛弃。例如：

       He deserted3 his wife and daughter.

       他抛弃妻女。

       此外，desert还有“在对方需要的时候辜负某人”的意思。这种用法中，desert的主语是某种能力，不用人做主语。比如：

       His luck deserted him.

       运气没有眷顾他。

       最后，desert在做名词时是沙漠的意思，它在做动词时可以表示离开某地让它荒凉。比如：

       The tourists have deserted the beaches.

       游客们离开了沙滩。

       Forsake1是指对亲密关系中断、弃绝。例如：

       He forsook4 his wife for a career.

       他为了职业生涯抛弃了妻子。
