成语的英文翻译 成语的英文翻译 不动声色 拼音： bùdòngshēngsè 解释： 声：言谈；色：脸色。在紧急情况下，说话、神态仍跟平时一样没有变化。形容非常镇静。 出处： 宋·欧阳修《相州昼锦堂记》：“垂绅正笏，不动声色，而措天下于泰山之安。” 翻译： 不动声色指的是说话、神态都保持镇定，没有变化。 保持可以用keep，maintain等表示，镇定可以是composure，组合起来就是keep/maintainone’scomposure 要不动声色，不要让对方看到任何你生气或是不安的迹象。Don'tshowanysignsofangerorupset.Youmustkeepyourcomposure. 还有一个词组也表示不动声色：notturnahair。 notturnahair:tonotshowanyemotionwhenyouaretoldsomethingb adorwhensomethingbadhappens 连一根头发丝都没有动，是不是十分镇定呢？

英语成语是英语词汇中的重要精华部分。社会生活的各个方面是英语成语取之不尽的源泉，当代英语中最常用的成语有4000余条。许多常用的英语成语来自《圣经》(Bible)和莎士比亚（Shakespeare）等文学名著。英语成语主要是口语，而汉语成语主要是书面语；English idiom 字数不固定，而汉语成语多为四字词组。下面分广义和狭义来论述英语成语。 一、英语成语的理解 （一）广义的英语成语的理解 从文体学来说，广义的英语成语（idiom）包括谚语（proverb）、俚语(slang)、俗语（colloquial）、成对词（twin words）、三词词组（trinomials）、熟语（catchphrase, lexical phrase ）和习惯搭配（habitual collocation, restricted collocation）等。现举例如下： 1. 谚语、格言(proverb)，警句(sentence idiom)。 英语谚语常有缩写形式，类似汉语的歇后语。例如： 1) Proverbs are children of experience.谚语是经验的产物。 2) It' s no use crying over spilt milk.倒翻牛奶，哭也没用。缩写形式：Cry over spilt milk. 含义：覆水难收。 2. 俚语（slang）。 俚语为某些人群和地区所特有，适用范围有严格限制，使用时要注意其使用的得体性和意义的准确性。例如： 1）screw up 弄糟、一塌胡涂He screwed the whole thing up from start to finish. 他自始至终一塌胡涂。 2）Pay off 贿赂 chat up 与异性搭讪 3. 口语（colloquial）。例如： snake in the grass 暗箭 hit below the belt \ stab in the back 暗箭伤人 cut the ground from under sb. 在某人背后搞鬼 4. 成对词（twin words, irreversible binomials 或 words in pairs）。英国学者福勒(H.W.Fowler) 把它比作“连体双胞胎”(Siamese twins)，称为重言法（hendiadys）。例如： beer and skittles 吃喝玩乐，wax and wane 盛衰，weal and woe祸福。 5. 三词词组（trinomials）。有些固定的三词词组也被归为成语，因为它们大都也是一些固定的讲法。例如：
爱屋及乌Love me, love my dog. 百闻不如一见Seeing is believing. 比上不足，比下有余"worse off than some, better off than many; to fall short of the best, but be better than the worst 笨鸟先飞A slow sparrow should make an early start. 不眠之夜white night 不以物喜，不以己悲not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personnal losses 不遗余力spare no effort; go all out; do one‘s best 不打不成交"No discord, no concord. 拆东墙补西墙rob Peter to pay Paul 辞旧迎新bid farewell to the old and usher in the new; ring out the old year and ring in the new 大事化小，小事化了try first to make their mistake sound less serious and then to reduce it to nothing at all 大开眼界open one‘s eyes; broaden one‘s horizon; be an eye-opener 国泰民安The country flourishes and people live in peace 过犹不及going too far is as bad as not going far enough; beyond is as wrong as falling short; too much is as bad as too little 功夫不负有心人Everything comes to him who waits. 好了伤疤忘了疼once on shore, one prays no more 好事不出门，恶事传千里Good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spread far and wide. 和气生财Harmony brings wealth 活到老，学到老One is never too old to learn. 既往不咎let bygones be bygones 金无足赤,人无完人Gold can‘t be pure and man can‘t be perfect.
