China's Translation of Foreign Proverbs: Two Translation Examples of the Same English Proverb: Blood is thicker than water. One is "clear water is not thick but blood is thick" and the other is "blood is thicker than water". Literally, the above two translation examples are well translated and seem to be understandable. The translation is fluent and easy to understand, but it seems unintelligible after reading it. This is because the translated image fails to accurately convey the metaphorical meaning of this proverb.
Longman Dictionary of English Idioms (page 28) interprets this proverb as' the relationship between people in the same family is stronger than other relationships'. Therefore, it seems that China's proverb "Family is not close" can be borrowed to translate this proverb, which can better express the meaning of "belonging to the same blood relationship, being closer than others".
Language is the expression of culture. Proverbs, like literary works and poems, are the essence of language. English proverbs are colorful language forms with vivid images, obvious metaphorical meanings and philosophical language features. To some extent, English proverbs reflect the cultural characteristics of English speakers. Therefore, it is not enough to seek equivalence only on the premise of synonyms (equivalence) between languages when translating English proverbs. Translators should use more Chinese expressions to reproduce the language style and rich connotation of English proverbs. Only by paying more attention to the unique language connotation of English proverbs outside the literal, can the translation be ironic and well-founded, without losing the language image of the original proverbs.
Some English proverbs are the same or basically the same as Chinese idioms and proverbs in form and meaning. When translating these English words into Chinese, it is a pity to translate them directly with idioms or proverbs with the same or similar metaphorical meaning. In this way, the charm and form of the original text can be well maintained, and the translation can be easily accepted by readers or listeners. For example:
Pride before falling. Pride goes before a fall.
A miss is as good as a mile.
Two company, three company. Two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat.
Walls have ears. Walls have ears.
Enough is as good as fear. A contented mind is perpetual feast.
Although some English proverbs and Chinese proverbs have some differences in language habits and cultural background, and the things they compare are not the same, their metaphorical meanings are the same and their expressions are very similar. When translating these English proverbs into Chinese, it is often necessary to "change their forms and preserve their spirit", that is, to freely translate Chinese idioms with similar images. In this way, the translation can be both metaphorical and implicit, can reproduce the language effect of the original text, and is easy to convey. For example:
Two people can play this game.
A new official has three fires.
Speak of the devil and he will arrive.
The grass on the other side of the mountain is greener.
Put the cart before the horse. It's not upside down.
Some English proverbs are implicit, implicit and profound. If you don't understand the specific meaning and effect of the original text and just translate it into Chinese word by word, the translation will be boring. This can not express the meaning, but also damage the language image and rich connotation of the original text. Therefore, when translating, we should look for idioms, proverbs or common sayings with the same metaphorical meaning or similar effect as the original text, which will make the translation vivid and accurate. Try to compare the following translation examples.
