二、套用谚语的技巧 套用谚语就是直接将谚语套用在自己的句子中,使之成为自己句子的一个组成部分。下面略举几例,同学们可以从中学习如何在自己的句子中套用谚语。 1. Beggars cannot be choosers. 叫花子不能挑肥拣瘦。如: Like it or not, remember, beggars can’t be choosers. 不管你是喜欢还是不喜欢,记住,叫花子不能挑肥拣瘦。 I don’t care much for the Christmas present, for beggars can’t be choosers. 对于什么样的圣诞礼物我不在乎,因为叫花子不能挑肥拣瘦。 I would have preferred a bed, but beggars can’t be choosers so I slept on the sofa. 我本想要张床,但是叫花子不能挑肥拣瘦,所以我就睡在沙发上了。 Usually I hate pancakes but beggars can’t be choosers. So I walked in hoping to find some discarded pancakes since I had no money. 通常我不喜欢吃烙饼,但是叫花子不能挑肥拣瘦,所以我还是走了进去,希望能找到一些别人吃剩的烙饼,因为我身无分文。 2. Once bitten, twice shy. 一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳;一次上当,下次小心。如: She certainly won’t swim again—once bitten, twice shy. 她肯定不会再游泳了——所谓一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳。 I try to avoid meeting her. But probably once bitten, twice shy, I always feel nervous whenever I see her. 我尽量避免与她见面。但也许是一朝被蛇咬十年怕井绳吧,我每次见到她都感到很紧张。 A: Do you think he will marry again?你觉得他会再婚吗? B: I’m afraid he won’t—once bitten, twice shy. 恐怕不会了——所谓一朝被蛇咬十年怕井绳啊。 3. It never rains but it pours. 不雨则已,一雨倾盆;灾祸等不发生则已,一发生便接踵而至。如: First his car broke down, then he lost my key—it never rains but it pours! 先是他的汽车出了故障,接着又丢了钥匙——真是祸不单行! 请再看下面一段长对话: A: Oh, my God! It’s the end of the world! 哦,上帝!世界末日到了! B: What’s the matter? 出什么事了? A: I got sacked yesterday. 我昨天被炒了鱿鱼。 B: Look on the bright side. Perhaps you can find a better job. 往好的方面看,也许你可以找到一份更好的工作。 A: And my girl friend broke up with me this morning. I can hardly believe it! 接着,今天早上我的女朋友把我甩了,我简直不敢相信! B: I’m sorry to hear that. Can I do anything for you? 我为你难过。我能帮什么忙吗? A: Can you lend me some money? I lost my wallet just now and my whole month’s salary was in it. Oh, no! How could this happen to me! 你能借我些钱吗?我刚才把钱包丢了,里边装着我整个月的薪水。哦,天哪!我怎么会碰上这样的事! B: Just as the saying goes, it never rains but it pours. Anyway, cheer up. Everything will turn out all right. 正如俗话所说,祸不单行。无论如何,看开一点,一切都会好转起来的。 A: I hope so. 但愿如此。 |
