17、）的人比作动物，如常以“毒如蛇蝎”，“笨猪”、“胆小如鼠”来比喻心毒手辣的人、笨人、胆小怯懦的人等。英语中同样可用十二生肖中的动物喻人，其所表达的意思不尽相同。从下面的十二生肖英语翻译中就能看出各种属相在英语中表达的意义。Rat charm, 子鼠Ox patient, 丑牛Tiger sensitive, 寅虎Rabbit articulate, 卯兔Dragon healthy, 辰龙Snake deep, 巳蛇Horse popular, 午马Goat elegant, 未羊Monkey clever, 申猴Rooster deep thinkers, 酉鸡Dog loyalty, 戌狗
18、Pig chivalrous. 亥猪 十二生肖在英语中的喻义“生肖”是代替十二地支、用来表示人们出生的12种动物，即鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、 马、羊、猴、鸡、狗、猪。如寅年出生的人属虎，卯年出生的人属兔。“生肖”也就是俗 话说的“属相”，是中国人特有的一种表示出生时间的方式，相当于西方的黄道十二星座 （双鱼座、白羊座、金牛座、双子座、巨蟹座、狮子座、室女座、天秤座、天蝎座、人马 座、摩羯麻、宝瓶座）。 英语中，当谈个人出生的属相时，表达为“What animal sign were you born under ?你 属什么？I was born in the year of the Cock
19、 / Mine is the Coak.我属鸡。”十二生 肖的12种动物在汉语中只有一个：鼠：Rat，牛：Ox，虎：Tiger，兔：Hare，龙：Dragon ，蛇：Snake，马：Horse，羊：Sheep，猴：Monkey，鸡：Cock，狗：Dog，猪：Boar。 汉语中，人们往往以十二生肖中的动物来比喻人，即把不同（性格、特征、习性等）的人 比作动物，如常以“毒如蛇蝎”，“笨猪”、“胆小如鼠”来比喻心毒手辣的人、笨人、 胆小怯懦的人等。英语中同样可用十二生肖中的动物喻人，其所表达的意思更加广泛而有 趣。现简述如下： 一. 鼠Rat 英语中用以比喻讨厌鬼，可耻的人，告密者，密探，破坏罢工的
20、人；美国俚语指新学生、下流女人。 当看到smell a rat这一词组时，是指人们怀疑在做错某事。a rat race则表示激烈的竞争 。rats desert a sinking ship（船沉鼠先逃，这一谚语意指那些一遇到危险就争先寻求 安全或一看见困难便躲得老远的人。） 二. 牛Ox 涉及“牛”的汉语成语很多，如“对牛弹琴”、“牛蹄之涔”等。英语中涉及“Ox”的表 达方式则不多。用Ox eyed形容眼睛大的人；用短语The black Ox has trod on sbs foot表示灾祸已降临到某人头上。 三. 虎Tiger 指凶恶的人，虎狼之徒；英国人指穿制服的马夫；口语中常指比赛的

23、的人，虚伪的人，卑鄙的人；美国俚语指追求和欺骗少女的男子或男阿飞。由 此看到，在英语中，“snake”往往含有贬义。如：Johns behavior should him to be a snake.约翰的行为表明他是一个冷酷阴险的人。与snake组成的成语习语、谚语有许多，简举几例： a snake in the grass.潜伏的敌人或危险。 to warm a snake in ones bosom.养虎贻患，姑息坏人。Takd heed of the snake in the grass.草里防蛇。 七. 马Horse 英美国家的人很喜欢马，因此，用“horse”这个词组成的词组、成语
