英語閱讀典故諺語知識儲備

① 講一講英語諺語的知識

英語中的諺語種類繁多。通過習語的學習可以掌握更多的習語的來源，了解更多的歷史典故，豐富英語文化知識。是學習和提高英語的重要手段之一。英語習語一般是由若干單詞構成的固定片語或句子，它有以下幾個特點：

一、習語中詞與詞之間的組合具有固定性

二、習語的語義具有完整性

習語的語義是一個完整的不可分割的統一體，因此不能根據組成這個習語的各個單詞的意思來理解習語，否則就會犯望文生義的錯誤。就是說組成習語的每個成分除了構成整體所必需的意義之外沒有任何其它字典意義。例如：punone』s socks up(振作起來，鼓起勇氣，加緊努力)，切不可根據組成這一習語的四個部分，把這個習語理解為「提起自己襪子」。

三、習語的整個構成形式經常具有非語法性

例如：習語「Diamond cut diamond」(強中更有強中手中)的動詞不加詞尾「s」盡管主語是第三人稱單數。再如，「Carekilled the eat」(憂能傷人)中的動詞是一般過去時。

四、具有歷史性

英語習語都有深厚的歷史和文化淵源，有的反映本民族的風俗習慣；有的包含有趣的歷史史實或傳說故事；有的習語來自《聖經》或莎士比亞的經典著作等。例如a baker』sdozen(十三個)：在中世紀，英國的法律極其嚴格，若麵包師出售的麵包缺斤少兩就要受到重罰。為了避免偶爾的分量不足。麵包師便在每打麵包中免費多給一個。英國是個島國，在英國沒有哪一個地apple of discord(禍根，不和與爭斗之源)源於希臘神話中的一個傳說。珀琉斯和西蒂斯舉行婚禮時，邀請奧林匹斯山上的眾神參加婚宴，卻忘了邀請專司爭吵的女神厄里斯。厄里斯就把一隻上面刻著「屬於最美者」字樣的金蘋果，偷偷放在婚禮的宴會上。這就引起了天後赫拉、智慧女神雅典娜和愛與美女神阿芙羅狄蒂的爭奪，她們都想把它據為己有。後來，特洛伊王子帕里斯出來評判，把蘋果判給了阿芙羅狄蒂。從此赫拉和雅典娜就對帕里斯和特洛伊人懷恨在心，導致了歷時十年的特洛伊戰爭，最終以特洛伊城的陷落而結束。有關古羅馬的一些故事和傳說，在英國人民中間也幾乎是家喻戶曉的，請看下例：Caesar』S wife must be above suspi．cion(身為凱撒妻，必須無可疑)(或：跟偉大人物有關系的人，必須潔身自愛無容懷疑)。凱撒是古羅馬大將，其妻Pompeia與P．Clodius一案有所牽連，凱撒因此遺棄她。凱撒這樣做，不是他相信妻子有罪，而是認為象他這樣地位人的妻子不應該有犯罪的嫌疑。方離海洋的距離超過110英里的。因此，英國人民喜愛海洋，他們的生活和斗爭與海洋和水運事業有著密切的關系，他們的很多諺語都是以海洋和水運事業為題材的。

五、豐富的文化性與深刻的思想性

英語諺語具有豐富的文化性，能使英語學習者了解英語民族的文化背景，感受東西文化的差異。例如：「Every Jackmust have his Jill」人各有偶。此諺語形成於公元十七世紀前半葉。在英語國家，Jack是常見的男子名，Jill而是常見的女子名，分別用來代表男子和女子。意為不要無事擔擾，人人都有妻可娶。又如在基督教中，上帝是唯一的、至高無上的神，人際關系是平等的。英語諺語不僅具有豐富的文化性，還具有深刻的思想性。有些英語諺語蘊藏著深刻的哲理，閃耀著智慧的光芒，是人們生活、行動的指南。

六、語言凝煉。

富於音樂美和形象美，具有很高的藝術性它兼有詩的活潑、文的凝重、熟語的簡練。它結構緊湊勻稱、韻律優美和諧，念起來朗朗上口，聽起來悅耳動聽，有一種和諧的音樂美。不少英語諺語常藉助於頭韻、尾韻、對仗、重復等來增加音韻美。。很多英語諺語大量使用修辭格，使之精練簡潔、形象生動、寓意深刻，具有強烈的藝術感染力和語言藝術美，使人們在得到經驗教誨的同時，又得到了一次美好的藝術享受。英語諺語常用的修辭手段有明喻、暗喻、擬人、誇張、排比等。綜上所述，英語諺語具有強烈的藝術感染力，從中可以使我們了解英語國家的社會歷史、風土人情，可以使我們了解外國人的一些生活哲理。尤其是當我們在講英語或用英語寫文章時，適當地恰如其分地引用一些英語諺語，可以使我們的談吐顯得生動、幽默，文章顯得形象感人，給人一種美的享受。令人們在誦讀它們時，如飲甘泉，如吸芳香，那沁人心脾的藝術力量，每每會給讀者留下難忘的印象。

諺語以簡潔、扼要、機智的語言表達富有教育價值和警喻性的忠告。對於英文學習者而言，掌握英語諺語就掌握英語的精髓，從中也學到為人處世的道德准則，同時也可以把握英語發展的歷史脈搏，隨著社會經濟文化的發展，人們將會領略到更多更精闢的新諺語。

② 英語諺語典故，急

The Dog in the Manger出自《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables)，有一篇狗站馬槽的故事，說的是一頭狗躺在堆滿稻草的馬槽里，狗是不吃草的動物，而當馬或牛一走進稻草時，這頭狗卻朝著馬，牛狂哮，不準食草動物享用。

因此，「狗站馬槽」就成了一個家喻戶曉的成語而進入英語中，常用來比喻a person who prevents others from enjoying sth that is useless to himself; a churlish fellow who will neither use a thing himself nor let others use it，諷刺那些占據說職位或某些物質卻不做事的人。

The Dog in the Manger is a fable attributed to Aesop, concerning a dog who one afternoon lay down to sleep in the manger. On being awoken, he ferociously kept the cattle in the farm from eating the hay on which he chose to sleep, even though he was unable to eat it himself, leading an ox to mutter the moral of the fable:

People often begrudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.

The phrase is proverbial, referring to people who prevent others from having something that they themselves have no use for. A typical example is the child who discards a toy — until a sibling tries to play with it. Then the first child becomes possessive about something they no longer wanted.

A twist on the story was used by Charles Schulz in a "Peanuts" strip, in which Lucy van Pelt acquires a baseball card of Charlie Brown's favorite player, and she refuses to give it to him. After he leaves disconsolately, she decides she doesn't really like the card that well, and throws it away.

In Spanish, the story is called El Perro del Hortelano, or The Vegetable Gardener's Dog.

The metaphor is also attributed to Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas by comparing the dog with the Pharisees.

故事：
1、The Wolf and the Lamb
A WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying,"Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute everyone of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

2、The Bat and the Weasels
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped. It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

3、The Lion and the Mouse

A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by st ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set him free, exclaim "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; I now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."

4、The Father and His Sons

A FATHER had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

5、A CHARCOAL-BURNER carried on his trade in his own house. One day he met a friend, a Fuller, and entreated him to come and live with him, saying that they should be far better neighbors and that their housekeeping expenses would be lessened. The Fuller replied, "The arrangement is impossible as far as I am concerned, for whatever I should whiten, you would immediately blacken again with your charcoal." Like will draw like.

⑨ 英語諺語故事

一隻貓的生命哲學:The Zen of Cat
原來很大的道理不一定需要很難的語言去解釋，本文簡單地一問一答告訴我們，當身邊的人離去時，他們其實活在我們的心裡；告訴我們，生命原本是一個無所謂開始更無所謂結束的圓圈；告訴我們，每一段生命的結束都意味著新生命的開始。只要心中還有愛，有思念，我們就可以笑對生死，珍惜人生。——題記 The Man was very sad. He knew that the Cat』s days were numbered.The doctor had said there wasn』t anything more that could be done,that he should take the Cat home and make him as comfortable as possible.
The man stroked the Cat on his lap and sighed.The Cat opened his eyes, purred and looked up at the Man. A tear rolled down the Man』s cheek and landed on the Cat』s forehead.The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
「Why do you cry, Man？」the Cat asded.「Because you can』t bear the thought of losing me？ Because you think you can never replace me？」The Man nodded 「yes.」
「And where do you think I』ll be when I leave you？」the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. 「Close your eyes, Man,」 the Cat said. The Man gave him a questioning look, but did as he was told.
「What color are my eyes and fur？」 the Cat asked. 「Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich, warm brown,」 the Man replied.
「And where is it that you most often see me？」asked the Cat. 「I see you…on the kitchen windowsill watching the birds…on my favorite chair…on my desk lying on the papers I need…on the pillow next to my head at night.」 「Then, whenever you wish to see me, all you must do is close your eyes,」 said the Cat.
「Pick up that piece of string from the floor——there, my 『toy.』」 The Man opened his eyes, then reached over and picked up the string. It was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it. 「Now take each end of the string in one hand,」 the Cat ordered. The Man did so.
「The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my death. Now bring the two ends together,」 the Cat said. The Man complied.
「You have made a continuous circle,」 said the cat.「Does any point along the string appear to be different, worse or better than any other part of the string？」 The Man inspected the string and then shook his head 「no.」
「Close your eyes again,」 the Cat said.「Now lick your hand.」 The Man widened his eyes in surprise.
「Just do it,」 the Cat said.「Lick your hand,think of me in all my familiar places, think about all the pieces of string.」
The Man felt foolish, licking his hand, but he did as he was told. He discovered what a cat must know, that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly. He continued licking and the corners of his mouth turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days. He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop,and when he didn』t, he opened his eyes. The Cat』s eyes were closed.The Man stroked the warm, brown fur, but the Cat was gone.
The Man shut his eyes hard as the tears poured down his face. He saw the Cat on the windowsill, then in his bed, then lying across his important papers. He saw him on the pillow next to his head, saw his bright gold eyes and darkest brown on his nose and ears. He opened his eyes and through his tears looked over at the circle of string he still held clutched in his hand.
One day, not long after, there was a new Cat on his lap. She was a lovely calico and white…very different from his earlier beloved Cat and very much the same.
男人非常傷心。他知道貓餘下的日子不多了。醫生說已經沒得治了，他只能把貓帶回家，並盡可能地讓他在剩下的時間里過得舒服些。
男人把貓放在腿上，嘆了口氣。貓睜開眼睛，呼嚕呼嚕地叫著，抬眼看了看男人。一滴眼淚從男人的臉頰邊滑落，落在了貓的額頭上。貓有點不高興地看了他一眼。
「你哭個什麼啊，伙計？」貓問道，「因為你無法承受將要失去我的念頭？因為你認為永遠都沒有什麼能代替我？」男人點了點頭。「是啊。」
「那麼你認為我離開你以後，會到什麼地方去了呢？」貓問道。男人無望地聳了聳肩。「閉上眼睛吧，伙計，」貓說。男人疑惑地看了他一眼，但還是聽話地閉上了眼睛。
「我的眼睛和毛皮是什麼顏色的？」貓問。「你的眼睛是金色的，你的毛皮是濃郁而溫暖的褐色的。」男人回答道。
「那你最常在什麼地方見到我呢？」貓問。「我經常見到你……在廚房地窗檯上看鳥……在我最喜歡的椅子上……躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上……晚上睡在我腦袋邊的枕頭上。」「那麼，無論什麼時候你想見我，你只要閉上你的眼睛就可以了。」貓說。
「把地上的那段繩子撿起來——那裡，我的『玩具』。」男人睜開眼睛，伸手撿起了繩子。繩子大約有兩英尺（約0.6米）長，貓曾經能夠玩著繩子自娛自樂一玩就是幾個小時。「現在用兩只手捏住繩子的兩端。」貓命令道。男人照做了。
「你左手捏著的那端就是我的出生，而右手的那端就是我的死亡。現在把兩端連在一起。」貓說道。男人又照做了。
「你做出了一個連貫的圓圈，」貓說，「這個繩子上的任意一點同其他點有什麼不同嗎？比繩子的其他部分更好或者更差嗎？」男人審視著那根繩子，然後搖了搖頭。「沒有。」
「再次閉上你的眼睛，」貓說，「現在舔舔你的手。」男人驚訝地睜大了眼睛。
「照我說的做吧，」貓說。「舔舔你的手，想想我在所有我熟悉的地方，想想所有的繩子。」
要舔自己的手，男人覺得很蠢，不過他還是照做了。他發現了貓所知道的秘密——舔爪子能讓你平靜下來，並讓你能夠思考得更加清楚。他繼續舔著，他的嘴角開始上翹，好多天來第一次露出了微笑。他等待著貓叫停，可是沒等到，於是他睜開了眼睛。貓的眼睛已經閉上了。他摸了摸貓溫暖的褐色皮毛，可是貓已經去了。
男人用力地閉上了眼睛，淚如泉涌。他看到貓蹲在窗檯上，然後是他的床上，然後躺在他的重要文件上。他看到貓在他腦袋邊的枕頭上，看到他明亮的金黃色的眼睛還有鼻子和耳朵上深褐色的毛發。他睜開眼睛，透過淚水看向他依然捏在手裡的繩圈。
不久以後的某一天，他的膝上有了一隻新的貓咪。她是一隻可愛的白色花斑貓——與之前那隻他深愛的貓是那麼的不同，然而又是那麼的相同。
