英语阅读典故谚语知识储备

① 讲一讲英语谚语的知识

英语中的谚语种类繁多。通过习语的学习可以掌握更多的习语的来源，了解更多的历史典故，丰富英语文化知识。是学习和提高英语的重要手段之一。英语习语一般是由若干单词构成的固定词组或句子，它有以下几个特点：

一、习语中词与词之间的组合具有固定性

二、习语的语义具有完整性

习语的语义是一个完整的不可分割的统一体，因此不能根据组成这个习语的各个单词的意思来理解习语，否则就会犯望文生义的错误。就是说组成习语的每个成分除了构成整体所必需的意义之外没有任何其它字典意义。例如：punone’s socks up(振作起来，鼓起勇气，加紧努力)，切不可根据组成这一习语的四个部分，把这个习语理解为“提起自己袜子”。

三、习语的整个构成形式经常具有非语法性

例如：习语“Diamond cut diamond”(强中更有强中手中)的动词不加词尾“s”尽管主语是第三人称单数。再如，“Carekilled the eat”(忧能伤人)中的动词是一般过去时。

四、具有历史性

英语习语都有深厚的历史和文化渊源，有的反映本民族的风俗习惯；有的包含有趣的历史史实或传说故事；有的习语来自《圣经》或莎士比亚的经典著作等。例如a baker’sdozen(十三个)：在中世纪，英国的法律极其严格，若面包师出售的面包缺斤少两就要受到重罚。为了避免偶尔的分量不足。面包师便在每打面包中免费多给一个。英国是个岛国，在英国没有哪一个地apple of discord(祸根，不和与争斗之源)源于希腊神话中的一个传说。珀琉斯和西蒂斯举行婚礼时，邀请奥林匹斯山上的众神参加婚宴，却忘了邀请专司争吵的女神厄里斯。厄里斯就把一只上面刻着“属于最美者”字样的金苹果，偷偷放在婚礼的宴会上。这就引起了天后赫拉、智慧女神雅典娜和爱与美女神阿芙罗狄蒂的争夺，她们都想把它据为己有。后来，特洛伊王子帕里斯出来评判，把苹果判给了阿芙罗狄蒂。从此赫拉和雅典娜就对帕里斯和特洛伊人怀恨在心，导致了历时十年的特洛伊战争，最终以特洛伊城的陷落而结束。有关古罗马的一些故事和传说，在英国人民中间也几乎是家喻户晓的，请看下例：Caesar’S wife must be above suspi．cion(身为凯撒妻，必须无可疑)(或：跟伟大人物有关系的人，必须洁身自爱无容怀疑)。凯撒是古罗马大将，其妻Pompeia与P．Clodius一案有所牵连，凯撒因此遗弃她。凯撒这样做，不是他相信妻子有罪，而是认为象他这样地位人的妻子不应该有犯罪的嫌疑。方离海洋的距离超过110英里的。因此，英国人民喜爱海洋，他们的生活和斗争与海洋和水运事业有着密切的关系，他们的很多谚语都是以海洋和水运事业为题材的。

五、丰富的文化性与深刻的思想性

英语谚语具有丰富的文化性，能使英语学习者了解英语民族的文化背景，感受东西文化的差异。例如：“Every Jackmust have his Jill”人各有偶。此谚语形成于公元十七世纪前半叶。在英语国家，Jack是常见的男子名，Jill而是常见的女子名，分别用来代表男子和女子。意为不要无事担扰，人人都有妻可娶。又如在基督教中，上帝是唯一的、至高无上的神，人际关系是平等的。英语谚语不仅具有丰富的文化性，还具有深刻的思想性。有些英语谚语蕴藏着深刻的哲理，闪耀着智慧的光芒，是人们生活、行动的指南。

六、语言凝炼。

富于音乐美和形象美，具有很高的艺术性它兼有诗的活泼、文的凝重、熟语的简练。它结构紧凑匀称、韵律优美和谐，念起来朗朗上口，听起来悦耳动听，有一种和谐的音乐美。不少英语谚语常借助于头韵、尾韵、对仗、重复等来增加音韵美。。很多英语谚语大量使用修辞格，使之精练简洁、形象生动、寓意深刻，具有强烈的艺术感染力和语言艺术美，使人们在得到经验教诲的同时，又得到了一次美好的艺术享受。英语谚语常用的修辞手段有明喻、暗喻、拟人、夸张、排比等。综上所述，英语谚语具有强烈的艺术感染力，从中可以使我们了解英语国家的社会历史、风土人情，可以使我们了解外国人的一些生活哲理。尤其是当我们在讲英语或用英语写文章时，适当地恰如其分地引用一些英语谚语，可以使我们的谈吐显得生动、幽默，文章显得形象感人，给人一种美的享受。令人们在诵读它们时，如饮甘泉，如吸芳香，那沁人心脾的艺术力量，每每会给读者留下难忘的印象。

谚语以简洁、扼要、机智的语言表达富有教育价值和警喻性的忠告。对于英文学习者而言，掌握英语谚语就掌握英语的精髓，从中也学到为人处世的道德准则，同时也可以把握英语发展的历史脉搏，随着社会经济文化的发展，人们将会领略到更多更精辟的新谚语。

② 英语谚语典故，急

The Dog in the Manger出自《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables)，有一篇狗站马槽的故事，说的是一头狗躺在堆满稻草的马槽里，狗是不吃草的动物，而当马或牛一走进稻草时，这头狗却朝着马，牛狂哮，不准食草动物享用。

因此，“狗站马槽”就成了一个家喻户晓的成语而进入英语中，常用来比喻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，讽刺那些占据说职位或某些物质却不做事的人。

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 英语谚语故事

一只猫的生命哲学:The Zen of Cat
原来很大的道理不一定需要很难的语言去解释，本文简单地一问一答告诉我们，当身边的人离去时，他们其实活在我们的心里；告诉我们，生命原本是一个无所谓开始更无所谓结束的圆圈；告诉我们，每一段生命的结束都意味着新生命的开始。只要心中还有爱，有思念，我们就可以笑对生死，珍惜人生。——题记 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.
男人非常伤心。他知道猫余下的日子不多了。医生说已经没得治了，他只能把猫带回家，并尽可能地让他在剩下的时间里过得舒服些。
男人把猫放在腿上，叹了口气。猫睁开眼睛，呼噜呼噜地叫着，抬眼看了看男人。一滴眼泪从男人的脸颊边滑落，落在了猫的额头上。猫有点不高兴地看了他一眼。
“你哭个什么啊，伙计？”猫问道，“因为你无法承受将要失去我的念头？因为你认为永远都没有什么能代替我？”男人点了点头。“是啊。”
“那么你认为我离开你以后，会到什么地方去了呢？”猫问道。男人无望地耸了耸肩。“闭上眼睛吧，伙计，”猫说。男人疑惑地看了他一眼，但还是听话地闭上了眼睛。
“我的眼睛和毛皮是什么颜色的？”猫问。“你的眼睛是金色的，你的毛皮是浓郁而温暖的褐色的。”男人回答道。
“那你最常在什么地方见到我呢？”猫问。“我经常见到你……在厨房地窗台上看鸟……在我最喜欢的椅子上……躺在桌子上我需要用的文件上……晚上睡在我脑袋边的枕头上。”“那么，无论什么时候你想见我，你只要闭上你的眼睛就可以了。”猫说。
“把地上的那段绳子捡起来——那里，我的‘玩具’。”男人睁开眼睛，伸手捡起了绳子。绳子大约有两英尺（约0.6米）长，猫曾经能够玩着绳子自娱自乐一玩就是几个小时。“现在用两只手捏住绳子的两端。”猫命令道。男人照做了。
“你左手捏着的那端就是我的出生，而右手的那端就是我的死亡。现在把两端连在一起。”猫说道。男人又照做了。
“你做出了一个连贯的圆圈，”猫说，“这个绳子上的任意一点同其他点有什么不同吗？比绳子的其他部分更好或者更差吗？”男人审视着那根绳子，然后摇了摇头。“没有。”
“再次闭上你的眼睛，”猫说，“现在舔舔你的手。”男人惊讶地睁大了眼睛。
“照我说的做吧，”猫说。“舔舔你的手，想想我在所有我熟悉的地方，想想所有的绳子。”
要舔自己的手，男人觉得很蠢，不过他还是照做了。他发现了猫所知道的秘密——舔爪子能让你平静下来，并让你能够思考得更加清楚。他继续舔着，他的嘴角开始上翘，好多天来第一次露出了微笑。他等待着猫叫停，可是没等到，于是他睁开了眼睛。猫的眼睛已经闭上了。他摸了摸猫温暖的褐色皮毛，可是猫已经去了。
男人用力地闭上了眼睛，泪如泉涌。他看到猫蹲在窗台上，然后是他的床上，然后躺在他的重要文件上。他看到猫在他脑袋边的枕头上，看到他明亮的金黄色的眼睛还有鼻子和耳朵上深褐色的毛发。他睁开眼睛，透过泪水看向他依然捏在手里的绳圈。
不久以后的某一天，他的膝上有了一只新的猫咪。她是一只可爱的白色花斑猫——与之前那只他深爱的猫是那么的不同，然而又是那么的相同。
