To kill two birds with one stone. 译文：一石双鸟
Do you see any green in my eye? 建议译文：
你以为我是好欺骗的吗？ 而非：
你从我的眼睛里看到绿色了吗？ 而“chain reaction”可以译为：
连锁反应 保持?异国情调?丰富本族语。
译者要把“直译”和“意译”灵活地结合起来。 例如：
Ruth was upsetting the other children, so I showed her the door.
译文：鲁丝一直在困扰别的孩子，我就把他撵了出去。 而非：鲁丝一直在困扰别的孩子，我就把门指给她。 ３. 校 对
校对重点（见张培基pp15-17） 第四节 对翻译工作者的要求
1. 汉语功底要好。借助教材掌握好汉语语法。多读名著，学习汉语表达法。 2. 英语能力强。包括?词汇量不少于一万，掌握英语语法?。 3. 知识面宽。
4. 熟悉一些翻译理论、方法和技巧。 习语的译法
P160-169, 张培基
习语（idioms）包括俗语(colloquialisms)、谚语(proverbs)、和俚语(slang expressions)。 习语汉译主要方法：（１）直译；（２）汉语同义套用和（３）意译法。 一、 译 法
在不违反译文语言规范以及不引起错误联想的情况下，在译文中保留英语习语的比喻、形象和民族特色的译法。例如： P161， 张培基
Knit one?s brow皱眉头
Last but not least最后但不是最重要的一点 Laugh in sb?s heart 当面嘲笑 Have pity on sb 同情某人 Tower of ivory Sour grapes
As wise as Solomon A Judas Kiss
Crocodile tears new wine in old bottles
二、汉语同义习语的套用法
有的英语习语和汉语同义习语在内容和形式上都相符合，双方不但有相同的意义和修辞色彩，并且有相同的或者大体相同的形象比喻。在这种情况下，不妨直截了当的套用汉语同义习语。例如： P162, 张培基 e.g.,
burn the boat 破釜成舟 castle in the air 空中楼阁
a bolt from the blue 晴天霹雳 after one?s own heart 正中下怀 hang by a hair 千钧一发
kill the goose that lays the gold eggs 杀鸡取卵
reap what one has sown 自食其果；飞蛾扑火；自作自受 lick sb?s boots 拍马屁 put on air 摆架子 butter sb up 灌米汤
give the green light 开绿灯 pour cold water on 泼冷水
三、意译法
如果不可能或者没有必要用直译法保留英语习语的表达形式，并且在汉语中也找不到合适的同义习语可以套用，那么就意译。例如：
1. The teenagers don?t invite Bob to their parties because he is a wet blanket. (一个扫兴的人) 2. Among so many well-dressed and cultural people, the country girl felt like a fish out of water. (很不自在)
3. To break the ice(打破沉默), Ted spoke of his interest in mountain climbing, and they soon had a conversation going.
4.He was in the seventh heaven last night.
据Longman Dictionary of English:, in the seventh heaven＝in a state of great happiness or contentment
七重天指上帝和天使居住的地方，所以in the seventh heaven可以译为“欢天喜地”
5.in a pig?s whisper 低声地 draw blood 伤感情
hang on sb?s lips 对某人言听计从 make a monkey of 愚弄
to be full of beans 精力旺盛 a skeleton in the feast 扫兴的东西
bury one?s head in the sand 采取鸵鸟政策 四、避免望文生义 例如：
１.pull one?s leg 误译： 拉后腿 正译：愚弄某人
2. move heaven and earth 误译：翻天覆地 正译：想方设法
3.child?s play 误译： 儿戏 正译： 简单的东西
4.eat one?s words 误译：食言 正译：承认自己说错了话
5.dog-eat-dog 误译：狗咬狗 正译：残酷争夺；人吃人的关系 五、惯用语翻译的例子 １．完全直译
tear up by the roots 连根拔 like a swarm of bees 一窝蜂 ２．部分直译，部分意译 pack up and quit 卷铺盖 whisper in sb?s ear 咬耳朵 ３．意译
a layman 门外汉
a bush telephone 小广播
irresponsible and sarcastic remarks 风凉话 dish up the same old stuff 炒冷饭 六、俚语的译法
俚语时比较通俗的口头语，有的带有粗俗性，有的带有方言性。它包括委婉语、赌咒语和粗俗语三种。 （一） 委婉语 １） 死
to go to sleep to be no more to close one?s eyes to expire to pass away to end one?s day to breathe one?s last to go west
to pay the debt of nature 2)怀孕
