2. 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。

希望能帮到你。
