英语谚语有一部分来自书面文献，主要出自希腊罗马神话、寓言故事、莎士比亚戏剧以及一些名家作品中。流传于民间口语中的谚语，伴随着文字的产生，开始出现在各种文学作品和文化典籍中。

这些源自文化典籍的"雅谚"，有些是在民间口语说法的基础上提炼打磨而成，而有些则属独创，有着鲜明的文化色彩、语体特色和教育警策作用。英语谚语以其令人们熟知的形象和比喻体现了人们世代积累的经验和形成的价值观，它们作为社会共享的口头文学的袖珍版本，被成百上千次地引用，成为说服他人的论据，并用以指导日常生活。

谚语是民间集体创造、广为口传、言简意赅并较为定型的艺术语句，是民众丰富智慧和普遍经验的规律性总结。根据内容，可以分为四类：（1）气象谚语。

气象谚语是认识自然和总结生产经验的谚语，如"长虫过道，大雨要到"、"东北有三宝：人参、貂皮、乌拉草"等。（2）农业谚语。

农业谚语是农民在生产实践中总结出来的农事经验，如"枣芽发，种棉花"、"今冬麦盖三层被，来年枕着馒头睡"、"瑞雪兆丰年"等。（3）生活谚语。

生活谚语是人们根据卫生保健知识概括而成的谚语，如"寒从脚起，病从口入"、"早晨起得早，八十不觉老"等。（4）社会谚语。

社会谚语泛指为人处世、接物待人、持家治国等方面应注意的事，如："量小非君子，无毒不丈夫"、"人不可貌相，海水不可斗量"、"若要人不知，除非己莫为"等。

5.有关英语俗语的文化内涵及其特点

英语习语是英语语言文化中不容忽视的重要组成部分。

英语习语折射着英语语言民族在地理、历史、宗教信仰、生活习俗等方面丰富的文化信息和独特的文化特色。准确掌握英语中的习语， 能帮助我们深刻理解英语词汇中的文化内涵及文化差异， 从而更加准确、传神地使用英语。

一、引言 语言是人在劳动中创造的，习语是语言特征的集中反映，它来自于普通百姓的生产劳动和生活经历，是语言的精华、语言的缩影；语言是一个任意的符号系统，习语是人在长期的语言实践中约定俗成的；语言是以交际为目的的，习语的起源就是在口头交际中使用最频繁的俚语和俗语；语言是人类智慧的表现，习语比较集中地反映出语言的修辞手段和表现手法（其中相当一部分是文学巨匠的精彩词句）；语言是为人类各种活动服务的，而习语恰好生动地反映出人类生活的方方面面。 广义的习语包含比喻性词组、俚语、格言、俗语、谚语、典故等，是语言发展的结晶。

英语语言历史悠久，包含着大量的习语，它们或含蓄、幽默、或严肃、典雅，不仅言简意赅，而且形象生动，妙趣横生，给语言增色不少。由于地理、历史、宗教信仰和生活习俗等多方面的因素决定，习语承载着英语语言民族的文化信息和文化特色，并与它们的文化传统紧密相连，不可分割。

而对英语习语的学习有助于我们掌握英语本族语者的真实语言，了解语言背后所隐藏着的丰富而有趣的文化信息。二、英语习语中隐含的历史背景 1、罗马人的痕迹 公元前49年，罗马执政庞贝和元老院共谋进攻恺撒。

当时恺撒的领地和意大利本部交界处有条小河Rubicon。恺撒不顾一切，悍然率领军队渡过此河与庞贝决战。

在渡河时他说"The die is cast."骰子已经掷下， 表明义无反顾。过了河，他还烧毁了渡船，（ burn the boats） 逼得士兵毫无退路，只好勇往直前， 打败了敌人。

就是这样一段历史故事， 在英语中留下了几个常见的习语： cross the Rubicon（ 渡过鲁比肯河） 喻意决定冒重大危险， 采取断然行动； burn one's boats（ 烧掉自己的船） 表示破釜沉舟的决心； The die is cast. （ 骰子已经掷下） 预示着事情已经决定， 再也不能改变。 2、条顿人的征服 条顿人， 即居住在西北欧的3个日耳曼部落， 他们是盎格鲁人、萨克逊人和朱特人。

约在公元449 年， 他们开始征服不列颠。他们的入侵给英语带来了极大的影响， 并最终形成盎格鲁-萨克逊语， 即现代英语的起源。

条顿人的征服对英语的影响是全面的， 起决定作用的， 从很多英语习语还可以找到条顿人征服的影子。如cut someone to the quick 意为"大伤某人的感情"， quick 这里指"皮肉"，这个解释源于古撒克逊语。

Go through fire and water是"赴汤蹈火"的意思， 源自盎格鲁- 撒克逊时期的中世纪判罪法。 3、斯堪的纳维亚风暴 公元790年开始，斯堪的纳维亚人入侵英国，并在英国大批定居，他们讲的是北日耳曼语， 是现在的瑞典语、芬兰语、挪威语和冰岛语的前身。

在此后的二百年中，许多斯堪的纳维亚各族语言（北日耳曼语）的词语渗入英语词汇。据估计，现代英语中约有900个斯堪的纳维亚各族语言的单词或构词成分。

斯堪的纳维亚各族语言对英语的渗透特别深入。最常用的习语rain cats and dogs， 来自北欧神化：古代斯堪的纳维亚人的主神是奥丁（Odin），狗（dog）和狼（wolf）象征"风"，猫（cat）象征"雨"，所以该习语喻指"狂风暴雨"。

4、诺曼底登陆 公元1066年，诺曼底公爵威廉入侵英国，并建立了诺曼底王朝。这一事件对英国的影响巨大。

它使法语成为现代英语的三大来源之一。同时，法国文化逐渐向英国社会渗透， 影响着英语及其习语。

如： return to one's mutton 原是直译自法国田园诗中的一句： 多情的男女牧羊人在牧场上谈情说爱、海阔天空，最终还得回到现实，回到自己的羊群中来。因此，这一习语比喻"回到实际问题，言归正传"。

三、英语习语体现自然地理环境特征 生活在不同自然环境中的人会形成不同的文化， 每种文化因其地域、气候环境的特点而具有不同的特征， 习语恰恰包含了独特的文化基因。
