語言是博大精深的，諺語閃耀著各個國家的藝術特色，那么英語諺語可以怎樣進行翻譯呢?今天醫學翻譯公司帶大家了解一下。

　　Language is broad and profound, proverbs shine with the artistic characteristics of various countries, so how can English proverbs be translated? Today, the Medical Translation Company takes you to know about it.

　　1、直譯法

　　1. Literal translation

　　直譯法不僅能夠傳達英語諺語中所承載的文化信息，而且能產生較高的文化信息傳遞的有效度，同時還保留了英語諺語的民族色彩和文化特點，使中國讀者能更好地感覺英語文化。這種譯法是把忠實于原文內容放在第一位,把忠實于原文形式放在第二位,把通順的譯文形式放在第三位。

　　Literal translation can not only convey the cultural information contained in English proverbs, but also produce a higher efficiency of cultural information transmission. At the same time, it retains the national color and cultural characteristics of English proverbs, so that Chinese readers can feel English culture better. This method of translation puts faithfulness to the content of the original text in the first place, faithfulness to the form of the original text in the second place, and fluency in the form of the translation in the third place.

　　2、意譯法

　　2. Free Translation

　　有些英語諺語的表達方式因含有英語國家所特有的歷史典故或文化背景，在直譯過來后，中國讀者很難理解。采取意譯，即舍棄原文形象、比喻，抓住內容、喻義，結合上下文靈活傳達原意。這種譯法是把忠實于原文的內容放在第一位,把通順的譯文形式放在第二位,而不拘泥于原文形式放在第三位。

　　Some English proverbs contain historical allusions or cultural backgrounds peculiar to English-speaking countries. It is difficult for Chinese readers to understand them after literal translation. To adopt free translation means to abandon the image and metaphor of the original text, grasp the content and meaning, and convey the original meaning flexibly in combination with the context. This translation method puts the content of faithfulness to the original text in the first place, and the smooth form of translation in the second place, rather than sticking to the form of the original text in the third place.

　　3、反譯法

　　3. Anti-translation

　　所謂反譯法就是指原文從正面表達的，譯文可以從反面著筆翻譯。一些用肯定形式的英語諺語，往往有否定的含義;另一些用否定形式的英語諺語，往往有肯定的含義。這些英語諺語在漢譯時一般要用反譯法來處理。

　　The so-called reverse translation means that the original text is expressed from the positive side, and the translation can be translated from the negative side. Some English proverbs in positive form often have negative meanings; others in negative form often have positive meanings. These English proverbs are usually translated into Chinese by means of retranslation.

　　4、對應借譯法

　　4. Corresponding Loan Translation

　　有些英語諺語和漢語諺語在表現形式和含義方面是一致的或基本一致的。漢譯這些英語諺語時，可借用與其喻義相同或相近的諺語直接對譯。這樣不但可以比較好地保持原文的神韻和形式，又使譯文易于為中國讀者接受。

　　Some English proverbs and Chinese proverbs are identical in form and meaning. When translating these English proverbs into Chinese, they can be translated directly by borrowing proverbs with the same or similar metaphorical meanings. In this way, not only the verve and form of the original text can be well maintained, but also the translation can be easily accepted by Chinese readers.

　　5、前后倒譯法

　　5. Back-and-forth Translation

　　由于英漢兩種語言的語法規則和語序排列的不同，在翻譯時將結尾部分移到前面，或者將前一部分移到后面，這種調整稱作倒譯。英語諺語漢譯時，其譯文不但達意，而且十分流暢優美。

　　Due to the differences in grammatical rules and word order between English and Chinese, it is called retranslation to move the ending part to the front or the former part to the back when translating. When English proverbs are translated into Chinese, their translation is not only expressive, but also very smooth and graceful.

　　6、增詞加注法

　　6. Addition and annotation

　　有些英語諺語帶有濃厚的民族色彩、地方色彩或具有典故性質,漢譯時必須加注才能把意思交代清楚愿意,這種翻譯法叫做增詞加注法。

　　Some English proverbs have strong national color, local color or allusive nature. It is necessary to add annotations in Chinese translation to make the meaning clear and willing. This translation method is called adding words and annotations.

　　7、直譯兼意譯法

　　7. Literal and free translation

　　有時在翻譯英語諺語時，單純的直譯或意譯都不能確切、有效地表達原來諺語的含義。這時可采用直譯、意譯相結合的方法進行翻譯，以彌補直譯難達意，意譯難傳神的不足。在直譯后再加上諺語的真實含義，以期收到畫龍點睛的效果。

　　Sometimes when translating English proverbs, neither literal translation nor free translation can express the meaning of the original proverbs accurately and effectively. At this time, literal translation and free translation can be combined to make up for the inadequacy of literal translation and free translation. After literal translation, the true meaning of proverbs is added in order to get the finishing touch.

　　8、同義諺語套用法

　　8. Synonymous Proverbs

　　英語諺語和漢語諺語雖然屬于不同的文化體系，但有的英語諺語和漢語諺語在內容和形式上都相符合,雙方不但有相同的意義和修辭色彩,并且有相同的或大體相同的形象比喻。

　　Although English proverbs and Chinese proverbs belong to different cultural systems, some English proverbs and Chinese proverbs are consistent in content and form. They not only have the same meaning and rhetoric, but also have the same or generally the same image metaphor.
