My Favorite Chinese Proverb

China is a country with long history.There are many proverbs in our daily life ,but I prefer “只要功夫深铁杵磨成针”to any others.This proverb’s surface meaning is that “If you work at it hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle”.We can see the inside meaning of this proverb is that you can be succeed if you work hard or persistence can solve any problem from the surface meaning.I have to say this is a proverb that you can benefit a lot and that is useful throughout your life.

It has a long history,as it were,it is also a tiny part of Chinese history that can be traced back to Tang dynasty and that is related to a famous poet whose name is Li Bai.What is the literary quotation of it? Actually,our well-known Li Bai didn’t like study as many of us,and he throwed books away to play outside.One day,he met a white-haired woman who was holding a large iron rod on a stone to mill.Li Bai was so curious about the action that asked what the old lady did.The kind lady told Li Bai she wanted to become the iron rod into a neddle.Li Bai was deeply moved and edified some philosophy by the action of the old and great lady.Since then,he paid his attention to study,and he become a celebrated poet finally.From that period,the proverb is used in daily life,and it has been used for many years.

The American distinguished essayist Emerson as well as a thinker and poet who has said the similar meaning that the greats’ sign is perseverance,whatever the situation is,which is different from others as this proverb.There are three ancient Chinese stories that is Nangyingyingxue, reading by the light of bagged fireflies or the reflected light of snow,Xuanliangcigu, tying one's hair on the house beam and jab one's side with an awl to keep oneself awake,and Zaobitouguang, boring a hole on the wall in order to get some light from the neighbour's house,to illustrate this proverb is right,useful and meaningful.

According to my opinion, this proverb suggest us that we should persist in everything for achieving our goals or dreams.In other word,we should be in pursuit of

perseverance which is bamboo,whatever suffers violent storms or great storms,that he can stand there as the same as original figure.In our daily life,no matter what the dreams or goals are out of reach,different or arduous,we can not loose our heart or confidence.On the contrary,what we should do is what the proverb tells us that put our goals into many small parts or periods.So long as we finish every small parts,we can harvest our effort fruit.Although the process is not flat,just like the process of grinding an iron rod into a needle,but if we work hard as much as possible,we can complete it in the end.

By the way,life is an iron rod that is needed to grind it day by day and step by step. Actually,I am a person who can not pay all attention to one thing.I am willing to give up my goal or dream once I meet difficulties.This proverb is the light or navigation in my way of achieving dreams and goals.Owing to it,I find my direction and realize what I really want to pursue.Believe yourself,only if you work hard enough and insist on your dream and goal,you will,as the iron rod becoming into an exquisite neddle,achieve your dream.

Interpreting Idioms谚语翻译

Interpreting Idioms

Both English and Chinese are particularly rich in idioms. Idioms are so vivid, terse, colloquial, and forcible in conveying a particular meaning that they are frequently used by speakers of both languages. Chinese and English idioms came into being under different historical, geographical, cultural and social backgrounds, so they contain different stories reflecting different environment, life, history, culture and values of the native speakers. It is surely no easy thing to understand idioms, let alone interpret them off-handed. One can hardly expect to provide a satisfactory rendition of an idiom unless he is guided by the correct method and, at the same time, manages to get an accurate understanding of its implied meaning through its surface structure according to the context.

1. Definition of Idioms

Idioms can be understood both in a broad sense an din a narrow one. In the narrow sense, they simply refer to the set phrases or clauses used in a language. Broadly speaking, they comprise all the idiomatic and special expressions in that language, including, in this context, all the set phrases, colloquialisms, proverbs, slang and clichés in English, and all the four-character set phrases（成语）, common sayings（俗

语）, proverbs and two-part allegorical sayings(歇后语) （of which the first part is descriptive and the second part carries the message） in Chinese. It is their broad sense that we are discussing in this unit. Hence, an idiom can be defined as a group of words with meaning different from the combined meanings of its component words. It is a combination of two or more words which are usually structurally fixed and semantically hard to understand, and function as a single unit of meaning. For example, “red tape” is an English idiom which means “official rules and procedures that seem unnecessary and cause delay.” But one can hardly guess its meaning from the individual words that form it, for these words have already lost their original meaning.

An idiomatic expression is an established form that has been accepted by traditional usage. The words in it cannot, as a rule, be depleted or replaced by synonymous words, or put in a different order, without affecting or destroying the meaning. Therefore, the component words, the word order and the meaning of each idiom must be remembered as a whole.

2. Methods of Interpreting Idioms

2.1. Borrowing (借用法) or Idiom for Idiom (以习语译习

语)

As we mentioned previously, both Chinese and English abound in idioms. Some idioms in one language contain images, descriptions and meanings identical to idioms in the other language. This is because certain natural and human experiences are shared by the whole mankind wherever they live. There are also idioms that express the same meanings though they don’t have identical metaphors or images. In both cases, we might as well borrow them directly from the target language so as to retain their vividness and achieve equivalence in effect. For example:

一箭双雕（一举两得）

混水摸鱼fish in troubled water

三思而后行 Look before you leap.

有志者，事竟成。

无风不起浪。There is no smoke without fire.

饥不择食 Hungry dogs will eat dirty puddings.

一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳。A burnt child dreads fire. / Once bitten, twice shy.

滴水穿石Constant dripping wears the stone.

破釜沉舟 to burn one’s boat

隔墙有耳 Walls have ears.

积少成多 Many a little makes a mickle.

一言既出，驷马难追 What is said cannot be unsaid.
