本年是蛇年。蛇与龙样,王人属于十二生肖。幼时,听老东谈主讲“属蛇”即是“属小龙”。龙代表刚猛,蛇标记柔韧,个刚,个柔。东谈主崇拜刚柔并济,以柔制刚。蛇是施行全国的生灵,而龙是模拟体魄细长的蛇而思象出来的据说动物。英语暗示“蛇”的词有snake(蛇)、serpent(巨蛇)、viper(蝰蛇)、 cobra(眼镜蛇)等,举例:
1. A snake is a crawling animal with a very long thin body and no legs.蛇是种体魄相配细长而足的爬步履物。
在西文化中,蛇常使东谈主联思到冒昧、凶恶和刁顽。《圣经·旧约》记录了 the Serpent in Eden 的故事。伊甸园之蛇招引夏娃(Eve)和亚当(Adam)偷吃禁果,唆使他们犯了原罪,使他们被逐出伊甸园。
snake/viper in one’s/the bosom 这个谚语源自古希腊伊索寓言(Aesop’s fable)。个农夫晦气冻僵的毒蛇,将其放入怀中,毒蛇苏醒后咬死了农夫。 snake in one’s/the bosom 的字面真理是“怀中的蛇”,譬如“背义负恩的东谈主”。 to cherish/nourish/nurse/rear/warm a snake/viper/serpent in one’s bosom 的字面真理是“把蛇揣在怀中”,其譬如道理是 to have a dangerous or ungrateful person close to oneself 或 to befriend a person who proves to be treacherous,至极于“护恶养奸”或“养虎遗患”,举例:
2. Never cherish a serpent in your bosom. 永远不要施惠于背义负恩之徒。
snake in the grass 这个谚语源自古罗马诗东谈主维吉尔(Virgil)的诗作《山歌》,其中有句至极于英语的 a snake that lurks in the grass,即“遮挡在草丛中的蛇”。英语谚语 snake in the grass 譬如 a person who pretends to be your friend but who cannot be trusted because he is secretly damaging you at the same time,或 a treacherous friend who is actually your secret enemy,即“冒昧庸东谈主”,举例:
3. He is a real snake in the grass. Don’t believe anything he says. 他是个真材实料的冒昧庸东谈主神农架塑料挤出机设备厂家。他说什么王人不要服气。
汉语中有些带“蛇”的谚语,塑料挤出机如蛇蝎心肠(have a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions)、毒如蛇蝎(to be as venomous as snakes and scorpions)、牛鬼蛇神(字面真理 ox-headed ghosts and snake-bodied demons,譬如道理 all sorts of bad characters, wicked people of all descriptions)、地头蛇(字面真理 snake in its old haunt,譬如道理 local villain, local bully)等,也具有冒昧凶恶的含义,举例:
4. 强龙难压地头蛇。 1) Even a mighty dragon finds it hard to control a snake in its old haunt.(字面真理) 2) A powerful outsider can hardly overwhelm a local bully.(譬如道理)
汉语另有些带“蛇”的谚语则与冒昧凶恶关:条理清晰(字面真理 with a tiger's head but a snake’s tail,譬如道理 fine start and poor finish),譬如先紧后松、有弥远的赫然反差;东谈主心不及蛇吞象(to be greedy like a snake that tries to swallow an elephant),譬如东谈主心的洽商;弄巧成拙(字面真理 to draw a snake and add feet to it,譬如道理 to ruin the effect by adding sth. superfluous, to do sth. entirely unnecessary),这里“蛇足”(字面真理 foot added to a snake,譬如道理 sth. superfluous)譬如填塞的事物;蛇影杯弓(字面真理 to mistake the reflection of a bow in the cup for a snake,譬如道理 to be extremely nervous or suspicious),譬如弥留疑心的神色。例句如:
文安县建仓机械厂5. 咱们论作念什么职责,王人不可条理清晰。 No matter what we do, we should not let the work tail off once it gets started.
6. 这个戏的结局着实是弄巧成拙。 The ending of the play has only ruined its effect.
不外,蛇并不老是负面的。民间故事和传统戏曲《白蛇传》(A Tale of the White Snake)塑造了白蛇(the White Snake)和青蛇(the Green Snake)两个动东谈主的正面艺术形象。
埃及和印度等国具有与蛇关系的文化,耍蛇(snake charming)是种传统的民间技能,举例:
7. The art of snake charming is widely believed to have started in ancient Egypt. 东谈主们无数觉得耍蛇术发源于古埃及。
8. Snake charming is the practice of pretending to hypnotize a snake by playing an instrument. 耍蛇是通过演吹打器假装给蛇催眠的举止。
9. In India, one can easily find a snake charmer performing in the market or on the street. The exotic sight of a mystic man with a basket across his shoulder has been a century’s old image of India. 在印度,东谈主们很容易在市集或街谈上发现耍蛇者在扮演。奥妙东谈主肩背竹篓的外乡姿色是印度个世纪以来的陈旧璀璨。
我国有谈的粤菜,名曰“龙虎斗”,其主料是蛇肉和狸猫肉,举例:
1. The famous dish in Guangdong Province, called “the Fight Between the Dragon and the Tiger” is actually braised snake and leopard cat. 这谈叫作“龙虎斗”的广东名菜本体上是炖蛇肉和狸猫肉。
