1. 人山人海：在诗词用语（poetic expression）里，老外也有使用：“a (the) sea of faces”，颇有咱的“人山人海”的味道。例如：Looking out upon the sea of faces, Mr. A delivered a touching speech.（望着一片人山人海的听众，A先生发表一篇动人的演说。）Standing at his podium, President Clinton saw a sea of faces waving at him.（克林顿总统站在讲台上看到人山人海的人群挥手向他致意。）。可见，说话者通常要在台上或高处，才有“人海”的感觉。因此，可以说：“I saw a sea of faces from the top of the building. ”但在平地的人群中，就不说：“I saw the sea of faces.”也不说：“There is a sea of faces.”只说：“I saw a large crowd of people.”

2、家家有本难念的经：有人译成：“Every family cooking － pot has a black spot.”（意思是：每个家庭的锅子都有黑色的污点。）这样说法，老外恐怕不能充分了解。不过老外最常的说法是：“Many families have skeletons in the closet.（许多家庭的衣柜里都有骨骸，骨骸就是指家丑。）”；或者说：“Every family has its own source of shame.（每个家庭都有自己的丑事）”；说白些，就是：“Every family has its own problem.”

3、天下无不散的宴席：有人直译为：“There are no feasts in the world which do not break up at last.”老外听后，也许很难体会其中意义。如果按照美语说法，也许更易理解：“All good things come to an end.（意思是：所有好的事情，总有结束的一天。）”；假如是指好友最后也有分别的一天，那么可以说：“Eventually, all bosom friends will drift apart.（bosom friend是指知心的好友）”

4、平时不烧香，临时抱佛脚：有人照字直译为：“When times are easy, we do not burn the incense,but when the trouble comes, we embrace the feet of the uddha.”这种说法，老外也会一知半解。美语里一般说法是：“Worship God every day; not just in times of adversity.（要每天敬拜神，不是只在困难时。）”；对学生也可以说：“If you study hard every day, exams will not seem overwhelming.（如果你每天用功，考试就不会形成压力。）”

5、挂羊头，卖狗肉：有人照字直译为：“He advertises mutton, but sells dog's flesh.”或“He hangs up a sheep's head at the shopfront and sells dog meat.”这两种译法，恐怕老外都难理解，尤其谈到“狗肉”，他们更会反感，因为狗是他们最爱的宠物，不过老外倒有相近的说法：“He applied bait-and-switch factics in business.（他经商的策略是先引诱顾客来，再改变货物的品质。）”，“Bait-and-switch”当名词用，也可不用连字号“This store uses bait and switch policy.”或者简单的说：“Let the buyer be aware!（让消费者提高警觉）”或“Say one thing and do another.”

6.HE who laughs last,laughs best

7.in the land of the blind,the one-eyed man is king
在一个全部是瞎人的地方, 独眼人是大王. (可能是”井底之蛙”的意思吧)
8.It's not whether you win or lose,it's how you paly the game
重点不是你赢了还是输了, 而是你怎么玩这游戏. (过程重于结果)
9.Mang hangs make light work
Many hands make light work 有多人帮忙, 工作就轻松了. (人多力量大)
10.One man's meat is another man's poison 2008-12-29 21:34
一个人的食物是另一个人的毒药. (大概是每个人不一样, 所以每个人适应能力或喜欢的东西也不一样)
