C. English version of Chinese idiom stories

Exhausted one's literary talent

In the Southern Dynasties, Jiang Yan became a famous writer when he was young, and his poems and articles were highly praised at that time. However, as he got older, his articles were not as good as before, but suffered many setbacks. His poems are written in prose; Yin picked up the pen and held it for a long time, but still couldn't write a word, and occasionally inspiration came; The poem is written, but the library, content and plain of the text are completely useless. So it is said that once a boat stopped by the river of the Zen Temple and dreamed of a man who claimed to be Zhang Jingyang. For his followers to repay Asi, he will arrest Asi a few feet away from her. He is also Asi. It can be seen that his article will not be wonderful. This is also a legend; Once Jiang Yan also slept in the food stall; I dreamed that a man who claimed to be Guo Pu walked up to him, grabbed his pen and said to him, "Dude, my pen has been with you for a long time, so it should be given to me now!" Hearing this, Jiang Yan pulled out a five-color pen from his arms, and so did he. It is said that since then, Jiang Yan has been exhausted from Evans and can no longer write any good articles.

Jiang Yan's talent didn't really come into play, but on the one hand, he was busy for the chief executive after becoming an official, and on the other hand, he stopped writing because he was proud of his career and didn't have anything he wrote. Over time, the article will bring out less talents. (Excerpted from Practical Writing 1995, No.8, I Hope, Jiang, Not quite)

Jiangyan in the Southern Dynasties was literate. When he was young, he became a famous writer and his poems and articles were highly praised at that time. However, with the growth of age, his articles are not as good as before, and they have also regressed a lot. His poems are plain; And I have been holding the pen for a long time, but I still can't write a word, and occasionally inspiration comes; The poem has been written, but the sentences are dry and the content is too dull to be desirable. Therefore, it is said that Jiang Yan once stopped by the river of Zen Ling Temple by boat and dreamed of a man who called himself Zhang Jingyang. Ask him for a silk horse, and he will take out a few feet of silk from his arms and return it to him. Therefore, his articles are not wonderful in the future. Another legend; Once Jiang Yan took a nap in Yeting; I dreamed that a man who claimed to be Guo Pu came up to him, asked him for a pen, and said to him, "Brother Wentong, I already have a pen. I should be able to give it back to me now! " Hearing this, Jiang Yan conveniently took out a five-color pen from her pocket and returned it to him. It is said that since then, Jiang Yan's literary thoughts have dried up and he can't write any good articles.

In fact, it's not that Jiang Yan ran out of talent, but that after he became an official, on the one hand, he was busy with government affairs, on the other hand, he was proud of his official career and didn't need to write by himself, so he didn't write again. Over time, the article will naturally become inferior and lack talent. (Excerpted from Applied Writing No.8 1995 "Jiang Lang is inexhaustible")

D. English translation of idioms

What answer do you want? I don't think anyone can understand what you are trying to say.

Be specific!

Without stereotypes, English and Chinese are essentially different, although some have similar sayings (few). But in the final analysis, we often borrow the corresponding English words through the meaning we want to express.

There is a simple reason. Chinese idioms often come from ancient allusions. People in Britain will have this kind of experience, and naturally there will be no corresponding statement. However, many English proverbs and idioms have the same meaning.

(7) English idioms We see the results of extended reading:

Idioms are stereotyped words in China's Chinese vocabulary. David has four words, and there are idioms with three words, five words or even more than seven words. Idiom is a major feature of traditional culture in China, which has a fixed structure and a fixed sentence, indicating a certain meaning. It is applied to a sentence as a whole, with subject, object, attribute and other components.

A large part of idioms are passed down from ancient times, and the words used are often different from those used in modern Chinese. They represent a story or an allusion. Some idioms are just a miniature sentence. Idiom is a ready-made word, similar to idioms and proverbs, but slightly different. Idioms are a bright pearl in China culture.

Idioms, everyone says they have become words, and so do idioms.
