摘要: 粤语为中国日常生活中主要运用的五种方言之一，因历史和政策原因，与英语关系较为紧密。其中英语和粤语两种语言包含的俗语都具有民族的生活性和民俗性，可以成为研究文化差异的语料来源和依据。认知语言学认为，俗语作为深藏在人们概念系统中的隐喻概念的表层现象，是可分析、可活用的。本文从对比英语和粤语植物类俗语出发，探讨了其隐藏在语言背后的文化差异和俗语包含的六种对应关系。同时，对英粤习语互译技巧做了初步探究。
Abstract: In China, Cantonese (Guangdong) is one of the five dialects mainly utilized in daily life. Due to historical and political reasons, Cantonese and English have been intertwined a lot. Idioms of English and Cantonese have their unique characteristics of life and folklore, which can be used as the source and basis for the study of cultural differences. Cognitive linguists believe that idioms, as products of our conceptual system, are in fact analyzable and very much alive metaphorically. This paper compares floral idioms of English and Cantonese, in order to find cultural differences hidden behind language and acquire six correspondent relationships between idioms of the two languages. At the same time, the paper also makes a preliminary study of the translation skills of English and Cantonese idioms.
