2. 三个臭皮匠,顶个诸葛亮。
(1)Three humble cobblers with their wits combined can equal Zhuge Liang, the mastermind.(直译)
(2)There is always wisdom in a crowd of people.(意译)
3.举一反三。
(1)You can infer other three things from one fact.(直译)
(2)From one sample you may judge the whole./ You can draw inferences about other casesfrom one instance./ You can just mention one example which serves for the rest.(意译)
同样地,英语也有带 three的谚语,体现了这种广泛的代表性,即“许多”(many)、“所有的”(all)或“每一个”(every)。例如:
4. When three know it, all know it./ What is known to three is known to everybody. 三人知,天下晓。
5. To him that does everything in its proper time, one day is worth three. 事事及时做,一日胜三日。
“三”还可以暗示一种极限。下面的汉语例句表示最高极限(maximum),即“最多”(at most)。
6. 三句话不离本行。
(1)He never utters three sentences without talking about his own work.(直译)
(2)He can hardly open his mouth without talking shop./ He never begins a talk withoutreferring to his own line./ You are talking shop all the time./ You are really a shop talker.(意译)
7. 富不过三代。
(1)A rich family cannot remain rich for more than three generations./ The wealth of a family willnot last three generations.(直译)
