綜上所述，在跨文化翻譯中，漢譯英很難，若翻澤習(xí)語、成語、典故、俗話、俚語、歇后語、修辭格便更難。就拿俗語來說，絕大部分都與人們的生產(chǎn)勞動(dòng)、日常生活以及宗教信仰密切相關(guān)，它們具備語言簡潔，形象鮮明，含義精辟，表達(dá)生動(dòng)，易于上口等特點(diǎn)。 所以要把這些介紹給外國讀者，絕非易事。從楊憲益所翻譯的《紅樓夢》中的一段話就可見一斑。漢語原文是:“你是知道的，咱們家所有這些管家的奶奶們，那一位是好纏的？錯(cuò)一點(diǎn)兒他們就笑話打趣，偏一點(diǎn)兒他們就指桑罵槐的抱怨。‘坐山觀虎斗’ ‘借劍殺人’‘引風(fēng)吹火’‘站干岸兒’‘推倒油瓶不扶’都是些全掛子的武藝?！?/p>

“And you know how difficult our stewardesses are, laughing at the least mistake and 'accusing the elm while pointing at the mulberry tree’if one shows the least biast, talk about ' sitting on a hill to watch tigers fight,’ ' murdering with a borrowed sword, '‘borrowing wind to fan the fire, ’‘watching people drown from a dry bank,’and  'not troubling to right an oil bottle that's been knocked over…' they are all old hands at such tricks. ”
