关于蛇的英文初一英语演讲稿初中?

中国文化博大精深,有很多成语习语都很难用英文来表达,有人提问画蛇添足的英文表达是什么?今天我们就来讲讲吧!都竖起耳朵认真听咯!Matt@matty10/unsplashGild the Lily相信大家都听过画蛇添足这个成语吧,根据《战国策·齐策二》记载:有人画完了蛇以后又添上蛇足,弄得不像蛇了。后用「画蛇添足」比喻多此一举,弄巧成拙。画蛇添足的英文表达可不是add feet to a snake,老外听到这句话估计也不明白。画蛇添足在英文里的表达是gild the lily,lily是百合花的意思,而百合花又是纯白无暇的,gild表示给…镀金,给纯白的百合花镀金就是多此一举啦。让我们来看几个例句:1 For such a beauty, to use make-up would be to gild the lily.对于这样的美人,化妆根本是多此一举。2 Hmm. Let's not gild the lily, dear.别太花枝招展,亲爱的。所以,最后问问大家:“画蛇添足”和“给百合镀金”,哪个意象更好?本文已获授权,如需转载请与原作者联系。来源:微信公众号“侃英语”中国日报网2003万获赞 302.8万粉丝全天候传播权威国际、国内资讯中国日报网官方账号
