上海翻译公司在学习英语的时候，看一些英语解释，可以帮助自己比较快速的了解英语的意思。对于中国的谚语，因为颇有故事性，所以对于外国友人来讲，想要真切的理解它的意思，一些英语的翻译是远远不够的，还需要一些英语的解释帮助理解。
我们看看英文翻译公司唐能是怎么做谚语的翻译解释的:
8.World is but a little place, after all.
天涯原咫尺，到处可逢君

10.What you lose on the swings you get back on the roundabouts.
失之东隅，收之桑榆
Explanation: a rough way of starting a law of average; if you have bad luck on one day you have good on another; if one venture results in loss try a fresh one---it may succeed.

11.What are the odds so long as you are happy.

14.every potter praises his own pot.
王婆买瓜，自卖自夸
Explanation: people are loath to refer to defects in their possessions or their family members

观察上海翻译机构上述的翻译，我们可以发现，翻译英语谚语的时候，一般都是先了解一下汉语的意思，然后用英语短句表达出来，这是用的英语翻译中的意译法。英文翻译公司认为，做翻译的时候，大家要根据自己翻译的内容合理的选择直译和意译，这样才能翻译出好的质量。
