歇后语用英语怎么说？

Question

求助求助

Answer 1

idiom是成语,习惯用语（我这里牛津版的英语成语词典里面收录的大部分都是我们所说的phrase“词组”）
slang是俚语、黑话，通常具有地域性

歇后语应该是a two-part allegorical saying 但是英文里的歇后语在中文中不一定有相应的歇后语与之对应，通常是义译出来
例如：
To kick down the ladder—— To forget favors
打掉梯子——过河拆桥

A flash in the pan——In like a lion,out like a lamb
平底锅里一闪亮——不了了之（对应中文成语虎头蛇尾）

TO return to our sheep——To get down to brass tacks
再回到羊身上——言归正传，闲话少说

As poor as a church mouse——To be down and out
穷得像教堂里的老鼠——一贫如洗，家徒四壁

To hitch one's wagon to a star——To have a been in one's bonnet
把马车扔上星星——吃心妄想，白日做梦

As gentle as a lamb——To be nonplussed
像羊羔一般有礼——无言以对，悄声无息
