Answer 2

俚语（slang），非习惯用语，用以表达新鲜事物，或对旧事物赋以新的说法。
俚语(Slang)，是指民间非正式、较口语的语句，是百姓在日常生活中总结出来的通俗易懂顺口的具有地方色彩的词语。地域性强，较生活化。俚语是一种非正式的语言，通常用在非正式的场合。有时俚语用以表达新鲜事物，或对旧事物赋以新的说法。

1. 人山人海：有人直译为：People mountain people sea.
这就是「中国英文」，老外很难理解。他们指「人多」时，通常只说：「There is a large crowd of people.」如果看到电影院门前大排长龙，也只说：「There is (was) a long movie line.」
不过在诗词用语 (poetic expression) 里，老外也有使用：「a (the) sea of faces」，颇有咱们「人山人海」的味道。例如：
Looking out upon the sea of faces, Mr. A delivered a touching speech.（望着一片人山人海的听众， A先生发表一篇动人的演说。）
Standing at his podium, President Clinton saw a sea of faces waving at him.（柯林顿总统站在讲台上看到人山人海的人群挥手向他致意。）
可见，说话者通常要在台上或高处，才有「人海」的感觉。因此，可以说：I saw a sea of faces from the top of the building. 但在平地的人群中，就不说：「I saw the sea of faces.」也不说：「There is a sea of faces.」只说：「I saw a large crowd of people.」
2. 家家有本难念的经：有人译成：Every family cooking － pot has a black spot. (意思是：每个家庭的锅子都有黑色的污点)
这样说法，老外恐怕不能充分了解。不过老外最常的说法是：
Many families have skeletons in the closet. (许多家庭的衣柜里都有骨骸) (骨骸就是指家丑)
或者说：
Every family has its own source of shame. (每个家庭都有自己的丑事)
说白些，就是：
Every family has its own problem.
3. 天下无不散的宴席：有人直译为：There are no feasts in the world which do not break up at last.
老外听后，也许很难体会其中意义。如果按照美语说法，也许更易理解：
All good things come to an end. (意思是：所有好的事情，总有结束的一天。)
假如是指好友最后也有分别的一天，那么可以说：
Eventually, all bosom friends will drift apart. (bosom friend 是指知心的好友)
4. 平时不烧香，临时抱佛脚：有人照字直译为：When times are easy, we do not burn the incense,but when the trouble comes, we embrace the feet of the Buddha.
这种说法，老外也会「一知半解」。美语里一般说法是：
Worship God every day; not just in times of adversity. (要每天敬拜神，不是只在困难时。)
对学生也可以说：
If you study hard every day, exams will not seem overwhelming. (如果你每天用功，考试就不会形成压力。)
5. 挂羊头，卖狗肉：有人照字直译为：He advertises mutton, but sells dog"s flesh. 或 He hangs up a sheep"s head at the shopfront and sells dog meat.
这两种译法，恐怕老外都难理解，尤其谈到「狗肉」，他们更会「反感」，因为狗是他们最爱的宠物，不过老外倒有相近的说法：
He applied bait-andtch factics in business. (他经商的策略是先引诱顾客来，再改变货物的品质。)
(Bait-and-tch 当名词用) (也可不用连字号)
This store uses bait andtch policy.
或者简单的说：
Let the buyer be aware! (让消费者提高警觉) ; 或 n
Say one thing and do another.
6. 一言既出，驷马难追：有人译成：One word lets slip and four horses will fail to catch it. 或 A statement that once let loose cannot be caught by four galloping horses.
这两种说法，中文味道嫌重，老外未必理解。不过他们倒有类似的说法：
A word once let go cannot be recalled.
You can not take back what you have said. (你说出的话，就不能再收回来。)
7. 祸从口出，言多必失：有人译为：The mouth is the gate of misfortune and evil.
老外听了，恐怕不能完全理解。最好说成：
Careless talk leads to trouble. (不小心说话，会带来麻烦); 或
The less said the better. (说的愈少愈好)
甚至也可以说：Shut the mouth and open the eyes. (闭嘴少说，张眼多看。)

中文：：中国式俚语，你能看懂多少？
“雷”人“囧”事，“中国式俚语”蔚然成风

北京奥运会期间，一名同行向记者炫耀自己最新的网络签名：“囧一个世界，囧一个梦想。”记者忽然意识到，“囧”字已经在生活中出现了很久，且网络使用率也愈发频繁。记者在资料中查到，“囧”本义为光明，散见于《说文》《五人墓碑记》等古籍中，如今在网络上更多地代表一种苦着脸的表情，字意也延伸为郁闷、悲伤、无奈、无语等。

与“囧”几乎并驾齐驱的则是“雷”：这个本义为自然现象的小学课本文字，如今更多地用来形容在不知情的情况下，无意中看了自己不喜欢的东西，进而感觉不舒服、震惊，比如“好雷人啊”“被雷到”“雷死人不偿命”等。后来在“雷”的基础上，又衍生出“好霹雳啊”的形容方式以及比“雷”还“雷”的“靁”。

据了解，这种以“雷”人“囧”事为代表的“中国式俚语”表达方式最初是出现在“天涯”等网络论坛上，而后普及到年轻一代的网络聊天中，发展到现在，开始融入小部分人的日常口语。有一些词是舶来自日本、台湾地区，还有一些词难以查找最初的使用源头。

在“中国式俚语”中，“嫑”意思就是“不要”；“童鞋”是“同学”的谐音；“木有”就是“没有”；“穿越”指某人因某种原因穿越时间和空间到达另外的时代或地点，“穿越文”更是已成为网络小说的一个强大分支。

因此，本文导语部分的对话“翻译”成普通聊天：“去吃饭么？”“不想去。”“这位同学，为什么你这么呆呢，又有什么人让你觉得不舒服了么？”“没有啊，我就是这几天觉得很累。唉……神啊，把我带到其他的时空去吧！”

“中国式俚语”不同于90后倡导非主流的“火星文”，它不是通过改变汉字结构、写法而表达，而是在古义、原意的基础上，以象形、会意等方式在网络上衍生新的含义，譬如《康熙字典》中的“兲”、“巭”分别被俚语化为“王八”“有功夫的人”之意。

如今，“雷”人“囧”事的使用范围已不局限于网络和年轻人，随着电视媒体、纸质媒体的介入关注，“中国式俚语”在大众范围内愈发蔚然成风。
