《圣经》是基督教的灵魂。要了解西方文明，就不能不读《圣经》。《圣经》不仅是英语世界的文化源头之一，也是英语习语的宝库。下面就让我们撷取其中的若干英语习语，来窥一斑而知全豹。
1.Cain's mark 该隐的标记 出自《旧约.创世记》(Genesis)。亚当(Adam)与夏娃(Eve)之子该隐出于嫉妒而杀死了弟弟亚伯(Abel)。上帝惩罚他到处流浪，为了避免他为别人所害，又在他身上作了记号。“该隐的标记”因此在英文中成了“杀人犯的标志”或“永不磨灭的肮脏印记”的意思。
2.Noah's ark 诺亚方舟 出自《旧约.创世记》。上帝因看到人类罪孽深重而震怒，于是决定发大洪水惩罚人类。只有义人、完人诺亚在上帝面前蒙恩，按照上帝的吩咐建造了方舟，保全了家人和每种动物雌雄各一只。洪水在地上泛滥了150天后才逐渐消退。诺亚把鸽子放出去，鸽子叼回了一片橄榄叶，由此诺亚知道地上的洪水退了，于是诺亚全家和各种生物才出舟继续繁衍生息。现在英语中经常用“诺亚方舟”来喻指避难所或大灾难中仅存的安全地带。同样根据这个故事，人们把鸽子(dove)和橄榄叶(olive leaf)视为和平与安宁的象征。
3.Rebuild the Tower of Babel 重筑巴别塔 出自《旧约.创世记》。大洪水过后，天下人的语言原本是一样的。他们向东迁徙的时候，在希纳尔(Shinar)遇到一片大平原。于是他们商量着要在此地建造一座塔，塔顶通天，以留名后世。因为天是上帝的居所，上帝对此颇为不悦，他变乱了人们的口音，使人们语言不通，无法交流，从此建造巴别塔的人散居各地。当今社会日益频繁的翻译和跨文化交流活动常常被比喻成“重筑巴别塔”。
4.Red lentil stew 红豆汤 出自《旧约.创世记》。以扫和雅各是孪生兄弟。一天，以扫打猎归来，又饿又累，见弟弟雅各正在煮红豆汤，就向弟弟讨要。雅各趁机要以扫起誓让出长子权作为交换。古代以色列民族的长子是一家之
主，分财产的时候也比别人多一份。以扫为了一碗红豆汤就轻易放弃了长子的特权，因此“一碗红豆汤”常用来比喻因小失大，为了眼前蝇头小利而放弃长远利益。
5.Fat cow and lean cow 肥母牛与瘦母牛 出自《旧约.创世记》。埃及法老(Pharaoh)做了个梦：他站在尼罗河边，突然水里走出七头肥胖的母牛，吃起了芦苇。在它们身后又有七头母牛从河里冒出来，干瘪瘦小，很难看。这些干瘦的牛把肥母牛吃掉了。法老醒来后，心里不安，就召集埃及所有的术士和哲人释梦，但没人解释得了。于是法老派人召来约瑟(Joseph)。约瑟说这是上帝的预示，就是说马上会有七个丰收年，紧接着是七个灾荒年，到时饥荒将遍及全国。于是法老任命他来管理国家。果然，七个丰收年过后，七个灾荒年开始了，许多国家都遭受了严重的饥荒，唯独有了充足准备的埃及免遭此劫。这段传说在西方社会妇孺皆知，其中的“肥母牛”、“瘦母牛”已成为“繁荣富足”和“经济萧条”的代名词。
6.Moses' staff 摩西的手杖 摩西是希伯来人(Hebrew)的领袖，相传《圣经》首五卷是他所制的律法。《旧约.出埃及记》(Exodus)记载，摩西为拯救同胞接受了上帝赐予的神奇手杖，带领希伯来人逃出埃及，前往上帝许给他们的安定富饶的幸福之地——迦南(Canaan)。摩西的手杖产生的最大奇迹是把红海一分为二，在关键时刻为希伯来人打通了道路，随后海水又合二为一吞噬了埃及追兵。故后世用“摩西的手杖”来表示神奇的器具或创造奇迹的工具。
7.Goliath 歌利亚 《旧约.撒母耳记上》(Samuel)中记载，撒母耳按照上帝的旨意到伯利恒(Bethlehem)寻找新的以色列王。此时非利士人把军队集结在犹大的梭哥，准备开战。非利士军营里有一位叫歌利亚(Goliath)的巨人每天出来叫阵，以色列军营无人敢应阵。上帝之灵降临在牧童大卫(David)身上，大卫即请战迎击歌利亚。在战场上，大卫用投石机射中歌利亚的前额，将他击毙，随即割下他的首级。后来大卫成了以色列王。如今“歌利亚”喻指那些空有其表，实则不堪一击的人物。
8.Absalom's hair 押沙龙的头发 出自《旧约.撒母耳记下》。押沙龙，大卫之子，是一位美男子。他有一头美丽浓密的长发，每年年底才剪一次。押沙龙阴谋反叛大卫，双方军队展开激战，押沙龙领导的叛军大败。押沙龙骑着骡子逃跑时，头发被茂密的树枝缠住，身体悬挂在半空，结果被追兵活活刺死。后人用“押沙龙的头发”来比喻有可能招来灾祸的美貌或优点。
9.《新约.马太福音》(New Testament, Matthew) 中记载圣徒约翰在旷野里布道，呼唤众人悔改。他身着骆驼毛的衣服，
腰束皮带，以蝗虫和野蜜(locust and wild honey)裹腹。人们纷纷来向他承认自己的罪，并且在约旦河里受他的洗。约翰说：“The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”（现在斧子已经放在树根上，凡是不结果子的树，就砍下来丢进火里。）现代英语中，“蝗虫和野蜜”比喻清苦的生活或简陋的饮食；“斧子已经放在树根上”则指万事俱备，只欠东风。

《圣经》是基督教的灵魂。要了解西方文明，就不能不读《圣经》。《圣经》不仅是英语世界的文化源头之一，也是英语习语的宝库。下面就让我们撷取其中的若干英语习语，来窥一斑而知全豹。
1.Cain's mark 该隐的标记 出自《旧约.创世记》(Genesis)。亚当(Adam)与夏娃(Eve)之子该隐出于嫉妒而杀死了弟弟亚伯(Abel)。上帝惩罚他到处流浪，为了避免他为别人所害，又在他身上作了记号。“该隐的标记”因此在英文中成了“杀人犯的标志”或“永不磨灭的肮脏印记”的意思。
2.Noah's ark 诺亚方舟 出自《旧约.创世记》。上帝因看到人类罪孽深重而震怒，于是决定发大洪水惩罚人类。只有义人、完人诺亚在上帝面前蒙恩，按照上帝的吩咐建造了方舟，保全了家人和每种动物雌雄各一只。洪水在地上泛滥了150天后才逐渐消退。诺亚把鸽子放出去，鸽子叼回了一片橄榄叶，由此诺亚知道地上的洪水退了，于是诺亚全家和各种生物才出舟继续繁衍生息。现在英语中经常用“诺亚方舟”来喻指避难所或大灾难中仅存的安全地带。同样根据这个故事，人们把鸽子(dove)和橄榄叶(olive leaf)视为和平与安宁的象征。
3.Rebuild the Tower of Babel 重筑巴别塔 出自《旧约.创世记》。大洪水过后，天下人的语言原本是一样的。他们向东迁徙的时候，在希纳尔(Shinar)遇到一片大平原。于是他们商量着要在此地建造一座塔，塔顶通天，以留名后世。因为天是上帝的居所，上帝对此颇为不悦，他变乱了人们的口音，使人们语言不通，无法交流，从此建造巴别塔的人散居各地。当今社会日益频繁的翻译和跨文化交流活动常常被比喻成“重筑巴别塔”。
4.Red lentil stew 红豆汤 出自《旧约.创世记》。以扫和雅各是孪生兄弟。一天，以扫打猎归来，又饿又累，见弟弟雅各正在煮红豆汤，就向弟弟讨要。雅各趁机要以扫起誓让出长子权作为交换。古代以色列民族的长子是一家之
主，分财产的时候也比别人多一份。以扫为了一碗红豆汤就轻易放弃了长子的特权，因此“一碗红豆汤”常用来比喻因小失大，为了眼前蝇头小利而放弃长远利益。
5.Fat cow and lean cow 肥母牛与瘦母牛 出自《旧约.创世记》。埃及法老(Pharaoh)做了个梦：他站在尼罗河边，突然水里走出七头肥胖的母牛，吃起了芦苇。在它们身后又有七头母牛从河里冒出来，干瘪瘦小，很难看。这些干瘦的牛把肥母牛吃掉了。法老醒来后，心里不安，就召集埃及所有的术士和哲人释梦，但没人解释得了。于是法老派人召来约瑟(Joseph)。约瑟说这是上帝的预示，就是说马上会有七个丰收年，紧接着是七个灾荒年，到时饥荒将遍及全国。于是法老任命他来管理国家。果然，七个丰收年过后，七个灾荒年开始了，许多国家都遭受了严重的饥荒，唯独有了充足准备的埃及免遭此劫。这段传说在西方社会妇孺皆知，其中的“肥母牛”、“瘦母牛”已成为“繁荣富足”和“经济萧条”的代名词。
6.Moses' staff 摩西的手杖 摩西是希伯来人(Hebrew)的领袖，相传《圣经》首五卷是他所制的律法。《旧约.出埃及记》(Exodus)记载，摩西为拯救同胞接受了上帝赐予的神奇手杖，带领希伯来人逃出埃及，前往上帝许给他们的安定富饶的幸福之地——迦南(Canaan)。摩西的手杖产生的最大奇迹是把红海一分为二，在关键时刻为希伯来人打通了道路，随后海水又合二为一吞噬了埃及追兵。故后世用“摩西的手杖”来表示神奇的器具或创造奇迹的工具。
7.Goliath 歌利亚 《旧约.撒母耳记上》(Samuel)中记载，撒母耳按照上帝的旨意到伯利恒(Bethlehem)寻找新的以色列王。此时非利士人把军队集结在犹大的梭哥，准备开战。非利士军营里有一位叫歌利亚(Goliath)的巨人每天出来叫阵，以色列军营无人敢应阵。上帝之灵降临在牧童大卫(David)身上，大卫即请战迎击歌利亚。在战场上，大卫用投石机射中歌利亚的前额，将他击毙，随即割下他的首级。后来大卫成了以色列王。如今“歌利亚”喻指那些空有其表，实则不堪一击的人物。
8.Absalom's hair 押沙龙的头发 出自《旧约.撒母耳记下》。押沙龙，大卫之子，是一位美男子。他有一头美丽浓密的长发，每年年底才剪一次。押沙龙阴谋反叛大卫，双方军队展开激战，押沙龙领导的叛军大败。押沙龙骑着骡子逃跑时，头发被茂密的树枝缠住，身体悬挂在半空，结果被追兵活活刺死。后人用“押沙龙的头发”来比喻有可能招来灾祸的美貌或优点。
9.《新约.马太福音》(New Testament, Matthew) 中记载圣徒约翰在旷野里布道，呼唤众人悔改。他身着骆驼毛的衣服，
腰束皮带，以蝗虫和野蜜(locust and wild honey)裹腹。人们纷纷来向他承认自己的罪，并且在约旦河里受他的洗。约翰说：“The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”（现在斧子已经放在树根上，凡是不结果子的树，就砍下来丢进火里。）现代英语中，“蝗虫和野蜜”比喻清苦的生活或简陋的饮食；“斧子已经放在树根上”则指万事俱备，只欠东风。
