喜上眉梢：借喜鹊站在梅树捎上之谐音,寓心情美好喜悦、欢喜之意.若两只喜鹊站在梅枝上,即为,双喜登梅,寓双重喜事临门之意.

Answer 1

这没法翻译.本身是汉语的谐音双关造出来的词.眉-梅 , 喜鹊-欢喜 , 上眉梢-上梅梢 ,就好象是对联一样,你能把"天王盖地虎,宝塔镇河妖"给翻押韵了么?
如果是想解释这个东西,可以这么说:
In China , we say " happiness is shining on the eyebrow " because in China,magpie and happy are homophonic words,and we see magpie as a positive symbol.So this word comes from when people see a magpie stood on a Mei-tree top.
