论文 Translation of Chinese idioms
The translation of idioms is one of difficulties of translating foreign works
The translation of idioms is one of difficulties of translating foreign works. As we all know, A Dream of Red Mansion is one of the four masterpieces of ancient Chinese history of literature. So the translation of idiom is not an easy thing. Then let us see how Yang & Dai translate these idioms.
倾国倾城这个汉语习语被用来形容女性的美貌，它出自汉代的一首诗尽管西方读者不知晓这首诗，但他们熟悉罗马神话和希腊神话希腊神话故事里叙述了希腊人和特洛伊人一场为期十年的战争，争夺的目标是美女海伦杨氏夫妇认为原文作者和译文读者有相似的认知环境，因此他们用直译法翻译。

Methods on translation of Chinese idioms 汉语成语翻译的方法
汉语成语翻译的方法Methods on translation of Chinese idioms【摘要】汉语成语承载着中华五千年的文化特色和文化信息.而翻译并非只是两种语言之间的一种简单的对应转换过程，而是一种文化的交流和传递。
因此，在汉语成语英译的具体操作过程中，首先要充分理解汉语成语的内在含义，灵活运用不同的翻译方法，对比英汉语言中习语（成语）的异同，进行适当的结构调整，将汉语成语所承载的文化特色和文化信息最大限度地传译给外国读者。
帮助外国读者消除或减少语言及文化障碍就要求译者尽最大努力把汉语成语翻译成外国读者乐于接受的形式。
与此同时要在英语中再现汉语文化，这是一个很大的挑战。
把汉语成语翻译成英语，译者们掌握和熟悉两种语言以及其文化是非常重要的。
他们必须从风俗和文化背景的角度，通过对汉语和英语语言学和文化差异的理解，尽量去把握成语的内在含义，从而使其观点与原文的精神相一致。
本文简单介绍了汉语成语英译的几种方法。

Translation is not only one kind of simple correspondence switching process between two languages, butis one kind of cultural exchange and transmission.The refore, translating Chinese idioms into English is a concrete operating process. First, the translators must fully understand the intrinsic meaning of the Chinese idioms; second, they should utilize several different translation methods nimbly and contrasts the similarities and differences between the English idioms and Chinese idioms; third, they should carry on the suitable structure adjustment and translate Chinese idioms which bear cultural characteristic and cultural information in maximum limit for the foreign readers. Helping the foreign readers eliminate and reduce language and cultural barrier requests the translator to work diligently to translate the form of Chinese idiom in the way that the foreign readers are glad to accept. At the same time, this is a very big challenge to reappear Chinese culture in English.To understand and translate Chinese idioms into English，it is very important for the translators to master and well acquaint themselves with the original language and the target language and their cultures. They should set out from the aspects of customs and cultural backgrounds and try to grasp the connotation of the original idiom by understanding linguistic and cultural differences between English and Chinese so as to make his version alike the original text in spirit. This article introduced several methods on translation of Chinese idioms concisely.[Key Words] Chinese idioms；English idioms；translation；cultureconnotation；original language；target language1. IntroductionAbout translation, the translation theoreticians have proposed many different viewpoints. In China, the most popular theory is Mr.Yanfu‟s “faithfulness, expr essiveness and elegance(信，达，雅)”while in the western countries, the most popular one is “equivalent value, equivalent effect and function equivalence(等值，等效，功能对等) ”.These viewpoints are mutually influenced and supplemented. Although the translators have different emphasis points, they all advocate that the translation must express the connotation of the original text faithfully and the style of the original work should reappear in translation. “所谓忠实表达原文的意义，应指忠实表达原文的字面意义，形象意义，隐含意义三个方面。

Idiom Translation under the Chineseand English CulturesClass XXX Number XXX Name XXXAbstract:Nida, a famous translator, says, "For truly successful translation, it is much more important to familiarize two cultures than master two languages, because words are assigned meanings in its particular cultures."(Background information) This is to say, translation is closely related with not only languages but also cultures. Studies of the cultural distinction in idiom translation are still relatively weak in the field of translation in China. Exclusive research on the translation of Chinese and English idioms is still incomplete.In the last twenty years, idiom translation has mostly emphasized the level of inter-lingual communication, but cultural differences were rarely involved in it.(Identify problem)This thesis analyses the cultural differences in Chinese and English idioms, then studies English-Chinese\Chinese-English idiom translation methods(Research subject)from the angle of culture(Method)and points out some warnings concerning idiom translation: pay attention to context and choose the right version in line with the style and meaning of the original passage(Results); culture is a whole way of life, when new culture emerges, new idioms also appear, therefore idiom translation should develop with the time.(Conclusion)Key Words: idioms; culture; translation论英汉文化背景下的习语翻译摘要:著名翻译学家奈达指出:“对于真正成功的翻译而言，熟悉两种文化甚至比掌握两种语言更为重要，因为词语只有在其作用的文化背景下才有意义。

English - and - Chinese - Idioms - Translation[1]苏晓宁 2021303172 13010802Professor Ruan HongmeiTheory and Practice of Translation Between English and ChineseEnglish and Chinese Idioms TranslationBoth Britain and China have a long history which creates many idioms and they are widely used in people’s daily life. However, because of the differences in geographic environment, culture traditions, social customs and religions, there are some difficulties in the translation between English and Chinese idioms. The purpose of this paper is to show the aspects thatinfluence the translation of English and Chinese idioms, and to offer some methods in idioms translation.Geographic environment is the foundation of humans’ existence and development, so different geographic environments have different influences on the formation and development of the nations’ culture (李红艳，2021). Chinais always a country which agriculture plays an important role since ancient time, so a large number of idioms related to agriculture have been in use.e.g. (1) 槁木死灰――withered wood or cold ashes (2) 骨瘦如柴――belean as a rakeLiving on an island, the English are keen on sailing and traveling, the English language abounds in idioms connected with navigation (Ouyang Hongxiang, 2021).e.g. (1) all at sea――不知所措(2) in the same boat――同舟共济1Culture traditions also have a profound influence on the language. Many Chinese idioms come from fables, historical events and folk legends (李红艳，2021).e.g. (1) 亡羊补牢――It’s never too late to mend.(2) 三顾茅庐――make three calls at the thatched cottage (3) 愚公移山――how Yukong moved the mountainsCompared with that, many English idioms are from ancient Greek and Roman myths and the works written by great masters such as Shakespeare (李红艳，2021).e.g. (1) the Trojan horse――特洛伊木马(2) arrow of Cupid――丘比特之箭(3)at one fell swoop――刹那之间Social custom is an important part of culture and it is also a critical difference between English and Chinese culture. The differences are indicated from the idioms related to animals and colors (李红艳，2021 ). In China,idioms related to dragon are usually positive while idioms related to dog are often negative. However, English idioms are opposite. Red is usuallyconsidered as a symbol of happiness and thriving, but it is usually related to violence and blood in English.e.g. (1) 狗急跳墙――a concerned beast will do something desperate (2)乘龙快婿――an ideal son-in-law (3) a lucky dog――幸运儿(4) Love me, love my dog――爱屋及乌 (5) 红极一时――the day in the sun2(6) a red rag to a bull――激起暴怒的缘由Every nationality has its own religious belief and culture and it has influence on human’s values, behaviors and ling uistic expression. As a result, many idioms related to religion appeared in both English and Chinese (李红艳，2021). Buddhism and Taoism are the two major religions in China’s history. On the other hand, Christianity has the biggest impact in Europe, and manyEnglish idioms are from the Bible and Christianity.e.g. (1) 借花献佛――offer a present to a guest with other people’sthings(2) 道高一尺，魔高一丈――While the priest climbs a post, the devil climbs ten (3) finger on the wall――不祥之兆(4) Forbidden fruit is sweetest――禁果分外甜Because of the culture differences existed between China and Britain, itis almost impossible to achieve absolute equivalency in translation. What the translator can do is just to make the translation as close as the meaning ofthe original work. Several methods can be used in the translation of idioms such as literal translation, semantic translation, a combination of the two methods and annotation.Literal translation is not word for word but the translation of theoriginal thoughts and contents without changing the way of expression. This method best shows the national traits of original works(吕瑞昌等 et al., 1983). By using the literal translation, translators can remain the characters of original works and make the reader realize the culture of foreign countries.e.g. (1) 有其父必有其子――like father, like son3(2)好事不出门，恶事行千里。

英汉文化差异对英汉字幕翻译的影响——以《傲慢与偏见》为例
The Influence of Cultural Differences Between Chinese and English on E-C Subtitle Translation: A Case Study of Pride andPrejudice摘要《傲慢与偏见》是英国作家简•奥斯丁的作品，也是18世纪最杰出的小说之一。
之后，小说被拍成电影，深受中国广观众的喜爱。
由于作者的生长环境、时代背景、文化观念与中国文化有巨大差别。
中国观众对18世纪英国社会不熟悉，他们很难了解一些情节与台词。
这就需要字幕翻译者在翻译时跨越文化的隔阂，促进中国观众的理解。
随着文化翻译理论的兴起，翻译者能够更好的将不同文化作品中的内容进行呈现，也为文学翻译提供了一个崭新的思路。
对于译者来说，文学翻译之难是众所周知的。
由于文化的差异，文学翻译的效果会有区别，译者在翻译的过程中需要着重研究当时的社会环境和人文环境，根据体的环境选择相应的翻译策略，减轻观众的理解负担。
本论文共分为5个章节，第一章主要陈述本论文的研究背景、研究问题。
第二章节介绍了文化翻译理论的研究现状。
第三章介绍了中西方的文化差异。
第四章是从文化翻译理论视角来探讨《傲慢与偏见》中的策略选择。
最后一章是总结研究的主要发现。
关键词：文化翻译理论；《傲慢与偏见》；电影字幕；翻译策略AbstractPride and Prejudice is one of the most outstanding novels of the 18th century by the British writer Jane Austen. After that, the novel was made into a film and was deeply loved by Chinese audiences. Because of the great differences between the author's growth environment, era background and cultural concept and Chinese culture, Chinese audiences are not familiar with the 18th century British society, and it is difficult for them to understand some plots and lines. This requires subtitle translators to cross cultural barriers and promote the understanding of Chinese audiences.With the rise of cultural translation theory, translators can better present the contents of different cultural works, and also provide a new idea for literary translation. For translators, the difficulty of literary translation is well known. Due to cultural differences, the effect of literary translation will be different. In the process of translation, translators need to focus on the social and cultural environment at that time, and choose corresponding translation strategies according to the context of the body to reduce the burden of understanding of the audience. This paper is divided into five chapters. The first chapter mainly states the research background and problems of this paper. The second chapter introduces the research status of cultural translation theory. The third chapter introduces the cultural differences between China and the West. Chapter four explores the strategic choices in Pride and Prejudice from the perspective of cultural translation theory. The last chapter summarizes the main findings of the study.Key words:cultural translation theory; Pride and Prejudice; film subtitles; translation strategyContents1.Introduction.............................................................. 错误!未定义书签。

英语论文-英汉习语对比及其翻译
英汉习语对比及其翻译【Abstract】Idioms are the essence of a language, which have strong national colors and distinctive cultural connotations. So it is difficult for both English and Chinese readers to understand the idiom translation thoroughly and exactly. This thesis first analyzes the similarity of English and Chinese idioms from the aspect of rhetorical means, such as alliteration, rhyme, repetition, antithesis and so on. Then it probes into the causes of the differences in English and Chinese idioms from the aspects of different living circumstances, different cognitions of things, different religions and beliefs, and different historical allusions and myths, etc. After that, it talks about the three typical problems in English-Chinese idiom translation, such as interpreting the English idioms too literally, copying Chinese customary sayings mechanically, and lacking in necessary explanatory notes. Finally, it summarizes five idiom translation methods, including literal translation with explanation, literal translation with association, transformation of meanings, application of Chinese couplet and equal consideration of both images and meanings. All the significance of this thesis is to convey the idioms‟ cultural information as much as possible, which is very useful for the language learning.【Key Words】idiom; comparison; translation【摘要】习语通常包括成语、俗语、格言、歇后语、谚语、俚语、行话等。
英译汉论文
Culturally-loaded words of translation among the factors of a language, it is the vocabulary that carries the most culture information and reflects human life thoroughly.Since each language contains elements which are derived from its culture , such as idioms ,proverbs, and other expressions, we can not always find equivalent words ,or we can not understand their conceptual grouping,culture background,semantic association. we can not transfer our own culture to another when we translate the literature works of another country.Translation is not only an interlingual transfer, but also a cross-culture communication. The strategies often employed in translating these culture-loaded expressions are foreignizing translation domesticating translation, semantic translation,and their mixture.Froeignizing Translation(异化译法）As either literal translation or cultural translation is associated with two cultural contexts in which their cultural content is undoubtedly conveyed in two different languages. We all know th at “信”, “达”, “雅” are the criterion of all kinds of translation proposed by Yan Fu. To be faithful to the original is “信” To make the translation text acceptable . and understandable is “达”. To make the translated text as its own cultural flavor is “雅”. One of the basic principles of translation is to be faithful to the original. According to this principle, translation should first be faithful to the content of the original. Foreigning translation is a good way to retain the culture flavors of the source-language and enables the reader to have an alien reading experience,thus developing the reader's awareness of culture difference. For example, when we say 酸葡萄，we mean the things that we can not get. If we don translate it well , readers will not know the exact meaning of the "sour grapes".Domesticating Translation(归化译法）This method minimizes the foreignness of the source-language text by changing the heterogeneous elements into what is familiar to the targeted language reader.It is usually employed when the translator believe the translator believes that the original cultural flavor is widely different from Chinese culture and therefore too difficult for readers to understand.The intercultural awareness becomes especially important. Lack of cultural knowledge affects his comprehension negatively. However, intercultural awareness cannot grow naturally.On the basis that not everyone has the cultural awareness , the translator should bear in their mind that domestication translation is of great importance. For example ,"lion in the way" ,if the translator can not express the precise meaning to the readers , they will become confused.Semantic Translation(意译法）When the preform methods fail to express, we can also use the semantic translation.In this method ,we use the method of "concretization" or ‘abstraction" . For instance, "Mickey Mouse" equals to small and unimportant staffs. It reproduce the precise contextual meaning of the English culture-loaded expression within the syntactic and semantic constraints of the Chinese language .We have varieties of ways to translate the culture -loaded expressions and many of things to keep in mind. Such as not to translate English idioms into Chines idioms bearing strong cultural flavor ,using proper Chinese idioms in translation.In this way , we can have a better translation of the culture- loaded expressions and achieve better communication .英译汉论文外院09 翻译2班黄子英20090910010320。
On the Translation of Idioms From a Perspective of Culture
1.1The definition of idiom: an idiom is an element of a language that possesses a unique way of expression based on its time-honored use. (Li Funing, 1979: 4) In other words, an idiom is a fixed group of words or a single word, or even a sentence, with a special meaning that cannot be guessed from its structure. That is to say, the meaning of an idiom must be leant as a whole. A simple definition of the idiom would be the use of common words in a special sense. “To spill the beans”, for instan ce, is not at all connected with beans; it means “to tell something that is secret”.In English Idioms and How to Use Them, J. Seidle et al point out that idioms “are not a separate part of the language which one can choose either to use or omit,but they form an essential part of the general vocabulary of the language.”(Seidle et al, 1978)Merriam-Webster‟s Collegiate Dictionary (Eleventh Edition), published in 2003, gives four definitions of the term idiom. The first sense of the word idiom is “the language peculiar to a people or to a district, community, or class: DIALECT.” The second sense is “the syntactical, grammatical, or structural form peculiar to a language.” The third sense is “an expression in the usage of a language that is peculiar to itself either grammatically (as no, it wasn‟t me) or having a meaning that cannot be derived from the conjoined meanings of its elements (as Monday week for “the Monday a week after next Monday”).” The fourth sense is “a style or form of artistic expression that is characteristic of an individual, a period of movement, or a medium or instrument <the modern jazz idiom>; broadly: MANNER, STYLE<a new culinary idiom>.” (Lin & Liu, 2005)1.1.1Definitions of English IdiomsAccording to Warren, the word “idiom” in English is used to describe special phrases that are an essential part of a language. These phrases need not follow normal grammar rules in the language and can have both idiomatic and liter meaning. An English idiom is defined in the Webster‟s New World Dictiona ry of the American Language, 2nd college edition, 1972 as “an accepted phrase, construction, or expression is contrary to the usual patterns of the language or having a meaning of different from literal”. In the Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, its definition is “a group of words in a fixed order having a particular meaning, different from the meaning of each word understood on its own”.1.2.2 Definitions of Chinese IdiomsIn Chinese, there also exist linguistic constructs which are similar to Englishidioms, so-called “成语”. Similar to English idiom, “成语” are also lexical or word groups and phrases which are established through long time of use and are accepted through practice. This is the definition of Chinese idiom in a narrow sense. In a broad sense, the Chinese “equivalent” for “idiom” is “熟语”, it refers to a kind of a set phrase or sentence fixed by long usage. According to Cihai (Xia，1999), “熟语是语言中固定的词组或句子，使用时一般不能任意改变其组织，且要以其整体来理解语义，包括成语、谚语、格言、惯用语、歇后语等.” “Shuyu are fixed phrases or sentences of a language, which cannot be modified arbitrarily. They must be interpreted as a semantic unit. They include set phrases, proverbs, maxims, locutions and two-part allegorical sayings, etc.” A Chinese idiom is newly defined as “a Chinese idiom, constituted by words, relatively fixed in structure, is a narrative language unit which can perform a multiple of functions.”(Wen, 2005:17)In a broad sense, English idioms cover all of the following forms: set phrases, proverbs, common sayings, colloquialisms, allusions and slangs. Here three important forms of idioms are selected for explanation.Set phrasesOne most important group of idioms are set phrases whose form is set and many of them are rather rigid and cannot show up in any other forms. There is an inexhaustible storehouse of set phrases that play an important role in English language. One example with cultural traces is “to kick the bucket”. Its origin can be traced back to a religious ceremony of baptism in Christianity. As far as a Christian is concerned, his/her important three stages, birth, marriage and death, are closely connected with a religious ceremony: baptism. A Christian needs to receive baptism from an administrator when he/she was born, get married in the church with blessings of a certain minister and be baptized again when he/she is going to die”. So the idiom “kick the bucket” is a euphemistic expression connoting “to die” referring to the death of a Christian in the ceremony of being baptized. Another examples “to show one‟s teeth” suggests “to take a threatening tone or to show an intention to injure”, whichnot only has literal meaning of showing one‟s teeth, but also acquires an implication. There are some typical examples of English set phrases listed below: to fall in love, to go Dutch, a fly on the wheel, in black and white, etc.ProverbsProverbs are a special kind of English idioms. Longman Modern English Dictionary defines proverb as “a brief familiar maxim of folk wisdom, usually compressed in form, often involving a bold image and frequently a jingle that catches the memory.”They are rich in content and succinct in wording. Proverb is often defined as the wisdom of many and the wit of one, stating commonly experienced or for the purpose of giving wise advice to others. Hundreds of English proverbs have great vitality because of their wide general application among people of all social strata. They express in a few words, a fact or a truth which deals with everyday experience. For instance, “First come, first served” means “people will be dealt with as they come, without special treatment for latecomers”; “O nce bitten, twice shy”suggests “a person who has been tricked will be more careful in the future”; “M ore haste, less speed” means “the more you hurry, the less real progress you are likely to make”; “N o gains without pains”teaches us that “nothing can be gained without effort”; “A cat may look at a king” means “Everyone is born equal”; “B etter late than never” states “it is better to do something late than not to do it at all”. Besides, many proverbs may be found to back up almost any view. They may express contradictory opinions as “Well begun is half done” and “A good beginning makes a good ending”emphasize the importance of the beginning stage of a task, whereas “All is well that ends well” lay stress on the finish or on the result.stick, couch potato, pop, on the beam, bookaholic, etc. Owing to its popularity with common people, slang is described as the ordinary man‟s poetry, reflecting their common but colorful lives.Generally speaking, Chinese idioms include the following forms: set phrases (chengyu), proverbs, common sayings (suyu), proverb (yanyu), and two-part allegorical saying (xiehouyu). They will be explained with examples respectively below.Set phrases (chengyu)Chinese set phrases are “phrases with 2 plus 2 pattern with descriptive or informative function.” (Wen, 2005:290) Since they are generally composed of four characters, they are also called set phrases of four characters. Chinese set phrases are forceful, terse and vivid in imagery. For instance, “杀鸡取卵” means “If you sell the cow, you sell her milk too”, “自食其果”, which means “to eat the fruit of one‟s own behavior”, “过河拆桥” means “The danger past and God forgotten” and “反唇相讥” means “to turn back at one‟s counterpart for blaming”. Besides, some Chinese set phrases are full of classical allusions which make them more difficult to understand. “重蹈覆辙”means “to follow the same old disastrous road or to meet the same fate” and “功亏一篑”means “to fail at the threshold of success for lack of a final effort ”. Except these four character set phrases, there are a small number of set phrases in Chinese language consisting of more or less than four characters, but they are so few that people would still regard them as set phrases. Example are: “不到黄河心不死” (Until all is over one…s ambition never dies), “八仙过海，各显神通” (each one has its special skills and advantages), “眼中钉” (a thorn in one‟s flesh, a thing or person that makes someone furious ), “覆巢无完卵” (individuals can not survive if the whole is ruined), “凡事预则立，不预则废”(one would be successful if he prepares well ahead of time, otherwise he will fail on the task), etc. (/cy/) Common sayings (suyu)Common sayings are popular, easy to understand and widely used in the colloquial language with looser requirements in syntax. Compared with Chinese set phrases, common sayings are not quite neat in form and relatively loose in structure. For example, “这山望着那山高” （It is always the other mountain that looks higher; The grass is greener on the other side; to be dissatisfied with what one has）, “杀鸡给猴看”(to punish someone as a warning to others) , “画虎不成反类犬”（the poor skill of painting makes the tiger look like a dog）, and “喝水不忘挖井人” (When you drink water, think of its source). Interestingly, we can find the equivalents of the above common sayings in set phrases like “见异思迁”, “杀鸡儆猴”, “画虎类犬”, “饮水思源” which have the same meaning with its corresponding common sayings. According to some linguists in China, the category of common saying should be included into that of proverbs since they are both informal and to some extent illuminating, though proverbs are more refined and often have a parallel structure.Proverb (yanyu)Proverbs are not only plain and popular but also terse and implicit. They often expound a profound truth through a simple matter in daily life. The Former English Prime Minister once gave such a comment on proverbs: “proverbs are the daughters of daily experience.” Like the English proverbs, Chinese proverbs are also the accumulated wisdom of ordinary people. They sum up life experience and serve the guidance for people in how to behave oneself in society and how to solve the problems in certain situations. For instance, “路遥知马力，日久见人心”(As distance tests a horse‟s strength, so time reveals a person‟s heart), “少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲”(Man who does not work hard in his youth will be grieved when he grows old), “到什么山上唱什么歌” (to do in Rome as the Romans do), “骄傲使人落后” (Pride goes before, and shame comes after), “玉不琢，不成器” (The fine st diamond must be cut), “五十步笑百步” (The pot calls the kettle black), and “水能载舟，亦能覆舟”(The water that bears the boat is the same that swallows it up), “忠言逆耳利于行” (Unpleasant advice is a good medicine), etc. The meaning is plain yet the truth contained in each proverb is profound and illuminating. Chinese proverbs, like English counterpart, apply to a rule for conduct..As we know, an idiom is a form of expression peculiar to a language. Everylanguage has its own peculiarities in expression, alien from each other. The four-character structures dominate the Chinese idioms, while an English idiom is a combination of two or more words. Both Chinese and English idioms are usually structurally fixed and semantically opaque, i.e. metaphorical rather than literal and function as a single unit of meaning. From the definitions of idiom, we can extract two characteristic features that an idiom manifests, on which we can decide whether or not an expression is an idiom or not. One is structural stability and the other is semantic unity.Firstly, established and refined by long practical use, an idiom has a relatively high degree of stability of the lexical components. An idiom allows little or no variation in form under normal circumstances, that is to say, no constituent word in an idiom can be omitted arbitrarily or be substituted by another synonymous word. In general, any change in the components will result in absurdities or even render the idioms nonsense. In normal cases, a speaker or writer cannot do any of the following changes unless he or she is consciously making a joke or attempting play on words: 1. Change the order of the constituent word (e.g. “at sevens and sixes” instead of “at sixes and sevens”);2. Delete a constituent word (e.g. “chip off the block”instead of “chip off the old block”);3. Add a constituent word (e.g. “cool as a fresh cucumber” instead of “cool as a cucumber”);4. Replace a word with another (even with a synonymous word) (e.g. “born in the blue” instead of “born in the purple”)5. Change its grammatical structure (e.g. “the separation of wheat and chaff” instead of “separate the wheat from the chaff”).In Chinese, similarly, we can only say: “七上八下” not “八上七下”; “五颜六色”not “五色六颜”, although “颜”and “色” both mean “color”. However, just as what has been mentioned above, sometimes, either for the sake of sarcasm or for thesense of humor or for the sake of style, we can build some irregular idiom structure from the original ones, but these irregular variants are only for temporary purpose, and may not be commonly acknowledged and accepted by people. The following are two examples for further illustration:(1) “can‟t see the ocean for the stream” is from “can‟t see the wood for the trees”;(2) “easy on the ears” is from “easy on the eyes ”.Similarly in Chinese:(3) “一石三鸟” (to shoot three birds with one stone) is an irregular variant of the set phrase “一石二鸟”(to shoot two birds with one stone);(4) “爱之入骨”(to love someone at an extreme level) from “恨之入骨” (to hate someone at an extreme level);1.4.2 Features of English IdiomsEnglish idioms are a kind of special speech form that is peculiar in grammatical structure, meaning and usage. They have the following fundamental features:1. English idioms can be very short or rather long.e.g. “affluenza”——illness from wealth and rank; “blue b eard”——criminal for serials of wife-killer; “boycott”——to refuse to buy or take part in as a way of expressing strong disapproval; “catch-22”——a difficult situation in which one can neither advance nor retreat; “ghostwriter”——write on someone‟s behalf Some idioms are much longer, sometimes consisting of entire sentences, e.g. “more than one way to skin a cat” ——mean that there are many methods to solve the problem; “to cut one‟s coat according to one‟s cloth”——act according to actual circumstances; “bite off more than one can chew”——ability not equal to one‟s ambition; “burn the candle at both ends”——lead an indulgent and short life; “pot calling the kettle black” ——make fun of people who have the same shortcoming as oneself2. English idioms take different structures.There are three kinds of structures of English idioms. The first kind has an irregular and illogical structure. E.g. in the idiom “Diamond cut diamond”, the verb cut is an irregular and illogical form from the view-point of Modern English grammar. And so is the proverb “The devil take the hindmost”. The second kind has a regular structure, but the meaning is not clear. “to have a bee in one‟s bonnet”, for instance, has a regular structure, but the meaning is not clear. It means “to have a strange fixed idea about something.” It is impossible to explain the idiom from the original meaning of the individual words. It should be mentioned that most English idioms belong to this category. The third kind is a special group in which both structure and meaning are irregular. “(to do) through thick and thin” is an example. Not only the structure of (verb) + prep. +adj. (used as nouns) is a bit difficult for us to understand, but the meaning of the idiom cannot be guessed. It means “through both good and bad times” or “in spite of all the difficulties.”3.An English idiom has a special meaning.“To rain cats and dogs” is an idiom whose meaning cannot be determined from its component parts. Mastery of the idiom comes only through carefully study and practice. Only then can we grasp its meaning (to rain very hard).4. English idioms are usually made of commonly-used words.English idioms are vivid in usage, brief in structure and profound in meaning.E.g. “once in a blue moon”—once in a very l ong time; very rarely; almost never; “to cry for the moon”—to desire strongly something that cannot be gained; “to fly high”—to be ambitious; “to put the cart before the horse”—to do things in the wrong order; “to turn up one‟s nose at”—to show disdain for5. English idioms are often created on the basis of alliteration, rhyme and euphony.I dioms like “black and blue”, “time and tide wait for no man”, “to buy in bulk”, “with might and main”, etc. are typical examples for alliteration in English. Rhyme can be found in many idioms, e.g. dine and wine, rough and tough, wear and tear, and so on. Many idioms in English may produce euphonic effect according to their sounds and structures. E.g. A stitch in time saves nine; an eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth;Beggars cannot be choosers; First come, first served; Look before you leap. (Lin & Liu, 2005)Chapter 2 Language, Culture and Idiom Translation2.2 The Relationship Between Language and CultureThe famous translator and linguist Eugene Nida did point out clearly that “Therole of language within a culture and the influence of culture on meanings of words and idioms are so pervasive that scarcely any text can be adequately understood without careful consideration of its crucial cultur al background.” (Nida, 1993: 1) Similarities lie in different nations‟ cultural values; however, different social systems, different economic conditions and different historical development stages will create different cultural phenomena and their corresponding cultural advantages will be differentiated. Whether the cultural values are same or not, they will all leave traces on the corresponding languages. The major role of language is that it is the instrument of thought, which provides a useful link between inner thought and public behavior. It is clear that language and culture are closely related with each other. For many years, researchers have been dwelling on the relationship between language and culture. They have contributed many theoretical comments and innumerable facts. In a word, language is the presentation of culture. Without knowledge of cultures, it is difficult to learn languages well. On the other side, culture is expressed through the actual use of the language.Mr. Deng Yanchang and Mr. Liu Runqing have well illustrated the relationship between language and culture, “Language is a part of culture and plays very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language, they maintain, culture would not be possible. On the other side, language is influenced and shaped by culture and reflects culture. In the broadest sense, language is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises their historical and cultural backgrounds as well as their approach to life and their way of living and thinking.”(Deng & Liu, 1989:3) Similar illustration appeared in Mr. Wang Binqin‟s book, he indicates that “as a tool to preserve and disseminate culture, language on the one side reflects culture and on the other side is restricted by culture. In the development process, a nation‟s culture is constantly accumulated through its language, reflecting the nation‟s social, historical, cultural and psychological characteristics. ” (Wang Binqin, 1995:1-2)From these remarks, we can see that language is an extremely special component of culture. Language reflects and embodies culture and culture influenceslanguage. As the most important carrier of culture, language reinforces and preserves culture, its beliefs, customs and future development. As long as a language exists, the culture it represents will survive. Even if a culture is out of human civilization, it can still be studied through its language.2.3 Cultural Factors Affecting Language and Idiom TranslationChine se idioms, such as “大公无私”, “天下兴亡匹夫有责”, “明哲保身, 舍生取义”testify people‟s thought and uncover the moral standards of behavior in ancient China. They express Chinese culture obviously. Similarly, English culture is conveyed by her language, such as “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth” to differentiate herself to other cultures. Language requires that thoughts should be selected, categorized, oriented, and combined, and each language places its own constraints on these processes. Therefore, we see that language is the principle means whereby people conduct their social lives. When used in context of communication whether in speech or writing, it is certainly bound up with culture. Thus language actually is the expression, display and embodiment of cultural reality. As idioms are the most representative part of a language, they are usually highly specialized in meaning and closely ties to distinctive cultural features and cultural attitudes, that is to say, they relate to culture tightly to the highest degree and thus they record all the details or trace of the culture. It is believed that idioms are the most culturally loaded element in any language‟s vocabulary. They are like the mirror giving clear reflection of different cultures. The following part will discuss the phenomenon of different cultural factors through case studies, such as regional cultural factors, religious cultural factors, historical cultural factors, etc, that influencing language and idiom translation, so as to shed some light on the important cultural background a translator should pay attention to when doing the translation work.2.3.1 Regional Cultural FactorsDifferent geographical situations and natural conditions have caused different cultures, which is the regional culture. This kind of cultural differences show themselves especially in the directions and its corresponding things.2.3.1.1 Natural EnvironmentDifferent geographical situations and natural conditions have caused different cultures, which is the regional culture. This kind of cultural differences show themselves especially in the directions and its corresponding things.Geographical environment has impact on climate, and climate influences languages and connotative meaning of words. T ake “东风” and “east wind”for example. There are corresponding words in Chinese and western culture, their reference meaning is the same, but the connotative meaning is quite different. In Chinese people‟s eyes,“东风” symbolizes spring and warmth. It makes e very living things revive. Therefore, comes the saying of “东风报春” and Chinese people are partial to east wind. In Britain, east wind comes from north of the European continent, representing coldness and unpleasantness, while the west wind comes from the Atlantic Ocean, which is warm and pleasant. We can read the feeling of dislike from Samuel Butler‟s “biting east winds”, Charles Dickens‟s “How many winter days have I seen him, standing blue-nosed in the snow and east wind.” A famous English proverb says: “When the wind is in the east, it‟s good for neither man nor beast.”(东风到, 寒风吹, 对人对畜都不好). About the west wind, we can get the pleasing feeling from John Milton‟s “And west winds with musky wing”, John Masefield‟s “It‟s a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds‟ cries”, and etc. Therefore, British people dislike east wind. But they like west wind, which represents warmth and spring. There are two famous sentences from Percy Bysshe Shelley‟s Ode to the West Wind: O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind? Here, “wind” should be translated into “西风”, and make some expla nation to this regional cultural difference, or else it will bring about confusion to Chinese readers who are unfamiliar with English regional culture.Besides the wind, the climate featured as rainy and foggy of the Britain gives birth to a lot of corresp onding idioms, such as “as right as rain”, for it is usual to rain in this region but unusual otherwise. And the idiom “After rain comes fair weather” tells people that the success will finally come after difficulties. Others like “under the weather” will be quoted when someone is not feeling well or gets an illness, since the weather in the island is rather changeable which resulted from the oceanic climate.The differences in living environment resulted in the differences in people‟s thinking about the same thing. Some things have rich connotation in one culture and can bring about rich association while in another culture they may be prosaic and have no cultural meaning. This is the culture‟s individuality and difference.2.3.2 Factors About CustomsIdioms are featured in profound life flavor and distinctive national color. Customs are the representation of a nation‟s cultural consciousness during a long history. They are the fertile soil from which idioms can draw nutrition and gain strong vitality. Many idioms are derived from customs and habits. For example, in America, apple-pie is a common food. Housewives often bake seven apple-pies at the beginning of a week and eat one pie for one day. Thus, “apple-pie order” becomes the substitutive expression for “neat and in good order”. Another idiom relating food is “a piece of cake”, which means an easy task, for cake is a common de ssert in English culture. However, in Chinese culture, cake is a comparatively high grade food. Therefore, we Chinese people t end to use “小菜一碟” to refer to the same concept.The differences concerning customs and habits between western world and China are displayed in many aspects. The most typical one lies on the attitude towards animals. First is the dog. “狗”and “dog” have diff erent concept in western and Chinese cultures. In Chinese culture, under most circumstances, dog is an animal representing dirty and filthy. Idioms linked with dog are mostly containing derogatorysense, such as “狐朋狗党”(evil associates), “狗急跳墙” (A cornered dog will leap over a wall in desperation), “狼心狗肺”(evil-hearted), “狗胆包天” (monstrous audacity), “狗仗人势” (Like a dog threatening people on the strength of its master's power), “狗嘴里吐不出象牙”(A dog's mouth emits no ivory). While in the western countries, dog is c onsidered to be man‟s faithful friend or beloved one. Dog is treated as one of the family members in European and American families. In some English idioms, the image of dog is used on a person. For instance, “You are a lucky dog”; “Every dog has his day”,“Old dog will not learn n ew tricks”, “ Love me, love my dog”, “a top dog” (a person who dominate the whole situation), “a water dog” (a person who is good at swimming), “to help a lame dog over a stile”(to help someone when he is in trouble), “Better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion”. If someone is heavily ill, then he is “sick as a dog”; if he is so ti r ed, then he is “dog tired”. On the contrary, Chinese people have a loving feeling for cat. The cultural connotation of cat usually refers to its cuteness and lovab le character. If people use “馋猫” to say someone is greedy for food, he or she is always saying it with affection. However, in the western culture, cat is the incarnation of devil and the guard of Middle Ages witch. Western people abominate cats, so they refer a woman harbors evil intentions as cat and an old lady who is bad-tempered will be called “old cat”.2.3.3 Religious Cultural FactorsReligious culture refers to the culture caused by a people‟s religious belief and ideology, which is expressed in a nation‟s warship and taboo differences. I n both English and Chinese languages, the number of idioms and expressions involving religion is quite huge. As language is the direct reality of ideology, the sharply different religious idioms are best portraiture of the two nations‟ religious concept.Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are the three great religions in China and have deep influence on Chinese culture. So in our traditional culture, we have “Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, the king of Hell” and “Dragon king” in myth. Those culturalimages will not be found in English culture. English people have their own cultural images in religion, such as God, because they believe Christianity. They think that world is created by God, and all things in the world are arranged by God. (Gen, 1998: 231)The Chinese saying “谋事在人, 成事在天” reflects the influence of Buddhism. Other idioms like “借花献佛”(to present Buddha with borrowed flowers-- to get things from another person to entertain one's own guests),“缘木求鱼”(do the impossible as one who climb a tree to catch fish—a fruitless approach), “闲时不烧香,临时抱佛脚” (make effort at the last moment ), “做一天和尚撞一天钟”(not make long-term plan; killing time is the only purpose), “道高一尺，魔高一丈” (While the priest climbs a post, the devil climbs ten) all represent the great influence of religious culture on Chinese language. Likewise, Christianity is the major source from which idioms relating with religious color derive. For example, “Man proposes, God disposes”; “God help those who help themselves”, “as poor as the church mouse”, “in the right church, but in the wrong pew”, “keep one‟s fingers crossed” (wish someone good luck).Bible is honored as classics by Christianity, as it gives an account of so many myths, legend, code, religious rules and historical events with religious coloring; therefore, plenty of idioms derived from Bible. Examples are “Job‟s patience” (very patient), “Judas kiss”, “a daughter of Eve”(female), “as wise as Solomon” (outstandingly wise and smart). (Li Qun, 2002)Let‟s look at another sentence, “He can be relied on. He eats no fish.” The phrase“to eat no fish” comes from a religious allusion. It means that, during Elizabeth I period, in order to express their loyalty, Christian refused to follow the custom that anti-governmen t Catholics eat only fish on Friday. Therefore, “to eat no fish,” means “loyalty”.2.3.4 Historical Cultural FactorsHistory culture is the culture that is formed during special process of history。

Since each nation has its own culture, its idioms represent each nation's unique culture.China and the UK both have a long history and abundant cultural sources.,also both of them have a large number ofidioms which represent their own cultural characteristics, however the ways of living, the geographical conditions and natural environments and others are different with different nations. The notions and ideas of the people of diverse nations and the forms of expressing, these concepts are by no means identical in all respects. So while translating them one shouldrefer to their own culture.The translation of idioms should follow the three basic requirements of translation: faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance, which were proposed by Chinese famous translator Yan Fu. And the translation should base on the linguisticcontext.But the translator should pay more attention to the non-linguistic context that is social culture. While translating English and Chinese idioms, the key to get the same meaning of original version is to completely understand the meaning of the original idioms especially the cultural connotation hidden behindthe idioms.In all , there are four methods of translating idioms. The first method is literal translation. Different cultures has their own in dividuality, meanwhile they also have commonness. In English and Chinese idioms a few of them have the equivalent literal meaning or cultural meaning. These idioms can be translated equivalently. Another is free translation. The translators have to understand the cultural meaning contained in the original idioms and translate it into the idioms contained the similar cultural meaning which can be understood by the readers. The third one is paraphrasing translation. To avoid the cultural gaps which will be produced naturally by direct literal translation without any notes. So the translators have to paraphrase the cultural background of these idioms so that thereaders can understand the cultural connotation of them. The last one is combination of literal translation and free translation. Literal translation will decrease the read ability of the version sometimes ,while free translation will often change the faithfulness of English idioms. In order to overcome this trouble, we may employ a combination of literal translation and free translation.English and Chinese belong to the different phylum. The cultures of the two languages are totally different. Some idioms which contain profound cultural information cannot be accepted by the readers. So the translation of the idioms should firstly be faithful to the original idioms. The translator should send more cultural information of the idioms to the readers in order to let the readers get the same impression.。
