摘要：通常来说，比喻是最重要、人们研究最为广泛的一种修辞格,它本身就是极富寓意的一种语言表达形式。比喻性词语则是达成比喻这一目的时所使用的词、词组或句子。比喻这一修辞手法可以使说话或文字生动活泼、形象鲜明、增强表现力和感染力。翻译学界对于比喻性词语的修辞意义、构成法、翻译策略等都做过深入细致的研究。这些研究在一定程度上，发掘出了世界文化的共同点，帮助人们清晰地认识比喻性词语的突出作用.它们虽然在文化内涵上也有过研究，但是针对比喻性词语翻译与文化内涵之间的关系的研究还不够全面。本文将讨论文化内涵在英语比喻性词语中的体现，包括比喻性词语的特征和表达形式,比喻性词语的本体和喻体的对应关系，比喻性词语在几个不同方面所表现出的文化内涵以及比喻性词语的翻译和文化的关系。
