On Culture Image of Idioms Translation

Abstract

Idiom is a group of words carrying meaning which is usually bounded with local culture. Idioms translation is complicated translation activity. Sometimes, culture image is an important element of a idiom. As people know, different countries and districts own different cultures. So people may say that the different civilizations have different influence on ways of people’s lives, histories and cultural perspectives which give various meanings to one certain thing. So in the case of translation activities, especially idiom translation, translators often meet the problem how to deal with the culture image. And appropriate ways may exactly convey the meaning from source language to target language. This paper has summarized three methods in dealing with it. They are: literal translation, proper selection from target language and abstractly management. There is a need to deal with the culture images; translators should pay much attention to it. Translators should observe grammar rules, translation standards, and also take other needs into consideration. Such as the culture variety, habits of expression and needs of respect other cultures and express clearly.

Key words: idioms translation, culture image, translation standards
