Abstract

Language is closely related with culture. Each language has its own distinctive native features and comprises deep cultural connotations. Therefore, to translators, the main difficulties of translation are the cultural differences between the eastern and western countries. To transmit the cultural message of the source language precisely, it is important for translators to pay much attention to cultural factors in the process of translation. The article deals with this problem and tries to tell us some methods about translating such kind of passages.
