The Differentiation of Associative Meanings of Animal Words between English and Chinese Languages and Translation

Animal words contain not only literal meanings but also rich cultural connotations.Chinese and English nations have their own histories,traditions,thinking and languages,which endow animal words with rich associative meanings.Translation is a cross-cultural language communicative activity,which is not only the process of language transformation,but also a kind of cultural transmission activity.Only when the translation of animal words root in the culture,can cross-cultural language communication be successful.
