Cultural Connotations of English and Chinese Idioms and Their Translation

Deng Qing-huan

Abstract

Idioms are an important part of the language and culture of a society. They may provide clues to a people's history, geography, social views, religious beliefs, and ways of living. So, in the course of translation, it is better to analyze and compare the cultural connotations of idioms first in order to show vividly the cultural connotations in the target language.
