Abstract

Idioms are just like incomparably resplendent bight pearls emitting dazzling rays in the palace of literature. Throughout the ages, they animate the works of countless men of literature and writing. Idioms have fixed patterns and abundant connotations. Their vivid images explicitly convey incisive meanings. Chinese idioms are part of the essence of Chinese culture with a history of thousands of years. In this thesis, the English translation of Chinese idioms will be discussed on the foundation of simply introducing the definitions, origins, features, and classifications of idioms, and a series of principles and methods of idiom translation will be put forward, mainly involving the translation of the Chinese idioms which have similar and dissimilar implications in English.

Key words

摘　要

習(xí)語猶如文學(xué)殿堂里一顆璀璨無比的明珠放射著歷久不衰的光芒， 古往今來，無數(shù)文人墨客的筆下都閃耀著它的異彩。它結(jié)構(gòu)固定而涵義深刻，用生動的形象明確地表達著深刻的思想。漢語習(xí)語是幾千年華夏文化的精髓之一。本文在簡單介紹習(xí)語就的定義，來源，特點及分類的基礎(chǔ)上，研究漢語習(xí)語的英語翻譯并提出一系列的漢語習(xí)語英譯的翻譯原則和翻譯方法,其中主要涉及對似和非對似漢語習(xí)語的英語翻譯。
