英语习语的中译研究Research on English-Chinese Translation of English Idioms Abstract: Every language is laden with idioms. English, as the most active and widely used language, enjoys a vast idiomatic basis, which makes its learning very exciting and interesting. And the task of translating entails comparing English and Chinese idioms in terms of cultural differences. When speaking of E-C idioms translation strategies, what enter our minds are two pairs of terms, literal translation and liberal translation, domestication and foreignization. The academic circle of E-C idioms translation has argued over their use for years, but till now no agreement has been reached. In fact, the two pairs of translation methods deal with translation from different perspectives, and they are just like two overlapping circles with only small shared parts. Researches on its normalization of translation can facilitate translations purposefully to peaceful interaction between cultural communities. Key words: English idioms; translation; culture differences; translation methods 摘 要：任何语言都包含着习语。英语作为当今最活跃、使用最为广泛的语言由于有着很广泛的习语基础，使得英语学习变得十分有趣。而英语习语和汉语习语的翻译涉及到了文化差异。当谈到英语习语的中译的方法时，主要有两个翻译方法：归化和异化。关于英语习语的中译方法学术圈已经争论了很久，目前还没有达成共识。事实上，两种翻译方法是从不同的角度来对待的，它们就像两个拥有很小交集的互相重叠的圆。跨文化交际使得多面的世界变得越来越小，翻译也变得更加频繁，成为进入另一文化空间的必要手段。英语习语的学习和翻译已经成为语言学习的一个重要环节。 关键词：英语习语；翻译；文化差异；翻译方法  Contents I.
