习语同文学作品一样是语言的精华：

它们承载着一个民族的文化特色和文化信息。

世界上凡历史比较悠久的语言都包含大量的成语，汉、英两种语言即是如此。

由于汉、英两族在历史文化背景、传统习惯及思想方法等方面有显著差异，反映在成语的形象、含义及用法上也大不相同。

习语中的文化因素给翻译带来了困难。

只有通过适当的翻译技巧和方法，才能使译文既能保持原文的特色，又能清楚地表达。

习语是语言中重要的修辞手段，经常用音的和谐来达到易懂易记，生动有趣的目的。

它没有规则的句子结构，却有着相对固定的自身表达形式。

习语的这些特点为它的翻译增加了难度。

为了使读者更好的理解并运用习语，在翻译中译者必须考虑其背后的文化因素。

同样的习语在不同的语境中将会有完全不同的翻译，它反映了中西方人们在生活习俗，思维习惯，性格以及对待色彩等方面的不同看法。

本论题将通过习语的翻译向读者介绍一些中西方的文化差异，以便人们能更好的交流。
