- Abstract
In the long civilization of human history, animals are closely connected with human beings and have profound effect on survival and development of human beings. The intimate relationship makes people form complex attitudes towards different animals, such as love, sympathy, disgust and fear, etc. People also use animals to convey and express human feelings, therefore there are many animal vocabularies in both English and Chinese cultures. Vocabularies reflect cultural difference. In English and Chinese, animal vocabularies are entitled specific cultural implications due to influences of history, customs, values and religious believes, etc.
