Abstract

Language is the carrier of culture and the idioms are the essence of it. In normal cultural communication, we often encounter the idioms with distinctive national cultural features and their application and translation problems. In the translation of idioms, we must take into account the customs and characteristics of ethnic cultures in different countries, needing to be sensitive to cultural differences between idioms and understand their cultural connotation and practical meaning to make translation vivid and faithful so as to make effective communication in different cultural environments.
