中英动物词习语的文化内涵与翻译
摘要现今，随着经济全球化的增强，中国与西方国家之间的文化交流显得愈发重要与密切。它们之间的翻译交际也越来越广泛地被使用，因此，了解中英之间的文化差异势在必行。
语言是文化的载体，习语是语言的浓缩精华，携带着浓厚的文化特色。习语是一种表达方式，它可能是一个单词，也可能是一个短语，它们都携带着丰富的形象内涵，在日常生活中，它们的使用司空见惯。习语源于日常生活，有的诙谐幽默，又有的充满着深刻的涵义。动物是人类的朋友，在中英两国语言中，有很多习语是以动物词作为意象的。随着人类社会的发展，人们与动物结成紧密的联系，并且他们常常将自己的情感，甚至是某些自然现象寄予诸多动物身上，来表达自己的喜怒哀乐。久而久之，动物词逐渐在当地语言中确立了它们的内涵地位。
不同的地理环境、历史传统、审美或者语言发音都会造成中英动物词文化内涵的差异，并且它们都保持着各自的文化特征。翻译不仅仅是信息的转换过程，也是一种跨文化交际活动。通过列举中英语言中一些极具代表性的动物习语，比较两者异同，分析造成这种差异的潜在因素，最后对翻译策略进行讨论，此论文研究内容对中英文化交流有一定重要性。并且可在跨文化交际中，帮助人们更好地理解、尊重两国文化，促进两国文化融合和更加顺畅的交流。
