1. Introduction
Idioms can reflect culture like a mirror. There are plenty of colorful-specific idioms both in Chinese and English, and they are widely used in our daily life. Animals have an intimate relationship with our daily life. We do a large number of things to animals: we kill them, eat them, hunt them, train them and so on. The study of idioms has been proceeding well since the 1970s in China, where Chen Wenbo, Yang zijian and Yu Fumin are viewed as the forerunners in this field. Dictionaries, such as A Chinese-English Dictionary of Idioms (1982), An English—Chinese Dictionary of Idioms (1993) and A Dictionary of Current Idiomatic English (1999), are the most influential of all the monographs on this subject available domestically. However, the contrastive study of English and Chinese animal idioms is yet to be further unexplored. With the deepening of intercultural communication between Chinese and English, more and more people realize that animal idioms are likely to cause misunderstanding in intercultural communication due to the persities of their cultural connotations. Therefore, this thesis emphasizes on the similarities and differences of connotative meanings of English and Chinese animal idioms , and aims to explore effective methods or strategies for translating them in a proper way.源/自:优尔:;论-文'网www.youerw.com 浅谈英汉动物习语的对比及翻译:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_57988.html
