摘要 

中华文化源远流长、博大精深，汉语成语更是宏大历史的一种见证，它是经过历史洗礼、包含民族精神文化的象征。汉语成语因其丰富的历史内涵和文化意义，成为了中华文化对外输出的一种方式。网络发展使得全球化时代的迅速到来， 汉语成语也在文化外宣中起到了重要作用。因此，汉语成语的英译也逐渐受到了重视。

本文旨在探讨汉语成语的相关特点及其可译性相关研究。通过分析研究汉语成语的语法、认知、结构、文化四个方面的特点，以关联理论和乔姆斯基语言学观点为理论基础，通过举例分析的方式研究汉语成语可译性的问题。不同翻译策略的选择也会有不同的翻译效果，在对这些译文进行分析后，本文也提出了具有参考意义的翻译策略选择模式。本文力求系统总结汉语成语的特点，清晰地分析出汉语成语的可译性，并对外语学习、对外汉语教学有所帮助。
