摘要

随着全球经济的不断深度一体化，各个国家之间的联系也越来越紧密。而英语作为世界上最广泛使用的第二语言，在许多的国际场合中充当着沟通的媒介。英语俚语作为英语的重要组成部分，因其幽默风趣，形象生动为越来越多的人接受并得到广泛使用。但是英语俚语的翻译也对翻译家们提出了严峻的考验。在现阶段的俚语翻译中，尽管翻译家们不断地通过各种方法尽量保持译文的原汁原味，但是仍有不尽人意的地方。于是本文在比较了一些优秀译文之后，以及在理解了一些期刊中的优秀论点的基础上，首先提出了一个全新的英语俚语定义，及其成型和特点，然后总结出一些在英语俚语翻译中存在的普遍问题，并提出针对性的解决原则以及解决策略，最后就是本文对于英语俚语翻译的意义。
