摘要

本文主要是通过汉英习语翻译示例来揭示汉英文化的差异在习语中的体现，在异化归化理论的基础上，探讨了翻译中的异化法、归化法、意译法与直译法的结合、注释法在汉英习语翻译中的应用。本文认为把握汉英文化差异，灵活使用翻译技巧是做好习语翻译的关键，通过比较分析不恰当的习语翻译，提出相应的完善建议本文认为把握汉英文化差异，灵活使用翻译技巧是做好习语翻译的关键。在当今全球化语境下，习语翻译在传播文化中的作用越来越明显，对译者的要求也越来越高。本文讨论了异化和归化两种翻译策略，异化与归化两者是相互补充，缺一不可的。但是当两者无法做到统一时，作者支持归化为主的翻译，因为习语翻译的目的是交流。 然而，在习语翻译中如何既忠实于习语的原本意思又体现其文化内涵仍然值得我们去探讨。
