A Discussion on the E-C Translation of Animal Name Idioms

英语动物名称习语是不可直译的,尤其不可按其中动物名称的字面意义来译,否则,就会发生误译。要避免误译的最有效办法就是正确看待中西文化的差异,认真理解英语中含动物名称习语的深刻的民族文化内涵。

In English , Animal Name Idioms can＇ t be literally translated into Chinese, especially they can not be translated in accordance with the literal meaning of the animal name in the English idiom, otherwise they will be mistranslated.
