They are crystallization of language and culture and closely related with cultural traditions. English Allusions have profound meaning although their forms are rather concise and terse. In daily communication, we always use allusions consciously or unconsciously. But the Chinese translation of English Allusions is a hard task for translators for their hidden and cultural background meaning is not as simple as their form. Therefore, this paper explores the origins and the corresponding translation of English allusions. It proposes three translation strategies in English allusion translation, aiming to help target readers accept the English allusions more easily and better understand Western culture through the use of English allusions.展开更多
