英汉习语的文化差异,源于中英两个民族在不同的历史进程中形成的文化意识差异,诸如在生存环境、风俗习惯、地理环境、历史背景等方面所表达的意义存在着明显的差异。只有在了解和掌握两个民族各不相同的文化渊源的基础上,才能顺利进行习语的学习。 The cultural differences between English and Chinese idioms originate from the differences in cultural awareness between Chinese and English peoples in different historical processes. There are obvious differences in meaning such as living environment, customs, geographical environment and historical background. Only by understanding and mastering the cultural origins of the different ethnic groups can we successfully carry out the study of idioms.
