Abstract: This paper analyses the influences of the differences between the Chinese culture and the Western culture toward translation, from the perspective of religious belief, geographical environment, modes of thinking and different historical culture. It discusses two strategies of translating Chinese idioms. In order to introduce Chinese cultures to foreigners, we prefer the strategy of foreignization based on keeping the functional equivalence from the cross-cultural perspective. In translating English idioms, it aims to propose the integrated translation approach, one indispensable and important tactic to Chinese translation of English idioms based on Nida’s dynamic equivalence.

摘要：本论文从宗教信仰，地理环境，思维方式和不同的历史文化的角度，分析了中英文化差异对习语翻译的影响。在翻译汉语习语方面，本论文主要讨论了两种翻译策略。为了向外国人介绍中国的文化，在跨文化的角度保持功能等价的基础上，我们更喜欢异化策略。在英语习语翻译方面，更提倡的是综合翻译这种翻译方法，在奈达动态理论的基础上，是翻译英语习语的一个不可或缺的重要方法。
