Abstract

Idioms are profound in both Chinese and English languages. A good command of idioms can be of benefits in language acquisition, especially for Chinese English learners. The free transition between English idioms and Chinese ones is necessary for interaction, no matter in written or daily social interactions. This paper observes how to make sense of idioms in both the English and Chinese languages by adopting distinguishing translation tactics, with the purpose of facilitating TESOL teachers as well as Chinese English learners upon learning and using idioms more effectively.
