Abstract

One of the major application of language contrast is translation. Two methods of translation are literal translation and free translation, and two strategies of it are foreignization and domestication. However, the translation of Chinese and English idioms cannot only be focused on the above methods and strategies. The theory of functional equivalence, which is centered on the theory of readers’ response, provides a broader perspective for Chinese and English idiom translation and its teaching.
