摘要
英语习语作为语言文化的重要载体，蕴含丰富的历史、社会和民俗信息，其翻译不仅是语言转换的过程，更是跨文化交流的体现。本研究以英语习语的文化内涵为切入点，探讨其在翻译中的策略选择与实践应用。通过分析英语习语的形成背景及其文化特性，结合典型案例的对比研究，本文提出了一种基于文化适应性的翻译方法，旨在平衡源语文化的保留与目标语受众的理解需求。研究采用定性分析与实例验证相结合的方式，选取了涵盖隐喻、象征及历史典故等多类英语习语进行深入剖析，揭示了不同文化背景下翻译策略的差异性及其影响因素。结果表明，文化适应性翻译能够有效提升译文的可读性和文化传递效果，同时避免因文化隔阂导致的误解或信息丢失。本研究的创新点在于将文化维度融入翻译策略的构建，提出了“文化优先级”概念，并通过实证分析验证了其可行性。这一研究成果不仅丰富了翻译理论体系，也为英语习语的教学与传播提供了新的视角和方法论支持。

Abstract
English idioms, as significant carriers of language and culture, encapsulate abundant historical, social, and folkloric information. Their translation involves not merely the process of linguistic conversion but also the embodiment of cross-cultural communication. This study explores the strategic choices and practical applications in the translation of English idioms by focusing on their cultural connotations. Through an analysis of the formation background and cultural characteristics of English idioms, combined with comparative research on representative cases, this paper proposes a translation method based on cultural adaptability, aiming to balance the preservation of source-language culture with the comprehension needs of target-language audiences. The study employs a combination of qualitative analysis and empirical verification, selecting a range of English idioms that encompass me taphor, symbolism, and historical allusions for in-depth examination. It reveals the differences in translation strategies across diverse cultural contexts and identifies the influencing factors. The findings indicate that culturally adaptive translation can effectively enhance the readability of the translated text and the transmission of cultural nuances while avoiding misunderstandings or information loss caused by cultural barriers. The innovation of this research lies in integrating the cultural dimension into the construction of translation strategies and proposing the concept of "cultural priority," which is validated through empirical analysis. This research not only enriches the theoretical fr amework of translation studies but also provides new perspectives and methodological support for the teaching and dissemination of English idioms.
