Abstract
English idiom plays an important role in culture exchange. However, for the British and the Chinese, different cultures give a rise to many difficulties in idioms understanding. Therefore, in order to boost intercultural communication, the accurate translation of English idioms is of great significance. A great deal of research on the strategies for translating idioms has come into existence. But few research papers focus on idiom translation from the perspective of foreignization and domestication. This thesis is intended to explore English idiom translation by means of employing foreignization and domestication and analyze how to flexibly apply these two strategies in the process of idiom translation.
