oice. Translate it into 巴米萨请客---虚情假意，just as Chinese enigmatic folk similes. Or we can add a footnote to explain the idiom, which may help the target language readers understand this idiom more easily. 4. Conclusion In the thesis, some important strategies of the translation of English idioms are talked about. Through theoretical analysis and research results, it is concluded that these strategies make great contribution to the development of translation. An idiom usually has an implied meaning. It cannot be interpreted only according to its literal meaning. Indeed there is much cultural information in English that is vacated in Chinese. Perhaps at the very beginning, the target language readers would feel truly “Culture Shock”(文化冲击) [14], but as time goes on, they become accustomed to the idioms that come from other cultures. The author believes firmly that the reader’s ability to accept the new cultural images is hard to assess and cannot be underestimated. With the frequenter international communication day by day, the readers get in touch with more and more external culture; the readers nowadays will understand and absorb the foreign culture without difficulty. Therefore so long as not to affect the understanding of the source language, the author advocates translating idiom literally as far as possible to carry on the culture which promotes the cultural exchange among the different countries and makes great progress to the cultural globalization. Just because of the great importance of translating strategies, the aim of this paper is to produce efficient English translation strategies and enable the target language readers understand the foreign culture more easily. So it suggests some useful strategies to help them solve the problem of “random holes in patterns”. With the help of these strategies, the target language readers will be lightened. But the most useful strategy for them is getting in touch with foreign culture as much as possible by themselves. At that time, the problem of “Culture Shock” will become a paper tiger, no longer blocking the way of efficient and effective English translation.
