摘　　要：本文调查了习语的语义分析性、语境和阅读能力对中国EFL学习者理解英语习语的影响。调查结果表明,无语境时,习语的语义分析性和习语理解相关性不大;而有语境时,透明习语比模糊习语更容易理解。语义分析和利用语境信息两种语言处理策略的结合更能促进学习者理解二/外语习语。学习者的习语理解能力与其语篇处理能力、语境使用能力紧密相关。阅读能力差的学习者比阅读能力强的学习者抑制习语字面意义理解的能力更差。比喻语言习得整体理解模式也适用于解释二/外语习语理解过程。This paper investigates the effects of transparency,context and reading competence on Chinese EFL learners'comprehension of English idioms.Its findings reveal that: 1) the semantic analyzability of idioms is not correlated with idiom comprehension in isolation;2) while in supportive context,transparent idioms are significantly easier to interpret than opaque idioms;3) the competence of idiom comprehension is closely related to the text comprehension skills and the ability of using context;4) poor readers are less capable than skilled readers in suppressing the literal interpretation of idioms'meaning;5) the Global Elaboration Model on figurative language acquisition can also be applied to the EFL/ESL idiom comprehension process.
