摘　　要：文章首先讨论了习语的隐喻性质及其理解机制以及将"认知翻译假设"理论应用于习语翻译的可行性与原则,在此基础上进行了集概念隐喻理论与翻译实践为一体的的教学实验。实验结果说明,概念隐喻理论教学能够提高学生理解习语隐喻的能力,学生认知翻译策略的选择与应用与其对隐喻概念转换场景的辨别能力密切相关。此外,学生的汉语表达能力也是影响其汉译结果的因素之一。The present paper firstly discusses the metaphorical nature of idioms as well as their processing mechanism and the validity along with the principles of applying ＂cognitive translation hypothesis＂ in idiom translation, on the basis of which an experimental instruction involving the conceptual metaphor theory and the translating practices is conducted. The results of the experiment reveal that the conceptual metaphor instruction is helpful for improving the students＇ ability to understand idioms＇ figurative meanings and that the choices and application of the cognitive translating strategies deployed by subjects are closely related to the participants＇ ability to recognize the proper metaphorical concepts exchange scenes. In addition, the competence of expressing in Chinese is also found to be a critical factor influencing the effectiveness in putting English idioms into their Chinese equivalents.
