摘　　要：A proverb is the refinement of a culture, the short but best description of a national character, and the marked representatives of a value sense. Both Chinese and English have affluent proverbs. With the development of globalization and the widely use of English, more and more English proverbs are introduced into China."Proverbs strengthen the English language force."(Luo, 2006)The introduction of English proverbs into Chinese has largely enriched the expression of Chinese. It is the translation that makes the transmission process smooth. "Translation is the transformation and the embodiment of two languages, and it requires us to cross the barrier of both languages and cultures"(Chen,2002), therefore, the translation of proverbs needs attach more importance to cultural connotation.A proverb is the refinement of a culture, the short but best description of a national character, and the marked representatives of a value sense.
