摘　　要：Idioms are the essence of language and a concentrated form of culture.As an important and core component of the linguistic world,they hold significant meaning and value for both academic research and practical application.Due to differences in political,cultural,historical,and regional backgrounds and characteristics,the existence,development,and usage of Chinese and English idioms vary,reflecting culture while also being influenced and constrained by it.In the translation process,a rigid,word-for-word translation of the cultural information in idioms may spark controversy.By analyzing the cultural values they reflect and comparing the cultural connotations of Chinese and English idioms,we can see the vast differences between Chinese and Western cultures.Therefore,only with a thorough understanding of the cultural characteristics of the East and West can one profoundly comprehend the meanings of Chinese and English idioms.
