Abstract



Idioms are one of the important parts of a language. As a language form, idiom has its own characteristics and patterns and is used in high frequency both in written language and in oral language because idioms convey a host of language and cultural information. This paper explores the cultural and linguistic characteristics of English idioms in three parts.

The first part gives details of definition and 10 sources of English idioms including: the Bible, literary masterpieces, Greek and Roman myths, historic affairs, seafaring, agricultural life, daily life, ancient fables, anecdotes and animals' habitual behaviors.

The second part tells the cultural characteristics from both aspects of national and folk characteristics. In national characteristics, English idioms and Chinese idioms have much in common; however, they have more differences because of their geographical environment, history, religion and so on. Compared with Chinese idioms, English idioms reflect its own nation's characteristics. In folk characteristics, most English idioms come from ordinary people, reflect their everyday life, thought value and so on.

And the last part focuses on the linguistic characteristics of English idioms from 3 aspects: figures of speech, integrity styles and euphony styles.

The results demonstrate that learning to use idioms properly is extremely important for non-native speakers to achieve the command of authentic English. As a consequence, further exploring and more researches are to help learners gain mastery over this important aspect of English learning.

内容摘要



习语是英语的一个重要组成部分。作为英语的一个部分,习语有自己独有的特征和结构。习语承载着英语的文化特色,所以人们在书面上和口头上都广泛地使用习语。本论文就是从三个方面对习语的文化与语言特色进行阐述。

论文首先从十个方面详细地说明了习语的来源,这十个方面包括:圣经、文学名著、希腊、古罗马神话传说、历史故事、航海、农业生活、日常生活、古代寓言故事、名人轶事、动物习性。

第二部分从习语的民族和民间特色来阐述习语的文化特色。在民族特色方面,虽然英语习语与中国习语有着许多相同的地方,但是由于地理环境,宗教等各个方面的不同,英语习语有着自己独特的文化特色。在民间特色方面,英语习语大部分都是来自于普通百姓,反映着他们日常的生活,思想,价值观等等。

最后一部分着重于从修辞法,完整性和和谐性三个方面描述习语的语言特色。

这篇论文说明了正确地使用习语对于外语学习者掌握原汁原味的英语是非常重要的。因此,从这方面来说,更多的探讨与研究对于外语学习者掌握英语有很大的帮助。
