and said in English Proverbs“God helps those that help themselves”，“ self is our centre”，“life is a battle”，These proverbs are warning people: only rely on ourselves， to succeed and a sense of Second， cultural differences Translation Strategy Translation is not simply two languages in the form of conversion， also includes the exchange of two cultures in mutual penetration and mutual M Liu Miqing 〔2〕 20， also said: translatability of culture identity， and by understanding the semantic system isomorphism theory and principles of human thought forms of the identity of the However， the relative with the structure and language of the ambiguity of the decision of the cultural translatability is To this end， the translator must take the necessary translation strategies to maximize the transmission of cultural Literal Translation Literal translation is by the original meaning and structure of the original language words and phrases directly translated into target language words， how to maintain the original language in the form of distortion， while without their significance 〔3〕 This method can retain the original language of the national colors， letting the target language readers have access to a large number of alien culture to enrich the target language of Such as: "All roads lead to Rome"， "eye for an eye， tooth for a tooth"， are from the translation from the English idiom and was accepted by In short， the literal translation faithful to the original emphasis from content to form the pursuit of maximizing the "letter"， but never equal out forms to promote the translation of the first mechanical Literal can keep the original image of the vivid metaphor， clever techniques and unique national style， especially for those who only unique for a nation with a unique cultural connotation of Paraphrase If the original literal translation can not be fully shown grace or cause the reader to understand the target language difficulties， to make use free Free translation refers to no other nation in the language equivalent of the word in accordance with the method of Chinese word formation and morphological components If the "hold a wolf by ears" to "riding a tiger"; to "as thick as thieves" to "intimateAnd literal compared to paraphrase a more focused sense， ignoring the details， require that the translation of natural In other words， the relationship between literal and free translation is actually "Forms" and "Ideas" relationship 〔3〕 In summary， the English produced in two languages with different cultural backgrounds， carrying different cultures， and this will inevitably lead to expression of the two languages there are many Properly handle the issue of cultural differences in translation， the translator should have not only comprehend the two cultures， sensing capability and the practical ability to use two languages， but also continuously improve their cultural accomplishments， and strive to have the original author with the ideal， feelings and Build cultural bridges as a translator， according to different circumstances， take a flexible translation strategies to overcome the obstacles caused by Western cultural differences， so that both respect the otherChinese culture， but also respect for their culture， so that translation as expressive， vivid， so as to achieve the purpose of cross-cultural ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 绝对原创
