Abstract:Idioms, as a special form of language, exist in culture and reflect cultural differences. They have fixed patterns and abundant connotations. Metaphors in idioms are extremely difficult for translators and English learners to comprehend because of the culture embodied in them.

Meanwhile, a series of principles and methods of idiom translation will be put forward. Key words: metaphor; idiom; cultural differences; translation
In conclusion, metaphors are crystal of human thoughts, the fruits of human wisdom and an important tool of social intercourse.
