The idiom is a kind of special speech form that is particular in meaning,grammatical structure and usage.
Idiomatic expressions are even difficult for native English speakers because their meanings cannot be determined through an analysis of their individual words.For instance,“to fall out” means “to quarrel”,but neither “fall” nor “out” has a sense of quarrel.Another example is “a feather in one’s cap”,which means “an honor or a success,of which one can be proud”.The meaning of this idiom is a metaphorical one.“Under the rose” is also very difficult to understand from the literal meanings of its component words.Its true meaning is “secretly”.“To have a bee in one’s bonnet” means “to have a strange fixed idea about something”.“To kick the bucket or to bite the dust” means “to die”.The figurative interpretation of “shoot the breeze” is “to talk without purpose”.Unlike literal language,it is impossible to explain the idiom from the literal meaning of the individual words.Thus,English idioms are difficult to understand and acquire,because they are a combination of two or more words,which function as a unit of meaning.
For we Chinese students,English idioms are a stumbling block.It is very possible that they often not only feel at a loss in understanding conversations because of a key idiom but also misused idioms.In this paper,I am going to make a study of the relationship between idioms and culture and throw some light on the learning of English idioms.
As we all know,language is closely related to culture and can be said as a part of culture.From a dynamic view,language and culture interact with each other and shape each other.Language is the carrier of culture,which in turn is the content of language.We can dig out cultural features from language and explain language phenomena with culture.
Idioms as a special form of language exist in both of them and carry a large amount of cultural information such as history,geography,religion,custom,nationality psychology,thought pattern and so on,and therefore are closely related to culture.They are the heritage of history and product of cultural evolvement.Consequently,we can know much about culture through studying idioms and in turn get better understanding of idioms by learning the cultural background behind them
