摘要: 文化与动物词汇意义有着密不可分的关系:文化制约着动物词汇的意义,反过来动物词汇又折射出文化的丰富内涵。由于中英在文化内容、文化传统和文化心理等方面有差异,以及其他多种原因,使得英语文化动物词汇比汉语文化动物词汇丰富,且在意义上存在着一定的差异,容易造成理解和表达上的错误,应引起注意。Abstract: The meaning of animal lexicon is connected with culture.That is,changes in the meaning of animal lexicon are determined by culture,in turn,cultural content is reflected by the cultural meanings.English culturally-loaded animal words are more than Chinese.Besides,they are different in meaning owing to different cultural content,tradition,psychology and many other causes,which are likely to invoke errors in comprehension and expression
