Abstract: The thesis presents the analysis and comparision of cultural connotation between Chinese and English animal idioms, and analyzes the reasons that cause differences between Chinese and English animal idioms from literature works, religious beliefs and geographic environment. According to the comparision and analysis, we can see that animal vocabulary in any language doesn't only simply stand for a kind of animal. Instead, it's closely linked with culture, as well a bearer of culture. The culture information carried by animal idioms not only reflects the similarities and differences between two languages, but also highlights two nations' cultural characteristics.
