give a widely accepted definition for culture because culture includes every aspect of human life. according to tylor (1924), culture is “that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. goodenough (1957:167) pointed out, .a societys culture consists of whatever it is one has to know or to believe in order to operate in a manner acceptable to its members, and to do so in any role that they accept for any one of themselves. goodenough thus takes culture as socially acquired knowledge. from the statements above, we can see that linguistic expressions are often culture-loaded and can carry super-linguistic information. on the whole, we can understand culture in the following way. on one hand, culture means the total pattern of beliefs, customs, institutions, objects, and techniques that characterize the life of a human community. on the other hand, culture refers to the way of people, organizations, family patterns and political systems. it is like icebergs: some features can be seen, which includes housing, law, food, belief and customs, while the others are deeply hidden, which includes the way we encode information.idioms are culturally loaded. a good knowledge of idioms will pave the way for a practical application of idioms. so it is surely of great necessity to touch on the source of idioms and their national characteristics. this will not only help students to take care of these specific features in their study of idioms, but make the process of language learning meaningful. owing to the differences of the two cultures, most of the english and the chinese idioms are semi-corresponding or non-corresponding. there is the case in which their meanings are much more remote from their literal sense. to understand idioms of this kind some knowledge of culture is indispensable. this is whats discussed in chapter five, which will bring about good results in approaching the goal of the interaction. question1 by wangdandan: what are the differences between english and chinese idiom?answer: since both english and chinese are very rich in idiomatic expressions, they are not a separate part of the language which one can choose to use or omit, and they form an essential part of the general vocabulary of the language. as particular linguistic units, idioms have their own peculiar characteristics, which enhance their inseparability and constancy. generally, idioms have the following fundamental features:question2 by yao zhenmei: what are the major sources of idioms ?answer: if the source of an idiom is known, it is easier to figure out its meaning. most of the idioms have vivid images and appropriate metaphors which were not invented out of nothing but were the crystallization of wisdom formed during the process of ordinary peoples practice and cognition. the sources of both english and chinese idioms share a surprising similarity as well as the difference on account of their different geographical conditions, customs, histories and religions.question3 by dingwei: do you think knowing the source of idioms is help for figuring out it meaning ? why? show some examples to explain? answer: yes, to answer this questions, we have to take a glance at the sources of the idioms. if the source of an idiom is known, it is easier to figure out its meaning. most of the idioms have vivid images and appropriate metaphors which were not invented out of nothing but were the crystallization of wisdom formed during the process of ordinary peoples practice and cognition. the sources of both english and chinese idioms share a surprising similarity as well as the difference on account of their different geographical conditions, customs, histories and religions. the knowledge of the sources of these idioms may help us to comprehend what they really mean. for
