Abstract
English is rich in idioms which are terse, vivid and expressive. ＂A and B＂ construction is a unique form of idioms in that they are lexically short, structurally fixed, eollocationally graceful, phonetically rhythmic and make smooth and easy reading, and as a result, such idioms are rhetorically effective. As idioms are special language combinations, importance should be attached to pre- serving their forms apart from keeping their original meanings. The four strategies, namely, foreignization, domestication, neutralization and four-character expressions, prove practical in E-C translation of such idioms.关键词
