Idioms, composed of various linguisticcharacteristics, are frequently usedby both Chinese and foreign people,
making them perfect material to analyze different topics of intercultural communication.Through translations of
idioms, we can easily find the integration and differences between English and Chinese idioms. In the process of
translating, translators have to be acutely aware of not only the language differences, but also the associations and
differences between the cultural background of two languages. By studying bilingual material after the translation
is completed, re-comprehension of different cultures and their features can beacquired and it can feed back to our
translation missions and foreign exchange activities. This paper aims to analyze the differences and integration of
intercultural communication through examples of several idioms translation to illustrate the importance of
intercultural communication view in translating and give translators a new prospective for translation strategies.
