Introduction 
Edward Burnett Tylor, a British social anthropologist, said in his Primitive Culture (1871), “Culture is a kind of complexity. It includes knowledge, belief, art, moral, law, custom and some habits formed by living in a certain society…”thus we can find that culture covers a wide area, it is a complex system. And language, as a part of culture, reflects a colorful national culture.
Mr. Zhu Guang-qian said in his About Translation, “In the foreign culture, the most difficult thing to understand and translate is the associate meaning…” “It has special atmosphere of sense, and it is profound and delicate. We cannot find them in the dictionary, but it is so important to the literature. If we are not familiar with the custom and the history background of a country, we will be blind to the meaning of the words and can’t translate it well.”
