3.4.1 Modesty
Britain as a developed capitalist country is covered with fierce social competition so that people in there emphasize individual behaviors, achievement, and value. Their value orientations appear to be in contrast with Chinese in this aspect.
On the contrary, Chinese people often make self-negation to show modesty. Therefore, the Chinese have more modest language than English in the social activities. 3.4.2 Individualism
Being guided and influenced by the spirit of competition, western people think highly of individualism. In the eyes of Westerners, individualism means a pursuit of freedom and diversity, there are differences of people’s behavior, speech, thinking, which are almost synonymous with individualism. 以后内容已省略.......
The social conditions of western developed countries leads many people to accept this kind of faith, “Every man for himself and god for us all” (人人为自己，上帝为大家), “God helps those who help themselves” (自助者天助), “Every man is the architect of his own future” (自己的命运自己掌握), “Self is our centre” (自我是我们的中心). 3.5 From different views on colors

3.6 From different dialectical thoughts
Idioms are usually closely related to distinctive dialectical thoughts. Idioms from

dialectical thoughts are the gems of human cultural heritage. The western and Chinese people have their own dialectical thoughts, which have provided rich and varied materials for their idioms, and consequently give a national color to the idioms in the two languages.
Westerners would like to look at things dialectically. In all aspects of life, people try their best to pursue a harmonious state in their lives, and they always obedient to the nature. This is reflected in the idioms, such as “give way to sb. to avoid a conflict” (退避三舍), “to lock the stable gate after the horse has bolted” (亡羊补牢), “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” (这山望着那山高).
In contrast to the westerners, Chinese people like to recognize things as a whole that can’t be separated. 以后内容已省略.......
From the examples, people can see the Chinese idioms have structure stability while the English idioms have free styles.
4. Conclusion
We have discussed so much about the cultural differences between English and Chinese idioms. It is an important issue to understand and handle the relationship between culture and language. Meanwhile, language is not only the culture’s important content but also the carrier of culture, so culture and language are a whole.
Idioms constitute the kernel of a language. Various kinds of cultural differences constitute cultural barriers. Therefore how to solve the cultural factors in idioms is a touchstone of successful rendering of idioms. Idioms as a special form of language carry a large amount of cultural information. 以后内容已省略.......
In this paper, the differences between Chinese and western cultures in idioms have been explained in order to seek better ways for communication. Only by doing this can we try our best to minimize difficulties of cultural communication caused by cultural differences.
