Abstract
As important figures of speech, simile and metaphor are marked with unique national and cultural colors. Therefore, the sense of simile and metaphor is frequently culture-specific. Approaches to cultures involved in the translation can be generally divided into foreignization (SL culture-orientation) and domestication (TL culture-orientation). In order to reproduce cultural connotations and pragmatic meanings of simile and metaphor, translators often use these techniques: literal translation, literal translation plus explanation, literal translation plus annotation, substitution and free translation.
