Idioms are not only the essence of language, but also the epitome of the language is the concentrated reflection of linguistic features. Most idioms are working people in the production practice and everyday life created by the independent, fixed characteristics of language expression. Because idioms includes not only the image of the objective material wealth, but also carries colorful ethnic feelings and distinctive ethnic characteristics. How to effectively communicate to the target language readers primitives idioms inherent meaning, while maintaining its original language Translation' dissertation">Translation cultural connotations become critical. Sperber and Wilson in 1986 for the first time in their book \In the framework of relevance theory, verbal communication is an express - reasoning behavior: the speaker to the listener by express acts show their informative intention and communicative intentions; hearer express behavior of the other information provided, combined with context, understanding the speaker's intentions. In this communication process, both sides of communication with the best relationship oriented. Gutt (1991) further developed the relevance theory, the combination of relevance theory and translation presented Relevance Translation Theory. Gutt that success is just a translation of the original communicator and only the purpose and requirements of receptors in the cognitive aspects related to the environment similar to the original text. Relevance Theory and Translation of the translation as a process of reasoning brain mechanisms involved, is a communicative act is within or language primitives between Languages ??express - reasoning interpretation activities. The translator should be based on the intent of the original and the translation communicative cognitive structure and cognitive recipients environment for a reasonable choice of reasoning and language codes, make the translation between the recipient to find the best translation and contextual relevance. In other words, the translation must be oriented optimal relevance. Based on the particularity of idioms and their translation from theory to explore the relevance of Relevance Theory of Translation; According to translate as a special cross-lingual and cross-cultural communicative acts, is an interpretation of the original language for EXPRESS - reasoning process for Translation of English Idioms provide a new perspective.
