The theme of the present course paper is “Translation of Proverbs and Idioms from Russian into English”. Idiom is a phrase or expression whose total meaning differs from the meaning of the individual words. For example, to blow one's top (get angry) and behind the eight ball (in trouble) are English- language idioms. Idioms come from language and generally cannot be translated literally (word for word). Foreign language speakers must learn them just as they would learn vocabulary words. The object of the work is the translation of proverbs and idioms from Russian into English. The aim of the work is an attempt to study the aspects of idioms, the cases of their usage and to analyze the frequency of idioms usage referring to English and Russian. To achieve the set aim we determine the following tasks: - to define phraseology; - to study the ways of forming phraseological units; - to classify idioms; - to look through the difficulties of translating proverbs and idioms from Russian; - to analyze the frequency of idioms' usage referring to English and Russian. Structurally the presented work consists of: introduction, two parts, conclusion, and bibliography.
