According to Christian Nord(1997:34) #8220;Translating means comparing cultures. Translators interpret source culture phenomena in the light of their own culture-specific knowledge of that culture, from either the inside or the outside, depending on whether the translation is from or into the translator#8217;s native language and culture.#8221; In the process of this comparison, translators not only import cultural values and carry out a unilateral transfer from a source language into a target language, but also cross and blur the lines between foreign cultural values and those of their own society. Aixel(1996)a provided a definition for culture-specific item .Different textual status, according to Aixela, refers to a different value caused by different ideology, habit or frequency of use.Besides the above points, Wang Zuoliang (2000:2) once pointed out that #8220;The greatest difficulty in translation lies in the differences between two cultures. What is self-evident in one culture has to be painstakingly explained in another culture.#8221; There have less research that based on the theory, especially for the previous comment. The research main focuses on the language and language teaching.
