Abstract

There are huge differences between Chinese and English people's understanding of Ethics, which is reflected in languages, especially in idioms. Chinese ethics is based on the thoughts of "Nature-Human Integration" and "Collectivism", while the English ethics is obedient to the thoughts of "Nature-Human Separation" and "Individualism". This essay compares and analyzes the reflection of Chinese and English ethics in Chinese and English idioms.
