Ⅰ.Introduction
Idioms as a special form of language that carry a large amount of cultural information, such as history, geography, religion, custom, thinking pattern and so on. Therefore, they are closely related to the culture, especially idioms have an inseparable relationship of social customs. From a dynamic view, language and culture interact with each other and shape each other. Idiomatic expressions are even difficult for native English speakers because their meanings cannot be determined through an analysis of their individual words. For instance, “to fall out” means “to quarrel”, but neither “fall” nor “out” has a sense of quarrel. Another example is “a feather in one’s cap”, 本论文英语论文网www.51lunwen.org整理提供which means “an honor or a success, of which one can be proud”. The meaning of this idiom is a metaphorical one. “Under the rose” is also very difficult to understand from the literal meanings of its component words, its true meaning is “secretly”. “To have a bee in one's bonnet” means “to have a strange fixed idea about something”. “To kick the bucket” means “to die”. The figurative interpretation of “shoot the breeze” is “to talk without purpose”. Unlike literal language, it is impossible to explain the idiom from the literal meaning of the individual words. Thus, English idioms are difficult to understand, because they are a combination of two or more words, which function as a unit of meaning.
For our Chinese students, English idioms are a stumbling block. It is very possible that they often not only feel at a loss in understanding conversations because of a key idiom but also misuse idioms.  In this paper, I am going to make a study of    the relationship between idioms and social custom cultures and throw some light on the learning of English idioms. As we all know, language is closely related to culture and can be said as a part of culture. They are the heritage of history and product of cultural evolvement. Consequently, we can know much about social custom culture through studying idioms and in turn get better understanding of idioms by learning the cultural background behind them.

Ⅱ.The Definition of English Idioms
To research idiom, first of all, we must understand what is idiom. This is the old theme that we discuss it. Because to define the idiom exactly and popular accepted definition is a difficult question. In the definition of English idioms, some scholar emphasis on the words quantity of structure in idioms. That is to say, how many language units to constitute the English idioms? Is it except the phrases, words group, and words or sentences also can make up to the idioms? Others emphasize the single meanings of English idioms, it refers that the English idiom’s meaning is arbitrary. The English idiom’s meaning can not be synthesized or cut apart. Different people hold the different opinions on the definition of English idioms; they have different focal point on the definition of English idioms. So we must understand the definition of English idioms exactly through the research. Although we are unlikely to give an ideal definition to the English idioms; but we should give a better definition of English idioms before the research.
In the book A Research on English Idiom, the author thinks before we decide what expression is idiom, we should consider the following three points: first, the English idiom should have two words to constitute at least; second, the structure of En论文英语论文网提供整理,提供论文代写英语论文代写代写论文代写英语论文代写留学生论文代写英文论文留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
