SPECIFICS OF TRANSLATING ENGLISH IDIOMS ON FINANCE (AS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE ECONOMIST)

Abstract

The paper considers the relevance of studying English idioms related to finance in modern English economic discourse. The research aims to identify the semantic content of these idioms and determine the author’s strategy for translating them into Russian. The author particularly pays attention to the theoretical aspects of a concept of “idiom” and identification of the author’s strategy of translating financial idiomatic combinations given in articles of the English-language magazine “The Economist”. The scientific novelty of the study is a detailed investigation of the specifics of translation by identifying a hidden or implied essence that allows one to interpret dissimilar situations in different language systems. The researcher works out practical recommendations for increasing the efficiency of memorizing and using English idioms in the financial sector. The findings are of practical value, they can be used in ESP classes at economic and financial universities.
