摘要：This research aims at exploring the similarities and dissimilarities between some English idioms and their traditionally accepted Arabic translations and/or natural equivalents. The researchers adopt a comparative/contrastive approach in order to identify the similarities and dissimilarities between the idioms under study in the two languages as well as cast some light on the cultural differences reflected by them. For practical purposes, the scope of the present research is confined to idioms that relate to the parts of the body and the five senses, with particular reference to the spoken variety.
