The proper noun idiom is the kind of idiom that includes proper noun such as a person’s name or the name of a place. According to the noun included, it can be classified into 4 categories. This kind of idiom originates chiefly from Greek or Roman myths, the Bible, folklore, literature, everyday life and history. This article analyzes the characteristics of proper noun idiom and proposes 3 principles that are different from traditional techniques of idiom translation, i.e. to avoid the Chinese equivalents whenever possible; to adopt free translation when necessary; mainly to use literal translation. The literal translation is further divided into 5 skills.
