The animal word is an important part of language and many animal words are shaped by its culture and have cultural connotations. This thesis makes a comparative study of cultural connotations between English and Chinese animal words. And it discusses the factors which may cause differences of cultural connotations from three aspects: geography, history, custom. Also some implications on cross-culture communication are given. It is hoped that the present study may do some help for language learning and may help to eliminate the barrier to understanding in cross-cultural communication.
