3。2 Stability

    Stability is the common practice in social language。 English idioms are similar to Chinese idioms on the structure, and the semantic and syntactic functions are relatively stable。 For example:

 ⑴ The word order cannot be changed。 a。三三两两By twos and threes≠by threes and twos

                                  b。吃惊 Gets the wind up≠get up the wind

  ⑵ The definite article cannot arbitrarily add or decrease, some of the words must be added。

  ⑶ Composition cannot arbitrarily change, increase or decrease in general。

  ⑷ Pragmatic function cannot be arbitrarily applied, and English idioms have fixed grammatical function。

3。3 Integrity

   English idioms tend to have extended and metaphorical meanings, so many words will lost their original semantics in those idioms, and then constitute a unified, complete semantic feature。
