The current paper focuses on investigating the semantic and syntactic features of idioms, including idioms containing human-body parts in the two English novels “The Godfather”, “To Kill A Mockingbird” and their Vietnamese translation versions. Using comparison and contrast method, the paper attempts to point out the equivalent and non-equivalent references of human-body-part idioms found in the two English novels and their Vietnamese translation. The research results will be useful for improving English teaching and learning, especially English idioms, as well as English-Vietnamese translation of idioms.
