Adequacy of Translation of English Phraseologisms Summary All languages of the world are rich in phraseological combinations, having a special vocabulary composition and constructive structure. Phraseological phrases as one of the unified linguistic universals remain an actual object of study in various fields of science – lexicology, grammar, stylistics, phonetics, language history, philosophy, logic, country studies and, of course, translation studies. The analysis of the problems of translating phraseological units from a theoretical point of view comes to the conclusion that the semantics of stable combinations reflects a number of spectral-logical meanings and connotative components. In the process of translation, the national-ethnic component of phraseological units, their imagery, which represent an information and expressive complex, create the integrity of the content, emotional, expressive, national-cultural associations, is taken as a basis. Adequate translation of phraseological expressions becomes possible when a pragmatically chosen expression, without violating linguistic norms, reflects the mentality and national-cultural values of native speakers. In the process of translation it is necessary to take into account the semantic meaning of phraseological expressions, their in-depth analysis, interlingual equivalence. Adequacy is the way to an optimal translation, the way of finding an optimal translation solution and, therefore, it is a translation process that can result in an equivalent translation. Thus, in order to create an equivalent translation, the translator selects an adequate translation method.
