Translation of Idioms on the Cultural Level

"Translators are the shadow heroes of literature, the often-forgotten instruments that make it possible for different cultures to talk to one another, who have; enabled us to understand that we all, from every part of the world, live in one world.”(Auster, 2007). James Howell, in "Familiar Letters" in1650 said: "Distance sometimes endears friendship, and absence sweetened it." This was the story behind the idiom absence makes the heart grows fonder.
