Résumé :	The aim of this research is, on the one hand, to have some insights about students’ knowledge of idioms. On the other hand, it sheds light on the major difficulties students find in grasping the figurative sense of English idioms and the different problems they come across in translating idiomatic expressions into Arabic. The choice of this subject is determined by the fact that idioms are the most problematic part of language to deal with. The Data for this study are collected through a test that is given to 3rd year students of English in order to assess the degree of familiarity/unfamiliarity with the different categories of idioms and to check the impact of this familiarity if ever on their translation performance. The results obtained have confirmed the hypothesis we postulated. Students are found to be more familiar with literal idioms. They, however, lack knowledge of pure and semi idioms and this affects largely their translation performance. They have also revealed that students are found to use paraphrasing strategy to overcome the difficulties of translating the idiomatic expressions they are not familiar with. This means they are at least aware that word for word translation is not helpful as it destroys the real meaning of the idioms whose meaning escape literal interpretation.
