隐喻是一种人类认知和思维的方式,是语言交际中的一种常见现象。在外语教学中,外语教师要尽可能让学生多接触所学语言的文化和真实语境。在课堂上教师应多讲授隐喻的内涵,发展学生的隐喻思维,培养隐喻能力。外语教师要尽可能多的创设真实语境,让学生在视觉,听觉,触觉和行为上获得直观的生活体验,深入理解和准确解读隐喻。当然在培养学生的隐喻能力当中,应避免受到文化因素的制约,避免文化负迁移,避免产生错误的隐喻认识和错误的语言表达。培养学生良好的隐喻解读能力有利于学生真正掌握外语。 Metaphor is a way of human cognition and thinking, is a common phenomenon in language communication. In foreign language teaching, foreign language teachers should try their best to make students more in touch with the culture and real context of the language. In class, teachers should teach more about the connotation of metaphor, develop students’ metaphorical thinking and develop metaphorical ability. Foreign language teachers should create as many real contexts as possible to enable students to obtain an intuitive life experience in terms of sight, hearing, touch and behavior, and to understand and accurately interpret the metaphor. Of course, in cultivating students’ metaphorical ability, we should avoid being constrained by cultural factors, avoid negative cultural transfer, and avoid wrong metaphorical understanding and wrong language expression. Developing a good metaphorical reading ability helps students to master the foreign language.
