“理解是看见”是认知语言学中的一个著名的概念隐喻。它是关于智识的视觉性隐喻。以钱钟书《管锥编》等著作中收集的喻例看,关于智识的视觉性隐喻不只是“理解是看见”。另外两个相当重要的隐喻是“智识是光源”与“智识是显映”。这三个隐喻是相容的,原因与此有关:对视觉和一般认知的作用机制存在两种通俗解释。可以认为这三个隐喻构成了一个“隐喻组群”。 “Understanding is See ” is a famous conceptual metaphor in cognitive linguistics. It is a visual metaphor of intelligence. Taking the metaphor collected in the works such as Qian Zhongshu’s Cone, we can see that the visual metaphor about intelligence is not just “comprehension is to see”. Another two very important metaphors are “knowledge is the light source” and “wisdom” is the manifestation of “. The three metaphors are compatible for this reason: There are two popular explanations for the mechanism of action of vision and general cognition. You can think of these three metaphors as a ”metaphorical group."
