时态是英语中较为显著的现象,其形式和意义只是相关,并非一一对应。在表示将来时间概念时,用现在时和将来时有什么不同,在表示过去时间概念时,用现在时和过去时又有什么不同,本文试图从情态隐喻的角度对这些语言现象进行分析。笔者认为,在掌握现在时的基本用法上,从情态隐喻角度对现在时进行分析,将有利于加深我们对这一时态的认识。
Tense is a more prominent phenomenon in English. Its form and meaning are only related, not a one-to-one correspondence. What is the difference between the present time and the future in expressing the concept of the future time? What is the difference between the present time and the past when expressing the concept of the past time? This article attempts to analyze these linguistic phenomena from the modality metaphor. The author believes that in grasping the basic usage of the present time, analyzing present time from the perspective of modality metaphor will help to deepen our understanding of this tense.
