从认知角度对不同文化中隐喻概念进行对比研究,来寻找隐喻表达存在的差别和成因。发现中英隐喻表达存在一定的认知上的差异,它们所处的不同文化造成了具有不同的隐喻性表达的原因。因此,对隐喻概念的理解和认识就要从其所处的文化背景进行着手。 From the perspective of cognition, this paper makes a contrastive study of metaphorical concepts in different cultures to find out the differences and causes of the existence of metaphorical expressions. It is found that there are some cognitive differences between Chinese and English metaphorical expressions, and the different cultures in which they are located cause different metaphorical expressions. Therefore, the understanding and understanding of the concept of metaphor should proceed from the cultural background in which it is located.
