莎士比亚的晚年优秀作品就是《暴风雨》。然而,《暴风雨》正是一隐喻叙事的产物。现如今,人们比较认可隐喻,它可以看作是一修辞方法,把感知到的物体、思想与感情等映射到一个和此事物有本质区别的事物上的过程。在所有的领域中都可以运用隐喻,特别是在现代思想中占据非常重要的地位。然而,在莎士比亚作品中,隐喻不只是一修辞手法,还是一个全新的思维方式。在《暴风雨》中始终贯穿有隐喻思维方式,这样一来,使人们在阅读《暴风雨》时将深奥难懂的内容变得更加浅显。可以说,《暴风雨》经历上百年依然经久不衰,这是和隐喻叙事有很大的关联。 Shakespeare’s fine work of his later years is “stormy.” However, “Storm” is exactly the product of a metaphorical narrative. Nowadays, people recognize metaphor more. It can be regarded as a rhetorical method that maps the perceived objects, thoughts and feelings to a thing that is essentially different from the thing. Metaphor can be used in all fields, especially in modern thought. However, in Shakespeare’s work, metaphor is not just a rhetorical device, but also an entirely new way of thinking. Metaphors are always traversed in Tempest, so that people become more familiar with esoteric content while reading The Tempest. It can be said that the “storm” has survived hundreds of years, which is closely related to metaphorical narrative.
