语言不仅是人类重要的交际工具，还是民族文化的载体。从一个民族的语言可以窥见该民族的一些文化特征。由于一定的语言总是与一定的文化相联系，而不同的民族文化又各不相同，因此，其文化上的差异必然会在语言系统、特别是词汇层面上反映出来。对汉语和外语中的比喻形象进行 Language is not only an important human communication tool, but also a carrier of national culture. From a national language can be glimpsed some of the cultural characteristics of the nation. Because a certain language is always associated with a certain culture, and different national cultures are different, its cultural differences are bound to be reflected in the linguistic system, especially the lexical level.
