现代隐喻学认为人类的语言和思维都具有隐喻性。隐喻不仅是一种修辞手法,它更反映着人类的文化特征和思维方式,广泛存在于人类语言中。本文对英语和汉语中的隐喻进行了对比研究,认为在翻译过程中灵活运用恰当的翻译策略,将会促进不同文化的交流与融合。 Modern metaphorism holds that human language and thinking are metaphorical. Metaphor is not only a rhetorical device, it also reflects the human cultural characteristics and ways of thinking. It is widely found in human languages. This paper makes a comparative study of metaphors in English and Chinese, and believes that the proper use of appropriate translation strategies in the translation process will promote the exchange and integration of different cultures.
