摘要
经济的运行及其发展对大多数人来说是比较抽象的。经济领域里的抽象概念往往都可通过隐喻概念来再现。本文通过对英汉经济报道语篇中大量实例的分析,总结归纳出常见的六种隐喻概念。这些隐喻概念的运用一方面说明了隐喻认知的普遍性和各民族认知间存有的共性,同时我们也看到,受自身民族社会文化等因素的影响,隐喻概念系统的运作中也有一定的跨文化的差异。
It is rather abstract for most people to understand the daily operation and the development of economy. To improve the situation, the abstract notions in the economic field are usually expressed via the metaphorical concept. In this paper, a large number of examples from both English and Chinese economic news reports are analyzed and six types of metaphorical concept are extracted. The application of metaphorical concept suggests the universality in the metaphor cognition which is common among all nations. It also demonstrates the subtle distinctions in the detailed application of metaphorical concept due to national, social, and cultural differences.
