Conceptual Metaphor Theory provides a new way to English teaching and acquisition.Metaphor,in essence,a means of understanding and experiencing one kind of thing in terms of another,is playing a vital role in the formation and development of the English vocabulary.Thus,it is vital to emphasize the in-put of the conceptual metaphor theory in the English vocabulary teaching which helps learners to understand the semantic evolutionary mechanism,to provide learners insights in understanding the cultural implications in words,to develop their English metaphorical awareness;English learners may then naturally produce more figurative English expressions and achieve the objective of the integrated use of language.
