摘要
语言是文化的一部分,是文化的一种体现方式,是将抽象的文化呈现在人类面前的一种生动的体现。语言不仅体现了人类的文化历史和背景,也体现了人类的生活方式和思维方式。语言的相似性可以体现文化的相似性,而作为语言中最具生动性的隐喻,它的相似性正好体现了中西文化的相似性。隐喻既是一种修辞手段,更是人类认知思维能力的一种体现。从认知的角度来看,隐喻就是使用我们较为熟悉的、具体的概念去理解、感知和判断抽象的、难以直接理解的概念,是一个从抽象到具体的过程。本文从不同的隐喻概念来认识中西文化的相似性,从而促进人类之间的相互了解,文化的共同发展。

In this paper, the problems are analyzed and some suggestions are given to improve the translations in the museum.
