摘要
《老子》第八章明确提出"上善若水"的隐喻判断,并直言"故几于道"。全文中谈及了"水"与"道"共有的七种特点"居善地,心善渊,与善仁,言善信,政善治,事善能,动善时。"仅从文本上看,这七种特点应为"人"所具有,是"道"的分述,而无法得知为何"水"会具有且代表这七种品质,现着重探讨由始源域"水"到目标域"道"的隐喻机制和思维过程。
＂The highest good？is like？water＂ is a metaphorical expression, which is raised in chapter eight of Lao Tzu. It is also stated that ＂（water is） so near to Tao＂. The whole chapter discusses seven traits that ＂water＂ and ＂Tao＂ have in common：men think the ground the best place for building a house upon; among thoughts they value those that are profound; in friendshipthey value gentleness; in words, truth; in government, good order; in deeds, effectiveness; in actions, timeliness.＂ These terms are generally used to signify characteristics of ＂people＂ and are the particular descriptions of ＂Tao＂. However, the mere textual analysis cannot explain how ＂water＂ possesses and represents these traits. Therefore, the metaphorical mechanism and thinking process from the source domain of ＂water＂ to its target domain of ＂Tao＂ are mainly discussed in this thesis.
