摘要
道德是人们认可并遵循的既定行为准则和社会准则,是人类社会的高级意识形态之一。隐喻作为一种新型有力的认知工具,不应该单单被认作一种浅层次的语言修辞行为。借助隐喻这一柄认知利剑,抽象而深邃的道德概念得以表达和理解。以当代隐喻学为理论新阈,对汉英道德概念隐喻性表达予以语际对比并对其生成理据和深层诱因进行深入挖掘整理。汉英道德隐喻性表达基于人类普遍共享的认知体验而拥有相当程度的共性,在映射道德概念时皆涉及空间、身体和植物等源域;同时鉴于不同民族文化背景距离悬殊,二者之间又存在诸多细微差异。
Morality is an established code of conduct and social norms recognized and followed by people,and it is one of the advanced ideologies of human society.Metaphor is not only a shallow-level language rhetoric,but also a new and powerful cognitive mechanism.With the help of the cognitive sword of metaphor,abstract and profound moral concepts can be expressed and understood.Taking contemporary metaphorology as a new theoretical threshold,this paper carries out an interlingual comparison of the metaphorical expressions of moral concepts in Chinese and English,and conducts the in-depth excavation and sorting out of the motivations and incentives.The metaphorical expressions of morality in Chinese and English are based on the common cognitive experience shared by human beings,displaying the higher degree of universality.Such source domains as space,body,and plant are mapped onto the moral concepts in two languages.In the meantime,the great disparity in cultural backgrounds of different nationalities results in plenty of subtle divergences between the two.
