Metaphor not only used for poetic effect,also enables human beings to understanding and describing abstract things.And the source domains tend very often to be concrete,things that we can experience directly.While the target domains tend to be abstract.,常規(guī)隱喻(,conventional or dead metaphors,),“通過長期建立的常規(guī)關系而無意識進入語言的隱喻才是最重要的Ungerer&Schmid 1996:117),萊考夫(1980)把隱喻看做是人們思維、行為和表達思想的一種系統(tǒng)的方式,即隱喻概念,(metaphorical concept or conceptual metaphor,)結構隱喻,(Structural Metaphor),以一種概念的結構來構造另一種概念,使兩種概念相疊加,將談論一種概念的各方面的詞語用于談論另一概念。
