抽象的时间概念是通过隐喻其他具体的事物的概念来认识的。隐喻的基础是经验相似性,而经验相似性的形成与文化因素密切相关。通过汉英有关时间的隐喻表达,探讨了因不同文化传统而导致的两种认知和建构时间的方式,虽然两种语言的关于时间概念隐喻表达有很多差异,但是隐喻思维方式是全人类、各民族共有的。
The abstract concept of time is understood by metaphorical concepts of other specific things. Metaphor is based on the empirical similarity, and the formation of empirical similarity and cultural factors are closely related. Through the metaphorical expressions of time in both Chinese and English, this paper explores the two ways of cognition and construction of time due to different cultural traditions. Although there are many differences between the two languages about metaphorical expressions of time, the way of thinking of metaphors is that of mankind, Common to all ethnic groups.
