隐喻作为一种带着丰富的文化底蕴普遍的语言现象,在跨文化交际中,对隐喻的翻译就尤其重要。译作要受到译者所处的文化背景、社会现实的制约。反之译者对隐喻的翻译又反映了译者的文化能力和文化修养。本文拟从隐喻出发来探讨如何正确翻译异域文化的几种方法,以期提醒翻译工作者对文化因素的注意。 Metaphor, as a linguistic phenomenon with a rich cultural heritage, is especially important in intercultural communication. Translation should be subject to the cultural background of the translator, social constraints.

This article intends to discuss how to correctly translate the exotic culture from the perspective of metaphor, in order to remind the translators of the cultural factors.
