本文立足于我国已故著名学者钱钟书的隐喻两柄多边理论,对当下红极一时的认知隐喻理论提出质疑,并通过大量例句说明隐喻与文化的密切联系。最能说明问题的是那些具有文化独特性的隐喻,它们源于特殊的民族神话传统、政治历史、文学作品等文化体系,因而是不可重复的。本文通过对中国吉祥文化的剖析,揭示隐喻使用背后的集体价值取向。 Based on the metaphorical two-handle multilateral theory of Qian Zhongshu, the late famous scholar in our country, this dissertation casts doubt on the prevailing cognitive metaphor theory and illustrates the close relationship between metaphor and culture through a large number of example sentences. What best describes the problem is those culturally unique metaphors that originate from special nationalist mythological traditions, political histories, literary works and other cultural systems and are therefore not repeatable. Through the analysis of auspicious Chinese culture, this article reveals the collective value orientation behind the use of metaphor.
