本文通过对英汉经济报道语篇中大量实例的分析,总结归纳对比了常见的四种事件结构隐喻。这些隐喻概念的运用一方面说明了隐喻认知的普遍性和各民族认知间存有的共性,同时我们也看到,受自身民族社会文化等因素的影响,隐喻概念系统的运作中也有一定的跨文化的差异。 Through analyzing a large number of examples in the discourse of English-Chinese economic reports, this article summarizes and compares the common four kinds of event structure metaphors. The use of these metaphorical concepts on the one hand illustrates the universality of metaphor cognition and the commonalities existing among the various national cognitions, and at the same time, we also see that there is a certain role in the operation of the conceptual metaphor system under the influence of the factors such as the culture of one’s own society, Cross-cultural differences.
