An Analysis on the English-Chinese Translation of Metaphor from the cultural perspective
I. Introduction
According to the contemporary views of metaphor, it functions not only as a figure of speech, but also as a cognitive device. Metaphor is a conceptual system to recognize new thing and understand an object thoroughly. From this respect, metaphor has become a necessary way to know the world. From this point, it is important to deal with the translation of metaphor. What’s more metaphor is influenced by cultural factors which deepen the difficulty of metaphor translation. It is certain to say that metaphor has become a study object of multidiscipline, and that people are more and more aware of the role played by metaphors in our daily life. So, we need to study on the translation of metaphor from the cultural perspective.
First, the paper focuses on the features of metaphor, the close relationship between metaphor and culture, and analyzes the influences of cultural elements on metaphor. Since these culture elements come down to every part of society, so translators should make more researches and translate them in a correct way. 文化视角下隐喻的英汉翻译探析:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_25353.html
