摘要(Abstract):
隐喻能力是学习者迅速正确地理解隐喻所包含的信息并准确恰当地运用隐喻的能力。作为语言能力的一个有机成分,隐喻能力的培养是外语教学中一个不可或缺的环节。在英语课堂教学中,进行中英文隐喻的异同分析有助于学习者对语言形式之下的隐喻思维的了解,尤其是词汇、篇章、文化、口语和写作等环节的教学都应穿插对隐喻的理解和运用,而隐喻能力的培养又有助于学习者语言能力的提高。
Metaphor is both a phenomenon of language and of thought. Metaphoric competence, a component of language competence, is essential for the acquisition of a language. Difficulties in Metaphor comprehension and production lie in the fact that metaphors are culture-specific, manipulative and subjective. A comparative analysis of metaphors in English and Chinese will make Chinese learners aware of the linguistic and conceptual differences and similarities. In explicit classroom teaching, the process of vocabulary instruction, context analysis, culture teaching, speaking and writing practising is interactive with the cultivation of metaphoric competence.
