英语比喻的美感及其在翻译时的再现

Aesthetic Value of English Metaphors and Its Convayance in Translation

比喻是创造语言美的重要修辞手段，它产生于人类的语言审美活动并时时表现在语言使用的过程之中。比喻的使用体现了语言的美学功能和信息功能的结合。英汉比喻既有共性又有差异，只有采取多种方法，去异求同，才能使英语比喻的美感因素在翻译中对等再现。

Metaphor,which originated in human beings′activities of appreciating the beautiful and finds expression in the whole process of language use, is a very important figure of speech in creating aesthetic value. The use of metaphors embodies the combination of the function of aesthetics and that of information. English metaphors are as different from as they are the same. Only by using different methods so as to seek the common while reserving differences can the aesthetic factors be conveyed correspondingly in translation.
