摘要
英语在描述各种事物的量时,常需借助于表量结构“Num+N1+of+N2”。N1是表份的单位名词(unit noun),作为计量单位和数词、介词”of”一起构成数量语块对N2进行量的描述。英语表量结构还常常隐含着比喻。文章根据现代隐喻理论区分两种类型的隐喻表达,并讨论其认知基础、功能作用和修辞特点等。
In English, the structure ＂Num＋ N1 ＋ of＋ N2＂ is often used in the quantitative description of different things. N2 refers to the thing being measured, and N1 is the noun used as measure unit. This paper mainly distinguishes two types of metaphors in the construefion, and discusses their different functions, rhetorical effects in quantitative descriptions.
