英语辞格Metonymy汉语译名审视

Comments on the Translation of "Metonymy"

通过举例、对比和分析,从两个方面——概念和联想机制,考察了英语辞格metonymy与英汉辞格"比喻"的不同以及与汉语辞格"借代"的相似,提出了英语辞格metonymy译为"借代"可能更为恰当。

Through exemplification, contrast, and analysis, the paper attempts to study the differences between English metonymy and English ＆ Chinese figures of speech , and similarities between English metonymy and Chinese ＂Jie Dai＂ from two aspects-- the concept and association mechanics. It puts forward that it may be more appropriate to translate English metonymy to Chinese ＂Jie Dai＂.
