浅谈英语修辞格明喻Simile和暗喻Metaphor

英语修辞格如同汉语修辞格一样,起着美化、深化语言的作用,使所描述刻划的事物更生动、更形象、更加淋漓尽致.例如:On a fine night,stars shinebrightly in the sky.这里,语言平易,意义肤浅.如果此句改为On a fine night stars twinkle like dia-monds in the sky.语言就更优美更生动了.同样,Imperialism is a paper tiger.比普通的Im-perialim appears to be strong,but it is weak inward-ly.要有力得多,而又不失生动性和幽默性.like diamonds和paper tiper就是英语的比喻,英语修辞格的明喻和暗喻.英语修辞格即英语比喻的方式多种多样,不乏例举.我们要谈论的是两种最简单、最常用,频频出现于我们教科书中的修辞格明喻Simile和暗喻Metaphor.我们先来弄清什么是英语的Simile.Simile是一种比较,一种两个不同事物间的比较,而且是一种实事求是的、直接了当的比较.它的基本格式是“甲事物象乙事物”,常常用like(象),as(如),seem(看起来好象),as if(似乎),as though(仿佛),as…so…(象……)和 as it were(就好象是……)等这些比喻词来连接甲事物和乙事物,即连接比喻和被比喻的事物.例如:

Emotion,Metaphor and Translation: A Case Study on the English Version of A Dream of Red Mansions

Emotional metaphors abound in the original works and translations of A Dream of Red Mansions. Based on statistical analysis,a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods are utilized from the perspective of cognitive linguistics to study the emotional metaphors appearing in the first 50 chapters of the novel and their corresponding English translations by Hawkes and the Yang couple.To generalize rules in the translation of emotional metaphors,the emotional metaphor of “Qi” is taken as an example by calculating the ratios of each kind of emotional metaphors and the frequencies of translation methods adopted.The findings suggest that when translating emotional metaphors,translators have selected their strategies from cognitive perspectives to achieve equivalence between the source language and the target language despite some challenges and restrictions.It is thus concluded that the emotional metaphor in the novel cannot be translated directly but can be approached through selection of appropriate translation methods including meaning transfer,meaning deviation and metaphor omission.
