1a. The government still hopes to stem the tide of inflation.(隐喻)
b. To resist the force is to stem the tide.(集约型关系过程)
2a. Keep your eyes on the ball.(转喻)
b. The gaze is (directed) from the eye.(环境型关系过程)
3a. At this point the strings take over.(举喻)
b. Violins have/contain strings.(所有型关系过程)
以上各个例句表明,像“to stem the tide”,“keep your eyes”和“the strings”都是各种关系过程的转喻。也就是说,1a、2a和3a的斜体部分都是喻体,1b、2b和3b说明这些表达式如何转成隐喻。
