Part one provides a brief introduction to the main traditional theories and the contemporary cognitive theory of metaphor, and presents the research background and research motives of the current color metaphor study. Based on the analysis, part two probes closely into the similarity and dissimilarity of color metaphor in English and Chinese, and discusses possible reasons for the same and different color metaphors in English and Chinese from the perspective of cognition and culture. Through a comparative study of color metaphor in English and Chinese part three verifies the existence of similarity and dissimilarity translation of cross-culture metaphor due to the common cognitive basis and cultural variation.

摘  要

2000多年前对隐喻的研究就是1件很有争议的事情。因此在隐喻的概念，特征及原理方面，各种各样的研究层出不穷。本通过对比探讨了颜色词在英汉两种语言中的不同及相同的内涵和隐喻意义，这在某种程度上能够促进跨文化交流。本分为3个部分：第1部分对传统隐喻及现代隐喻理论知识进行介绍的同时指出现代颜色隐喻的研究背景及目的；第2部分详细陈述了英汉颜色隐喻的相同及不同之处，并从英汉民族的认知及文化领域，讨论了两个民族颜色隐喻方面相似或不同现象的可能原因；第3部分通过英汉颜色隐喻的对比研究，证明了在相同的认知及多元的文化背景下，跨文化交际中在翻译中存在的对等及不对等现象。
