| Abstract: | Metaphor is a common linguistic phenomenon and always realizes its value within a certain context.Metaphor uses words to indicate something different from their literal meaning—one thing is described in terms of another so as to suggest a likeness or analogy between them.A metaphor can easily be seen as a bridge which links and comprises the known and the unknown,the familiar and the unfamiliar.Some people hold that metaphor tends to be seen as a way of coloring the ordinary plain language.Meanwhile some people think that metaphor is regarded as a way of experiencing the world.An analysis on English and Chinese metaphor translation will help to strengthen our understanding of different languages as well as different cultures.This paper focuses on the structure and features of metaphor,correspondences and several techniques in metaphor translation. |
