摘　　要：隐喻是一种语用现象。从语用学角度来解读隐喻的首要任务是研究如何辨认和理解隐喻这种语言现象。读者对隐喻的辨认很多时候是在潜意识中完成,但这种辨认过程依赖于以下四种方法:观察隐喻信号;判断隐喻的始发域和目标域;串联隐喻的连贯网络;体会使用隐喻的意图。隐喻只有在一定的语境里才能成其为隐喻,因此对隐喻的理解首先依赖于一定的语境。语境不仅对隐喻意义的推断起着重要作用,而且语境所提供的信息量对隐喻的理解过程也会产生影响。The primary task of the pragmatic interpretation of the metaphor is to study how to identify and how to interpret metaphor. Generally speaking, readers identify the metaphor unconsciously, but the process of this identification relies on the following four methods: observing the metaphor signal; analyzing the source domain and the target domain of the metaphor; identifying the coherent net of the metaphor, realizing the speaker's intention of using the metaphor. The interpretation of the metaphor relies much on it's contexts. The quantity of the information that the contexts provide has great influence on the process of the metaphor interpretation.
