摘　　要：隐喻是一种认知模式,与人类的思维和经验有着密不可分的关系。由于人们生活经验的相似性,不同的语言存在相似的概念隐喻,但由于受到特定的地理和社会环境的影响,不同语言的隐喻又体现出自身的民族特色。文章从对英汉本体隐喻、方向隐喻和结构隐喻中的一些概念隐喻进行对比研究,来分析地理和社会环境对语言的影响。Metaphor is a cognitive model, which is related to the thinking and experience. The similar life experience results in similar conceptual metaphors of different languages. But the metaphors of different languages also show their own national characteristics under the influence of the certain geography and society. The paper makes the comparative study on some of the structural metaphors, orientational metaphors and ontological metaphors of both English and Chinese as to find how the geography and society influence the language.
