摘　　要：Metaphors have different expressions in cognitive and systematic-functional linguistics, which are conceptual metaphors and ideational metaphors. Conceptual metaphors belong to traditional vocabulary metaphors, and ideational grammatical metaphors are pointed out by Halliday--the main representative of systemic-functional theory. This paper elaborates on the specific grammatical feature of EST （English for Science and Technology） text--＂nominalization of processes＂ to reveal the source of ideational metaphors. From the analysis of some examples, it is found that nominalization as a grammatical metaphor expresses the transference between process types, so it reveals the essence of ideational grammatical metaphors. Meanwhile, the comparison made between grammatical metaphors and vocabulary metaphors reflects the similarities between conceptual metaphors and ideational metaphors. In this way, this paper comes to the conclusion that the combination of the study methods of metaphors from both cognitive and systemic-functional perspectives is the best way to uncover the basic characteristic of human thinking.在认知和系统功能语言学中概念隐喻有着不同的表达形式和理解。认知语言学中的概念隐喻是从认知的角度柬研究词汇隧喻的本质，而系统功能语言学中的概念隐喻是指此学派的代表人物Halliday提出的概念语法隐喻。本文通过封科技语篇中典型的过程名物化的详尽分析来达到揭示语法隐喻来源的目的。Halliday的概念功能理论揭示了名物化的实质，它是一种过程的名物化，是语法隐喻的主要手段。与此同时，通过词汇隐喻和语法隐喻的比较分析，我们看到两种概念隐喻研究的相似点，从而得出结合两种视角对隐喻的研究是揭示人类思维基本特征的最好方法。
