摘　　要：传统上,X is Y形式的隐喻被当作是隐性的比较.Glucksberg和Keysar的特征赋予模型主张隐喻理解是按照隐喻句表面形式理解的.本体X被归于一个以喻体命名的上级概念Y,而喻体Y的特征被赋予本体X。本文讨论隐喻的比较模型为何未能解释一些重要的隐喻现象,而特征赋予模型则能很好地解释。Traditionally,metaphors of the form X is a Y have been treated as implicit comparisons. The property attribution model argues that metaphors are understood as what it appears to be： a category-inclusion assertion in which the topic X is assigned to a superordinate category that is named Y and properties of the vehicle Y are attributed to the topic X. The paper discusses how treating metaphors as comparison statements fails to account for certain important phenomena, which we show can be dealt with successfully by the property attribution model.
