摘　　要：本文力图运用认知隐喻理论解读曹禺名剧《北京人》。其中,"上"与"下"构成的垂直隐喻建构一个和谐的隐喻体系,形成强大的评价功能,为我们解读该剧提供重要的认知参照。在它们构筑的时间、数量、状态、等级、方所以及距离等隐喻域中,"上"基本表示积极正面,"下"代表消极负面因素。该剧尽管"上"的原型用法多于"下",但"下"的隐喻性用法却两倍于"上",这意味着在曹禺建构的文本世界中,负面因素超过正面因素,也与该剧压抑、绝望的主题一致。This is an attempt of evaluating modern Chinese drama Native Beijing within the framework of cognitive metaphor.The vertical metaphor composed by SHANG and XIA forms a coherent system and assumes evaluating functions,which are insightful in understanding the literary effects of the play.In their various mapped domains,SHANG stands for positive elements,while XIA for negative ones.The amount of the prototype model of SHANG is more than that of XIA,whereas,the number of the metaphorical extended model of XIA doubles that of SHANG,this implies negative effects prevail in the play,and this is in accordance with the literary meaning of the play.
