摘　　要：习语是蕴涵丰富内涵的语言精华,其中包含着大量的隐喻。随着认知语言学的深入发展,人们对习语的研究也逐步从附属于语言外部的修辞功能向内嵌于人类思维的认知功能发展。La-koff提出概念隐喻是人类的一种认知现象,应该用语言之外的因素解释语言的内部结构,这是认知隐喻理论研究的重要组成部分。通过运用认知语言学的相关理论,深入分析英语习语中隐喻语义生成的幕后心理认知机制,认为从心理认知过程分析习语中的隐喻既符合语言发展的客观规律,又有助于对英语习语的深入理解和灵活应用。Idioms are the cream of language with rich culture connotation,in which colloquial metaphors often exist.With the development of cognitive linguistics,the study of idioms converts from the traditional figurative function to cognitive function.The conceptual metaphor presented by Lakoff is the important part of cognitive metaphor theory,which claims that the factors outside the language should be used to explain the inner structure of the language.Through the analysis of related theories of cognitive linguistics,the cognitive mechanism of metaphor in English idioms is illustrated.It turns out that the cognitive analysis of metaphor in idioms not only accords with the law of language development but also helps to understand and apply the idioms correctly.
