摘　　要：吴承恩在《西游记》中对"大"的使用,并非完全基于经验参照的"大"的"有限"性,更多的是基于原始认知的"无限"性与艺术创作的"变型"性。"大"的"无限"与"变型"的隐喻功能,反映了人类对非现实世界的好奇与探索,显示着人类缘于神话与童话的艺术气质;而"大"在现实中的"无用"的隐喻义,则启示人们对现实与人性中的种种缺陷,做出理性的思考,并由此管窥"大"与"小"所构成的人类赖以生存的自然环境与人文环境的真实状态。The use of images concerning with ＂big＂ by the novelist Wu Cheng＇en in A Journey to the West is not confined to the finity of ＂being big＂ in actual life experience. Instead, it is more often than not based on the ＂infinity＂ in primitive cognition and the ＂diversity＂ of artistic writing. The metaphoric functions of ＂big＂ as ＂infinity＂ and ＂diversity＂ reflect human beings＇ curiosity about the imaginary world and their artistic habitude originating from myth and fairy tales. However, the metaphoric meaning of ＂big＂ as ＂being of no use＂ reflects man＇s rational pondering over the limitation of humanity in real life. （）n such a basis, we can get to know the real situation about the natural environment where man lives, composed by what- ever is big and small.
