摘　　要：隐喻是人类组织概念系统的重要基础,隐喻性特征广泛存在于英汉谚语中,常见的显性隐喻和隐性隐喻、根隐喻和派生隐喻以及陈旧隐喻和创新隐喻在诸多谚语中都能找到例证。谚语的语义特征如矛盾性、临时性、程度性和回复性本质上也是隐喻性的,特别是英汉谚语中的程度性和回复性在文学作品和商业文本中的具体应用尤其值得我们关注。Conceptual metaphor is the core concept of human cognitive ability which plays a critical role in man＇s thinking pattern and language expression. Metaphorical mechanism prevail in English and Chinese proverbs, typified by the similies and metaphors, radical metaphors and derivative metaphors, dead metaphors and creative metaphors. Semantic features of proverbs as contradiction, spontaneity, gradability and survivablity are essentially metaphorical.
