摘　　要：本文参照Fraser(1979)的隐喻解释结果分析方法,依据905语义属性分类标准体系,对174名英语专业大学生新奇隐喻的解释结果进行了研究。结果表明:1)英语专业大学生具有一定的目的语新奇隐喻的解释能力,解释结果具有明显的范畴化特征;2)隐喻解释对"认知体验"的依赖性明显高于对"语言水平"的依赖性;3)目的语抽象名词的概念习得水平对被试隐喻解释具有一定影响。本研究结果并不支持普遍认为的"中国英语学习者隐喻能力较低"的结论。隐喻能力在本质上应该是认知性的,而不是语言性的。By adopting 905 Semantic System, this research applied the metaphor interpretation analysis method used by Fraser（1979） and aimed to investigate the novel meta- phor interpretation results of 174 English majors. The re- suits indicated：1）English majors demonstrated some com- petence of interpreting novel metaphors in English,and in- terpretation results had obvious feature of categorization; 2） learners relied more on ＂cognitive experience＂ in meta- phor interpretation than on ＂language proficiency＂ ; 3 ） The concept acquisition level of abstract nouns in target lan- guage might have some influences on the metaphor inter- pretation results. The results of this research go against the commonly-held opinion that ＂the metaphorical competence of Chinese English learners is low＂. Metaphorical compe- tence is coznitive in nature rather than lin^uistic.
