摘　　要：文章以概念隐喻理论、架构理论和美国两党道德模式为框架,选取2012年美国首场总统竞选辩论中奥巴马和罗姆尼有关经济议题的辩论文本为语料,考察了其中的概念隐喻并对比分析了同一概念隐喻背后不同的架构。研究表明:奥巴马和罗姆尼均使用"发展经济是旅程"和"国家预算是家庭预算"的概念隐喻来建构美国经济现实,表述各自经济政策,合法化自身和非法化对手以达到劝说美国民众的目的;"旅程"隐喻中奥巴马的国家支持教育和培训架构、增税架构源于"慈父"模式及"关爱、责任"等核心价值观,罗姆尼的个人自谋出路获取培训架构、减税架构受"严父"模式、奖惩道德和"自律、独立"价值观的影响。Based on the scripts of the debates on economic issues in the first US presidential election debates between Obama and Romney in 2012,this article explores,within the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory,Framing theory and the morality models of the American Republican Party and Democratic Party,the conceptual metaphors in the debates and makes a contrastive analysis of the underlying frames in the same conceptual metaphors. It is found that both Obama and Romney employ DEVELOPING ECONOMY IS A JOURNEY and NATIOANL BUDGET IS FAMILY BUDGET metaphors to construct the economic reality in America,present their policies,legitimize themselves and delegitimize their opponents for the purpose of persuading the public. While Obama's frames of supporting education and training nationally and increasing tax derive from the Nurturant Parent Model and its core values of'affection'and'responsibility',Romney's frames of creating individual pathways to get training and decreasing tax originate from the Strict Father Model,Morality of Reward and Punishment and the values of 'self- discipline'and 'independence'.
