摘　　要：概念隐喻理论的提出打破了传统修辞隐喻的研究局限,该理论认为隐喻不仅仅是一种单纯的语言现象,而且是人类思维的一个重要工具。情感是人类最重要、最普遍的人生体验,情感本身很抽象,所以人们常常借助于隐喻来表达。从概念隐喻理论的角度,采用语料分析的方法对英汉语中人类的四种基本情感("喜悦"、"愤怒"、"恐惧"和"悲伤")隐喻的认知构建进行探究具有重要意义。研究发现:英汉语中都存在把情感隐喻化为"天气"、"容器中的液体"、"颜色"和"空间方位"的语言现象,从而也进一步论证了隐喻是人类感知和概念客观世界诸种事物的一种重要的认知活动。The putting forward of Metaphorical Concepts Theory breaks the study limit of traditional rhetoric metaphor. In this theory,metaphor is not only considered as a language phenomenon, but an important tool of human thinking. Emotion is the most common and significant human experience, and itself is rather abstract,so it is often expressed via metaphor. It is of significance to explore the cognitive con- struction of four basic English and Chinese emotion metaphors （including happiness, anger, fear and sad- ness metaphors） from the perspective of metaphorical concepts theory and by means of corpus analysis. The study finds that emotion is often metaphorized as ＂weather＂, ＂fluid in the container＂, ＂color＂ and ＂space＂ in both English and Chinese. It further proves that as an important cognitive human activity metaphor plays an important role in experiencing and conceptualizing all the things in the world.
