摘　　要：Charteris-Black (2004)认为可以从隐喻识别、隐喻描述、隐喻阐释三个方面对隐喻进行批判研究。此外,Charteris-Black (2005)还强调了隐喻的劝说功能。本研究将基于概念隐喻理论和批评隐喻分析,聚焦于著名社会活动家马丁路德金的演讲《I Have a Dream》,使用定量和定性研究的方法分析马丁路德金使用了哪些隐喻关键词,形成了哪些概念隐喻,并分析其如何运用这些概念隐喻达到劝说功能。研究发现,马丁路德金在此演讲中主要使用一系列隐喻关键词,形成了旅程隐喻、银行隐喻、罪犯隐喻、建筑隐喻和声音隐喻,这些隐喻激励了黑人同胞和白人同胞为消灭种族歧视而奋斗,并督促美国政府采取积极措施推进种族平等。Charteris-Black (2004) argues that Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) involves three stages, that is, metaphor identification, metaphor interpretation, and metaphor explanation. Furthermore, Charteris-Black (2005) emphasizes the persuasive function of metaphor. This study, grounded in Conceptual Metaphor Theory and CMA, focuses on the famous speech I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King Jr. This study employs both quantitative and qualitative research methods to analyze what metaphorical keywords Martin Luther King used, what conceptual metaphors he formed, and how he used these conceptual metaphors to achieve the persuasive function. The findings reveal that a series of metaphors of journeys, banks, criminals, buildings, and voices are involved in this speech. These metaphors inspired both African American and white Americans to strive for the elimination of racial discrimination and urged the US government to take proactive measures to promote racial equality.
