【摘要】 Metonymy在汉语中有两种译法:一是"借代",二是"转喻、换喻"。本文用认知语言学的观点探讨metonymy的译法问题,认为metonymy有的有"喻",有的无"喻;"有的有指代性,有的无指代性。因此,metonymy有的可译为"借代",有的则可译为"转喻、换喻"。我们试图得出这样的结论:无"喻"有"代"的metonymy(如"The pot is boiling)"是"借代",有"喻"无"代"的metonymy(如"Mary is just a pretty face)"是"转喻",有"喻"又有"代"的metonymy(如"The crown has notwithheld its assent to a Bill since 1707.)"则译为"借代"或"转喻"皆可。此外,从原意、非原意无喻借代、非原意有喻转喻到隐喻,实际上是一个连续体,它们定义清楚,但边界模糊,有许多问题还值得进一步深入探讨。更多还原

【Abstract】 "Metonymy" is rendered into Chinese either as "jiedai"(借代),meaning "non-figurative referential metonymy",or "zhuanyu"(转喻) meaning "figurative(referential or non-referential)metonymy".In this paper,we shall discuss this issue from a cognitive linguistic view,and show that some metonymies are figurative,others are non-figurative;some are referential,others are non-referential.We are trying to find such a conclusion:non-figurative referential metonymies(e.g."The pot is boiling") can be translated as "jiedai",figurative non-referential metonymies(e.g."Mary is just a pretty face") can be translated as "zhuanyu",and figurative referential metonymies(e.g."The crown has not withheld its assent to a Bill since 1707.") can be translated as either "jiedai" or "zhuanyu".Literalness,non-literal non-figurative metonymy,non-literal figurative metonymy,and metaphor form a continuum,which is a complicated issue,since the definition is clear while their borders are fuzzy.更多还原
