Metaphor comes as a result of image schema mapping both in the target conceptual domain and the source conceptual domain.

隐喻是目标概念域和始源概念域中两个相同意象和意象图式互相映射的结果。

This article proposes that metaphor and metonymy should be considered as "activation of target domain by source domain" rather than "mapping or projection".

本文认为无论隐喻、转喻，不宜认为“是一个认知域映射另一个认知域”的问题，而宜假设为“一个认知域激活另一个认知域”。

Conceptual metaphor is a mental construct mapping from a concrete source domain onto a target domain (which is often abstract) for the purpose of understanding the target domain.

概念隐喻是一种心理建构映射，这种映射往往是从一个具体的源域投射到一个抽象的目的域，以认知该目的域。
