【摘要】 现代汉语中"前""后"是既可以表示空间意义又可以表示时间意义的语素。汉英两种语言中表达时间概念的"前"和"后"并非一一对应,"前"和"后"表示"未来"还是"过去"的差异主要基于"时间在动"和"自我在动"两种隐喻系统。在对外汉语教学实践中,借助汉英认知隐喻对比的教学策略有助于以英语为母语的留学生对"前"和"后"表达时间概念的认知理解,从而避免"前/后"所构成的时间词语出现歧义现象。更多还原

【Abstract】 In modern Chinese language, "Qian"and "Hou" can be used in spatial system as well as in temporal system. The Chinese words "Qian"and "Hou" in temporal system are not absolutely correspondent with "before" and "after" in English.In temporal system, whether "Qian" and "Hou"indicate "past" or "future" is based on either the timemoving metaphor system or the ego-moving metaphor system. In TCFL teaching, an introduction of cognitive metaphor and a contrastive study of "Qian/Hou"and "before/after" are of help to students who learn Chinese as a foreign language to avoid ambiguity in understanding the terms.更多还原
