内容介绍

《我们赖以生存的隐喻》（Metaphors We Live By）这本经典著作改变了我们对隐喻及其在语言和思维中的作用的理解。

作者解释说，隐喻是心智的一种基本机制，它使我们能够利用我们对身体和社会经验的了解来理解无数其他主题。

因为这些隐喻构建了我们对自身经验最基本的理解，所以它们是 “我们赖以生存的隐喻”--隐喻可以在我们不经意间影响我们的认知和行为。

在这本拉科夫和约翰逊颇具影响力的著作的更新版中，作者提供了一篇后记，

回顾了他们的隐喻理论是如何在认知科学领域发展成为当代理解我们如何思考以及如何用语言表达我们的思想的核心。

The now-classic Metaphors We Live By changed our understanding of metaphor and its role in language and the mind. Metaphor, the authors explain, is a fundamental mechanism of mind, one that allows us to use what we know about our physical and social experience to provide understanding of countless other subjects. Because such metaphors structure our most basic understandings of our experience, they are "metaphors we live by"—metaphors that can shape our perceptions and actions without our ever noticing them.

In this updated edition of Lakoff and Johnson's influential book, the authors supply an afterword surveying how their theory of metaphor has developed within the cognitive sciences to become central to the contemporary understanding of how we think and how we express our thoughts in language.
