各种比喻表达往往可以追溯到一个共同的隐喻主题或源域。本文报道了三个EFL实验，表明词汇组织沿着这样的隐喻主题或源域可以促进不熟悉的比喻表达的保留。鉴于这些发现，本文提出了旨在提高语言学习者隐喻意识的课堂活动，并将其转化为词汇习得的一个额外渠道。
Various figurative expressions can often be traced back to a common metaphoric theme or source domain. The present article reports three EFL experiments which indicate that a lexical organization along such metaphoric themes or source domains can facilitate retention of unfamiliar figurative expressions. In view of these findings, the article proposes classroom activities aimed at enhancing language learners' metaphor awareness and at turning: this into an additional channel for vocabulary acquisition.
