Abstract

Since metaphor cognition was put forward officially from 1980, it has been widely applied in many research fields including the translation of metaphor. Metaphor cognition study opens a new window for metaphor translation and scholars stride to find a balance between cognition equivalence and language equivalence in metaphor translation. From the last decade of 20th century, CRH (China Railway High-Speed) has gained rapid development and attracted world attention with great achievements. There appeared a number of CRH reports and publications withvariousCRH metaphors creation, which has already formed one important part of CRH culture. In order to better promote the CRH culture, the paper explores CRH metaphor translation from the angle of metaphor cognition based on the CRH metaphors in two CRH books under the guidance of Kövecses’s metaphor cognition equivalence translation strategy with detailed effective metaphor translation methods.
