Abstract

The understanding of a metaphor is determined in a specific context. In actual translation, translators devote considerable amount of work to determining specific meanings of metaphors in light of the context. This paper attempts to state the understanding of metaphors in a specific context and put forward the translation techniques of metaphors in a specific context.
