Abstract

Metaphor is a synthesis combined with form, meaning, pragmatic function and personality emotion, instead of a simple form. The correct understanding of a novel metaphor is partially determined by the expected mastery of cultural knowledge. This paper mainly explores the definition of metaphor, classification, interpretation and implication in language teaching.
