Fish作为海洋生态文化中出现频率最高的词 语，常通过隐喻被转为其他语义。
For example： a cold fish (冷漠的人) a loose fish (放荡不羁的家伙) a poor fish (愚蠢而又可怜的家伙) a queer fish (古怪的家伙) a shy fish (害羞的人)
可见一个英语生物词语一旦被隐喻化，它造 成认知和翻译障碍的可能性就成倍增加。
由fish参与构成的动词性成语或句子亦很多，如：to
be like a fish out of water (处于逆境)，to cry stinking fish (自揭家丑)，to drink like a fish (牛饮)， to feed the fishes (晕船)，to throw a sprat to catch a whale (四两拨千斤)。Never fry a fish till it‘s caught. (别操之过急)。If you swear you will catch no fish. (发誓赌咒，与事无补)。It is a silly fish that is caught twice with the same bait. (聪明人不上两回
当世界上千百万人观看这艘沉没巨轮的录象 和照片时，他们都会感觉到它的巨大、它的 沉寂以及它昔日的辉煌。
试设想，若离开语境，也不知 “泰坦尼克” 号及其沉没事件的海洋历史，上述译文将从 何而来呢？

西方人也常用其他生物名称作比喻并构成成语或谚 语。如：mosquito boat (鱼雷快艇), baby flattop (护 卫航空母舰)，old whale (老水手)，a whale of a difference (天壤之别)，the big sharks (垄断资本家)， a shark at bridge (桥牌高手)，to shark up money (骗 取钱财)等。

英国著名诗人雪莱在Ode to the West Wind（《西风 颂》）里赞颂西风是：“thou breath of Autumn’s being”, “drive my dead thoughts, to quicken a new birth”, “The trumpet of a prophecy! If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”英国地处北温带，
属海洋性气候。西风给英国带来的是温暖、湿润的
春天气息，而没有汉语“西风”含有的“萧瑟、凛
