The_last_leaf(最后一片叶子)
Many artists lived in the Greenwich Village area of New York. Two young women named Sue and Johnsy shared a studio apartment at the top of a three-story building. Johnsy's real name was Joanna.In November, a cold, unseen stranger came to visit the city. This disease, pneumonia, killed many people. Johnsy lay on her bed, hardly moving. She looked through the small window. She could see the side of the brick house next to her building.One morning, a doctor examined Johnsy and took her temperature. Then he spoke with Sue in another room."She has one chance in -- let us say ten," he said. "And that chance is for her to want to live. Your friend has made up her mind that she is not going to get well. Has she anything on her mind?""She -- she wanted to paint the Bay of Naples in Italy some day," said Sue."Paint?" said the doctor. "Bosh! Has she anything on her mind worth thinking twice -- a man for example?""A man?" said Sue. "Is a man worth -- but, no, doctor; there is nothing of the kind.""I will do all that science can do," said the doctor. "But whenever my patient begins to count the carriages at her funeral, I take away fifty percent from the curative power of medicines."After the doctor had gone, Sue went into the workroom and cried. Then she went to Johnsy's room with her drawing board, whistling ragtime.Johnsy lay with her face toward the window. Sue stopped whistling, thinking she was asleep. She began making a pen and ink drawing for a story in a magazine. Young artists must work their way to "Art" by making pictures for magazine stories. Sue heard a low sound, several times repeated. She went quickly to the bedside.Johnsy's eyes were open wide. She was looking out the window and counting -- counting backward. "Twelve," she said, and a little later "eleven"; and then "ten" and "nine;" and then "eight" and "seven," almost together.Sue looked out the window. What was there to count? There was only an empty yard and the blank side of the house seven meters away. An oldivy vine, going bad at the roots, climbed half way up the wall. The cold breath of autumn had stricken leaves from the plant until its branches, almost bare, hung on the bricks."What is it, dear?" asked Sue."Six," said Johnsy, quietly. "They're falling faster now. Three days ago there were almost a hundred. It made my head hurt to count them. But now it's easy. There goes another one. There are only five left now.""Five what, dear?" asked Sue."Leaves. On the plant. When the last one falls I must go, too. I've known that for three days. Didn't the doctor tell you?""Oh, I never heard of such a thing," said Sue. "What have old ivy leaves to do with your getting well? And you used to love that vine. Don't be silly. Why, the doctor told me this morning that your chances for getting well real soon were -- let's see exactly what he said ¨C he said the chances were ten to one! Try to eat some soup now. And, let me go back to my drawing, so I can sell it to the magazine and buy food and wine for us.""You needn't get any more wine," said Johnsy, keeping her eyes fixed out the window. "There goes another one. No, I don't want any soup. That leaves just four. I want to see the last one fall before it gets dark. Then I'll go, too.""Johnsy, dear," said Sue, "will you promise me to keep your eyes closed, and not look out the window until I am done working? I must hand those drawings in by tomorrow.""Tell me as soon as you have finished," said Johnsy, closing her eyes and lying white and still as a fallen statue. "I want to see the last one fall. I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of thinking. I want to turn loose my hold on everything, and go sailing down, down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves.""Try to sleep," said Sue. "I must call Mister Behrman up to be my model for my drawing of an old miner. Don't try to move until I come back."Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor of the apartment building. Behrman was a failure in art. For years, he had always beenplanning to paint a work of art, but had never yet begun it.He earned a little money by serving as a model to artists who could not pay for a professional model. He was a fierce, little, old man who protected the two young women in the studio apartment above him.Sue found Behrman in his room. In one area was a blank canvas that had been waiting twenty-five years for the first line of paint. Sue told him about Johnsy and how she feared that her friend would float away like a leaf.Old Behrman was angered at such an idea. "Are there people in the world with the foolishness to die because leaves drop off a vine? Why do you let that silly business come in her brain?""She is very sick and weak," said Sue, "and the disease has left her mind full of strange ideas.""This is not any place in which one so good as Miss Johnsy shall lie sick," yelled Behrman. "Some day I will paint a masterpiece, and we shall all go away."Johnsy was sleeping when they went upstairs. Sue pulled the shade down to cover the window. She and Behrman went into the other room. They looked out a window fearfully at the ivy vine. Then they looked at each other without speaking. A cold rain was falling, mixed with snow.Behrman sat and posed as the miner.The next morning, Sue awoke after an hour's sleep. She found Johnsy with wide-open eyes staring at the covered window."Pull up the shade; I want to see," she ordered, quietly.Sue obeyed.After the beating rain and fierce wind that blew through the night, there yet stood against the wall one ivy leaf. It was the last one on the vine. It was still dark green at the center. But its edges were colored with the yellow. It hung bravely from the branch about seven meters above the ground."It is the last one," said Johnsy. "I thought it would surely fall during the night. I heard the wind. It will fall today and I shall die at the same time.""Dear, dear!" said Sue, leaning her worn face down toward the bed. "Think of me, if you won't think of yourself. What would I do?"But Johnsy did not answer.The next morning, when it was light, Johnsy demanded that the window shade be raised. The ivy leaf was still there. Johnsy lay for a long time, looking at it. And then she called to Sue, who was preparing chicken soup."I've been a bad girl," said Johnsy. "Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me how bad I was. It is wrong to want to die. You may bring me a little soup now."An hour later she said: "Someday I hope to paint the Bay of Naples."Later in the day, the doctor came, and Sue talked to him in the hallway."Even chances," said the doctor. "With good care, you'll win. And now I must see another case I have in your building. Behrman, his name is -- some kind of an artist, I believe. Pneumonia, too. He is an old, weak man and his case is severe. There is no hope for him; but he goes to the hospital today to ease his pain."The next day, the doctor said to Sue: "She's out of danger. You won. Nutrition and care now -- that's all."Later that day, Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay, and put one arm around her."I have something to tell you, white mouse," she said. "Mister Behrman died of pneumonia today in the hospital. He was sick only two days. They found him the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpless with pain. His shoes and clothing were completely wet and icy cold. They could not imagine where he had been on such a terrible night.And then they found a lantern, still lighted. And they found a ladder that had been moved from its place. And art supplies and a painting board with green and yellow colors mixed on it.And look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn't you wonder why it never moved when the wind blew? Ah, darling, it is Behrman's masterpiece ¨C he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell."。

The last leaf(最后一片树叶)
The last leafIn a little district west of Washington Square the streets have run crazy and broken themselves into small strips called "places." These "places" make strange angles and curves. One Street crosses itself a time or two. An artist once discovered a valuable possibility in this street. Suppose a collector with a bill for paints, paper and canvas should, in traversing this route, suddenly meet himself coming back, without a cent having been paid on account!So, to quaint old Greenwich Village the art people soon came prowling(徘徊,搜寻), hunting for north windows and eighteenth-century gables and Dutch attics and low rents. Then they imported some pewter mugs and a chafing dish or two from Sixth Avenue, and became a "colony."At the top of a squatty(矮胖的), three-story brick Sue and Johnsy had their studio. "Johnsy" was familiar for Joanna. One was from Maine; the other from California. They had met at the table d'hô te of an Eighth Street "Delmonico's," and found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so congenial(意气相投的;性格相似的) that the joint studio resulted.That was in May. In November a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia(肺炎), stalked(蔓延)about the colony, touching one here and there with his icy fingers. Over on the east side this ravager strode boldly, smiting(重击)his victims by scores, but his feet trod(践踏)slowly through the maze(迷宫)of the narrow and moss-grown "places."Mr. Pneumonia was not what you would call a chivalric(骑士的;有武士气概的)old gentleman. A mite(极小量) of a little woman with blood thinned by California zephyrs was hardly fair game for the red-fisted, short-breathed old duffer. But Johnsy she smote; and she lay, scarcely moving, on her painted iron bedstead, looking through the small Dutch window-panes at the blank side of the next brick house.One morning the busy doctor invited Sue into the hallway with a shaggy (蓬松的), grey eyebrow."She has one chance in - let us say, ten," he said, as he shook down the mercury in his clinical thermometer. “And that chance is for her to want to live. This way people have of lining-u on the side of the undertaker makes the entire pharmacopoeia (药典,处方书;一批备用药品) look silly. Your little lady has made up her mind that she's not going to get well. Has she anything on her mind?""She - she wanted to paint the Bay of Naples some day." said Sue."Paint? - Bosh! Has she anything on her mind worth thinking twice - a man for instance?""A man?" said Sue, with a jew's-harp twang in her voice. "Is a man worth - but, no, doctor; there is nothing of the kind.""Well, it is the weakness, then," said the doctor. "I will do all that science, so far as it may filter through (滤过,渗透) my efforts, can accomplish. But whenever my patient begins to count the carriages in her funeral procession I subtract 50 per cent from the curative power of medicines. If you will get her to ask one question about the new winter styles in cloak sleeves I will promise you a one-in-five chance for her, instead of one in ten."After the doctor had gone Sue went into the workroom and cried a Japanese napkin to a pulp. Then she swaggered(大摇大摆,趾高气昂) into Johnsy's room with her drawing board, whistling ragtime.Johnsy lay, scarcely making a ripple under the bedclothes, with her face toward the window. Sue stopped whistling, thinking she was asleep.She arranged her board and began a pen-and-ink drawing to illustrate a magazine story. Young artists must pave their way to Art by drawing pictures for magazine stories that young authors write to pave their way to Literature.As Sue was sketching a pair of elegant horseshow riding trousers and a monocle of the figure of the hero, an Idaho cowboy, she heard a low sound, several times repeated. She went quickly to the bedside.Johnsy's eyes were open wide. She was looking out the window and counting - counting backward."Twelve," she said, and little later "eleven"; and then "ten," and "nine"; and then "eight" and "seven", almost together.Sue look solicitously (热心地,热切地) out of the window. What was there to count? There was only a bare, dreary yard to be seen, and the blank side of the brick house twenty feet away. An old, old ivy vine, gnarled (粗糙的) and decayed (腐烂的)at the roots, climbed half way up the brick wall. The cold breath of autumn had stricken its leaves from the vine until its skeleton branches clung (坚持(cling的过去分词);紧握;贴近), almost bare, to the crumbling bricks."What is it, dear?" asked Sue."Six," said Johnsy, in almost a whisper. "They're falling faster now. Three days ago there were almost a hundred. It made my head ache to count them. But now it's easy. There goes another one. There are only five left now.""Five what, dear? Tell your Sudie.""Leaves. On the ivy vine. When the last one falls I must go, too. I've known that for three days. Didn't the doctor tell you?""Oh,I never heard of such nonsense(胡说,废话)," complained Sue, with magnificent (高尚的;壮丽的)scorn. "What have old ivy leaves to do with your getting well? And you used to love that vine so, you naughty girl. Don't be a goosey. Why, the doctor told me this morning that your chances for getting well real soon were - let's see exactlywhat he said - he said the chances were ten to one! Why, that's almost as good a chance as we have in New York when we ride on the street cars or walk past a new building. Try to take some broth now, and let Sudie go back to her drawing, so she can sell the editor man with it, and buy port wine for her sick child, and pork chops for her greedy self.""You needn't get any more wine," said Johnsy, keeping her eyes fixed out the window. "There goes another. No, I don't want any broth. That leaves just four. I want to see the last one fall before it gets dark. Then I'll go, too.""Johnsy, dear," said Sue, bending over (侧身) her, "will you promise me to keep your eyes closed, and not look out the window until I am done working? I must hand those drawings in by to-morrow. I need the light, or I would draw the shade down.""Couldn't you draw in the other room?" asked Johnsy, coldly."I'd rather be here by you," said Sue. "Beside, I don't want you to keep looking at those silly ivy leaves.""Tell me as soon as you have finished," said Johnsy, closing her eyes, and lying white and still as fallen statue, "because I want to see the last one fall. I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of thinking. I want to turn loose my hold on everything, and go sailing down, down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves.""Try to sleep," said Sue. "I must call Behrman up to be my model for the old hermit miner. I'll not be gone a minute. Don't try to move 'til I come back."Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them. He was past sixty and had a Michael Angelo's Moses beard curling down from the head of a satyr along with the body of an imp (小鬼). Behrman was a failure in art. Forty years he had wielded the brush without getting near enough to touch the hem of his Mistress's robe. He had been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. For several years he had painted nothing except now and then a daub in the line of commerce or advertising. He earned a little by serving as a model to those young artists in the colony who could not pay the price of a professional. He drank gin to excess, and still talked of his coming masterpiece. For the rest he was a fierce little old man, who scoffed terribly at softness in any one, and who regarded himself as especial mastiff-in-waiting to protect the two young artists in the studio above.Sue found Behrman smelling strongly of juniper berries in his dimly lighted den below. In one corner was a blank canvas on an easel that had been waiting there for twenty-five years to receive the first line of the masterpiece. She told him of Johnsy's fancy, and how she feared she would, indeed, light and fragile as a leaf herself, float away, when her slight hold upon the world grew weaker.Old Behrman, with his red eyes plainly streaming, shouted his contempt and derision for such idiotic (白痴的;愚蠢的) imaginings."Vass!" he cried. "Is dere people in de world mit der foolishness to die because leafs dey drop off from a confounded vine? I haf not heard of such a thing. No, I will not boseas a model for your fool hermit-dunderhead. Vy do you allow dot silly pusiness to come in der brain of her? Ach, dot poor leetle Miss Johnsy.""She is very ill and weak," said Sue, "and the fever has left her mind morbid (病态的) and full of strange fancies. Very well, Mr. Behrman, if you do not care to pose for me, you needn't. But I think you are a horrid old - old flibbertigibbet (饶舌的人;轻浮的人;不负责任).""You are just like a woman!" yelled Behrman. "Who said I will not bose? Go on. I come mit you. For half an hour I haf peen trying to say dot I am ready to bose. Gott! Dis is not any blace in which one so goot as Miss Johnsy shall lie sick. Some day I will paint a masterpiece, and we shall all go away. Gott! Yes."Johnsy was sleeping when they went upstairs. Sue pulled the shade down to the window-sill, and motioned Behrman into the other room. In there they peered out the window fearfully at the ivy vine. Then they looked at each other for a moment without speaking. A persistent, cold rain was falling, mingled with snow. Behrman, in his old blue shirt, took his seat as the hermit miner on an upturned kettle for a rock.When Sue awoke from an hour's sleep the next morning she found Johnsy with dull, wide-open eyes staring at the drawn green shade."Pull it up; I want to see," she ordered, in a whisper.Wearily Sue obeyed.But, lo! After the beating rain and fierce gusts of wind that had endured through the livelong night, there yet stood out against the brick wall one ivy leaf. It was the last one on the vine. Still dark green near its stem, with its serrated edges tinted with the yellow of dissolution and decay, it hung bravely from the branch some twenty feet above the ground."It is the last one," said Johnsy. "I thought it would surely fall during the night. I heard the wind. It will fall to-day, and I shall die at the same time.""Dear, dear!" said Sue, leaning her worn face down to the pillow, "think of me, if you won't think of yourself. What would I do?"But Johnsy did not answer. The lonesome thing in the entire world is a soul when it is making ready to go on its mysterious, far journey. The fancy seemed to possess her more strongly as one by one the ties that bound her to friendship and to earth were loosed.The day wore away (磨损,消逝), and even through the twilight they could see the lone ivy leaf clinging to its stem against the wall. And then, with the coming of the night the north wind was again loosed, while the rain still beat against the windows and pattered down from the low Dutch eaves.When it was light enough Johnsy, the merciless (残忍的;无慈悲心的), commanded that the shade be raised.The ivy leaf was still there.Johnsy lay for a long time looking at it. And then she called to Sue, who was stirring her chicken broth over the gas stove."I've been a bad girl, Sudie," said Johnsy. "Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me how wicked I was. It is a sin (罪恶,罪孽) to want to die. You may bring a me a little broth(肉汤)now, and some milk with a little port in it, and - no; bring me a hand-mirror first, and then pack some pillows about me, and I will sit up and watch you cook."And hour later she said:"Sudie, some day I hope to paint the Bay of Naples."The doctor came in the afternoon, and Sue had an excuse to go into the hallway as he left."Even chances," said the doctor, taking Sue's thin, shaking hand in his. "With good nursing you'll win." And now I must see another case I have downstairs. Behrman, his name is - some kind of an artist, I believe. Pneumonia, too. He is an old, weak man, an d the attack is acute. There is no hope for him; but he goes to the hospital to-day to be made more comfortable."The next day the doctor said to Sue: "She's out of danger. You won. Nutrition and care now - that's all."And that afternoon Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay, contentedly knitting a very blue and very useless woolen shoulder scarf, and put one arm around her, pillows and all."I have something to tell you, white mouse," she said. "Mr. Behrman died of pneumonia to-day in the hospital. He was ill only two days. The janitor (守卫) found him the morning of the first day in his room downstairs helpless with pain. His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold. They couldn't imagine where he had been on such a dreadful night. And then they found a lantern, still lighted, and a ladder that had been dragged from its place, and some scattered brushes, and a palette with green and yellow colors mixed on it, and - look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn't you wonder why it never fluttered or moved when the wind blew? Ah, darling,it's Behrman's masterpiece - he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell."。

最后一片叶子
最后一片叶子在美国纽约西区有一个老旧的住宅区,许多画家喜欢在这里落脚,慢慢的,这里就变成大家眼中的「画家村」。
乔安娜和苏是年轻的女画家,他们对绘画充满了理想,两人在这里合租了一个房间当画室。
有一年冬天,天气变化多端,体质羸弱的乔安娜,不幸染上肺炎,奄奄一息的躺在床上。
苏废寝忘食的尽心照料,一刻也不敢离开。
可是,医生还是悄悄的对苏说:「乔安娜的病情危急,恐怕会熬不过去。
祈求上天吧!倘若她有更坚强的求生意志,那么也许会出现奇迹。
」苏隐忍着悲伤,来到乔安娜的床边。
骨瘦如柴的乔安娜,眼神空洞涣散,这时,苏听到乔安娜有气无力的数着:「十二、十一、十、九。
」过了一会儿,又听到:「八、七、六、五。
」乔安娜虚弱的声音,像飘荡在空气中的羽毛:「那棵树上的叶子只剩五片了,当最后一片叶子掉落以后,我就会跟着离开了。
」苏听了好难过,但她还是强颜欢笑的说:「你不要胡思乱想,你一定会好起来的!」乔安娜闭上眼睛,昏昏沉沉的睡了过去。
苏走到窗边看外头的树,真的,树上只剩下五片叶子。
这些叶子看起来是那样的柔弱,那样的无依无靠,那样的无所适从。
他们在冷风中哆嗦着,跟强劲的北风奋战。
连苏自己都这么想:乔安娜的生命,真的就像这些叶子一样迟早随风飘散!苏觉得自己无能为力,只能狠狠的把窗帘拉起来。
那一阵子,苏请楼下的老画家伯曼当模特儿。
苏忍不住告诉伯曼:「乔安娜说自己将会跟窗外那棵树的叶子一样,当叶子掉光,她就会离开。
」苏说完,两人的眼神不约而同望向窗外。
外头正下着雨,风雨夹击中,那五片叶子正在飞快的旋转摇晃。
「砰!」的一声,画室里一扇没关好的窗户,被风大力关起,那是多么顽强的风啊!苏和伯曼两个人,眼神流露着惊恐。
只不过,伯曼很快的镇定下来,他的双眼炯炯有神,很肯定的说:「真是胡闹!年轻的女孩,不会被肺炎打倒的!」风雨持续了一整天。
第二天早上,乔安娜请苏拉开窗帘,没想到那棵树上,居然还剩下一片叶子。
那片叶子紧紧的抓住老树的枝条不放。
乔安娜说:「这是最后一片叶子,我的生命,就只剩下今晚了。

The_last_leaf_句法分析
每一个叙事文本,无论主题如何,大体都有一个图式(schema),即文章作者用以构思和构建文本概念意义的、心理语言学意义上的超结构(superstructure)。
此外,每个文本同时还拥有一个高级语义化的宏观结构(macrostructure),它统管着具体的话语、语用互动及认知推理的微观结构(microstructure)。
叙述文本图式化的超结构一般包含情节(plot)与德育图式(moral),其中情节又包含背景(setting)与插曲(episode),插曲里包含事件(happening)的复杂性(complication)、结果(resolution)与评价(evaluation)。
当然,这种构成不是一成不变的。
从认知功能上看,篇章的超结构与隐喻修辞有关。
我们总能为叙述文本找到一个图式,一对隐含在文本中的喻体和喻依,我们称之为篇章隐喻修辞(textual metaphor)。
篇章隐喻修辞正是依据一定的图式,即某一语言文化中约定熟成的体验。
(一) 篇章隐喻修辞图式化地镶嵌或蕴涵在一定的文本结构当中。
O. Henry的The Last Leaf,讲述的是肺炎使年轻而富有抱负的艺术家Johnsy 卧病不起,她不仅放弃了生的希望,而且开始倒数窗外对面楼侧壁上攀延着的常青藤的叶子,以为自己的生命将会随着寒风肆掠常青藤叶而凋零。
当晚,住在Johnsy楼下的老艺术家Behrman冒着风雪在长青藤上画了一片常青藤叶。
第二天早上当Johnsy看到窗外常青藤上出人意料地留着最后一片叶子,它无畏地挂在离地二十英尺的常青藤枝上,尽管叶边上泛着黄色,靠近枝杆的部位却仍然带着深绿。
Johnsy开始感悟到放弃生命是一种"罪孽",并因此有了希望,最终脱离了险情。
可是人们却发现,Behrman死了,是他用最后的生命换取了那惊世之作——最后一片常青藤叶。
在这篇叙事文本当中,常青藤喻指“生命”;常青藤叶喻指“生的希望”;最后一片常青藤叶(the last leaf)喻指最后一线“生的希望”;常青藤叶的凋落喻指“生命的凋零”……这一隐喻类推帮助构建
出相互衔接的句式和意义连贯的文本。
也正是因此,最后Johnsy意识到:“求死是一种罪孽(It is a sin to want to die.)”,而那最后一片常青藤叶却赋予了老艺术家Behrman的生命更深层次的含义,成了Behrman用生命换来的惊世之作(masterpiece),从而使“热爱生命”的主题得到了深华,令O. Henry的The Last Leaf成了不朽的名篇。
可以这样说,篇章隐喻修辞统领着整个篇章的宏观和微观结构(Macrostructure & Microstructure),限定着作者的遣词造句。
这一特征是通过篇章的超结构图式对篇章的宏观结构的限制来实现的。
超结构图式的每一单项(propositional category),如情节或德育图式、背景与插曲,或者是事件的复杂性、结果与评价,都具有一定的功能特征,因此图式结构可以限定篇章的整体结构,从而决定文本中具体的信息重要与否和取舍,确定隐喻母体(matrix)和类推(analogue),并构建出了相互衔接的句式和意义连贯的文本。
(二) 篇章隐喻修辞是一种形象思维。
在《认知语言学入门》一书中,Ungerer和Schmid明确地表示:隐喻修辞不仅仅是一种表达思想的语言方式,而且是一种思考问题的方式。
当然,作为一种概念化的现象,隐喻修辞还是必须通过运用语言来影响人们的思维方式的。
拿O. Henry的The Last Leaf为例,O. Henry最擅长文本构建。
当医生第一次来的时候,说:
“She has one cha nce in ten, and that chance is for her to want to live. Y our little lady has made up her mind that she?s not going to get well.”
接着,Johnsy数着落叶说:
“When the last one falls I must go, too.”
而当Johnsy看到最后一片常青藤叶说:
“Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me how wicked I was. It is a sin to want to die.”
从“Y our little lady has made up her mind that she?s not
going to get well.”,到“When the last one falls I must go”,到“Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me…it is a sin to want to die”,我们可以看到,O. Henry不仅仅在语言上反复运用“常青藤叶是生命”的隐喻修辞,而且也是这样“概念化”的。
他赋予了“生命”一个形象化的符号——常青藤叶,又以此符号类推出一连串的隐喻修辞,用隐喻修辞完成了连贯的文字思维。
(三) 篇章隐语修辞包含概念映射和影像映射,并遵从恒常性原则。
在O. Henry的The Last Leaf中,有什么是特别的呢?我们看到有一些隐喻映射(metaphorical mapping)。
这些隐喻映射不是随意的,而是基于英语文化中人们日常的心理体验而得的,如:…常青藤?对应…生命?,…最后一片常青藤叶?对应…最后一线生的希望?。
这些隐喻映射便利读者从抽象中看到物化了的概念,而不是生搬硬套。
其基本点是:概念隐喻是在概念系统中跨区域的映射(a cross domain mapping)。
而对于下列英语表达:
1) Leaves. On the ivy vine. When the last one falls I must go, too.
2) I want to see the last one fall before it gets dark. Then I?ll go, too. I?m tired of waiting. I?m tired of thinking. I want to turn loose my hold on everything, and go sailing down, just like one of those poor, tired leaves.
3) It is the last one. It will fall today, and I shall die at the same time.
4) Something has made that last leaf stay there to show me how wicked I was. It is a sin to want to die.
这些英语表达有着共同的逻辑推理:
When the last ivy vine leaf fall, I will die.
The last leaf stays there, I shouldn?t die.
同时,这些推理还有着固定的影像图式(image schema)。
简单地说,影像图式是人们对外界事物认识的抽象概念结构的再现。
影像图
式在各种认知语义推理过程中起到了决定性的作用。
影像图式的重要特征是:他们是具体化的体验,并来自人们对世界物化的体验,诸如对身体周围环境的知觉、对外施加或感受到的力量等等。
在这些过程中,通过跨越更为抽象的概念域,人们逐渐形成了用以组织思想的基本概念结构。
影像图式构成了我们的体验世界,并组成了我们的知识结构。
因为影像图式从具体的空间世界中获得,大多能以一些同类的、简单而又高度抽象的图像来表达。
因此,隐喻映射也包括影像映射(image mappings)。
从上述英语表达和推理还可以看出,既有的概念映射和影像映射(Ivy vine leaves are lives)在整个篇章中是不变的。
也就是说,隐喻映射(包括概念映射和影像映射)遵从恒常性原则(The Invariance Principle),一旦激活,源概念域的影像图式结构将映射到目标概念域,并与目标概念域结构保持一致。
