内容正文:
Unit 2 BRIDGING CULTURES
— Words and Expressions
I have studied for business qualifications at Peking University for one year.I recall that faced with complex surroundings and dramatic changes, I suffered from tremendous pressure and overwhelming homesickness,which made me depressed in the beginning. But being an ambitious, optimistic and mature student, I managed to motivate myself to step out of my comfort zone.I grasped every chance to speak up and offer logical presentations in class, enabling myself to become competent.I engaged in the Literature Club to strengthen my literary outlook on life.I got involved in the Basketball Association so that I could learn to cooperate with others.I participated in some other meaningful activities and benefited much from the participation.There is no denying that all of them could make me see things from different angles and have more reasonable insights into daily affairs.
As far as I’m concerned, exposed to the surrounding settings,I gradually felt at home. Just as the old saying goes,“No pains,no gains.”Now I can behave perfectly at university.Furthermore,because I was on a tight budget,I took up a position as a tutor to cover my daily expenses and tuition fees,which cost an arm and a leg.Now my ambition is to become an advisor for exchange studentsto broaden my global perspective and improve my competence. Among so many applicants, I believe that I am qualified for the job because I have firm determination.Whatever the outcome is,I’ll sincerely side with the school’s decision. In summary,now I am confident in my expectation of setting up my own firm in the future.

英语中的metaphor(隐喻)来源于希腊语 metaphora,该词由meta- (over) 和 pherein (to carry) 合成,合起来意思是 to carry over(拿过来)。
隐喻的本质是用一种事物来理解另一种事物,并且多是参照熟悉的、有形的、具体的事物来认识和表达无形的、抽象的事物。
隐喻是一种思维方式,无处不在,它是多义词产生词义的主要理据。建立隐喻思维能更好地理解和掌握由基本义到衍生义这一思维。
