内容简介

Acknowledgements Painful effort was expended in studying metaphor—the “pleasing mental effort” that makes things memorable, which involved the complex processes from choosing the topic, reviewing the literature, sorting out the experimental materials, carrying out the experiment, analyzing the data collected, concluding the findings and attempting to set up the model During these processes, those who offered direct or indirect help deserve sincere thanksThe completion of this book went through laughter and tears, based on the authors master dissertation and modified in years First and foremost, my sincere gratitude should go to Professor Liu Zhenqian, whose enlightenment, constructive suggestions as well as firsthand source on the studies of metaphor gave me great courage to complete the first original manuscript of this book I would express my special and heartfelt gratitude to my loving and affectionate mother, whose great love, help and support had enabled me to smoothly spend those tense months in struggling for the birth of the first manuscript of this book Although she is now in the peaceful heaven, unforgettable memory often brings me back to the years of happy time with her and the warm moments when she affectionately and softly called my name and asked me to go to sleep while I was typing on the keyboard at deep night She left and slept forever, but my miss and love for her is still growing with times gone by I also want to thank my father, my husband and my son for their love, support and encouragement they have been giving me in my academic pursuits all these years In the days of polishing the final script of this book, my dear father helped to take care of my son and my family, enabling me to have time to complete this book without worries and being pushed by daily chores Id like to thank my sensible and lovely son for putting cups of water on my desk when I was hard at work Id love to thank my husband, who often helped with the routine life at home without complaints even when he is busy with his workI also owe a lot to some of my friends, who gave me encouragement and understanding and helped to organize the participants and arrange the venue for the experiment Without their help, the experimental research could not have been completed Besides, I would also like to thank those scholars and authors at home and abroad whose books and research results I have consulted and obtained precious enlightenment fromGratitude and Love are woven in the lines of chapters All those who deserve my thanks contributed to the merits in this book, if any Surely, due to the insufficiency of my knowledge, any error that still exists is mine Any comments and suggestions for the improvement will be highly cherished Metaphor and Memory>>><<
