摘要：
In 1980, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson's Metaphors We Live By made conceptual metaphor a hot research issue. Conceptual metaphor shows universality as well as variation among different languages. This paper compares English and Chinese conceptual metaphors and tries to discuss whether the universality of the metaphor or the variation of the metaphor takes a more dominant place. In addition, this paper explores the specific reasons behind these variations, hoping that this study may shed some light on the understanding of the nature of conceptual metaphors.
