For more than two thousand years, metaphor was viewed as a device of rhetoric, an attachment to language. In accordance with this perspective, metaphor was a comparison between two things that do not belong to the same category or was regarded as one word used to substitute another because there were preexisting similarities between them. As a result of this perspective, two theories took shape: one was the Comparison Theory, the other was the Theory of Substitution. But modern scholars discard the perspective, holding that metaphor is not only a device of rhetoric, to be more important, it is a leading way for human beings to know this world, a way of thinking. Key words: metaphor; collocation; terms （注意：关键词3-5个，字体要加粗，词与词之间用分号分开）  Contents 摘 要 ……………………………………………………………….i Abstract …………………………………………….……….………..ii Introduction……………………………………...………..1 Chapter 1 A Historical Retrospection of Metaphor………...………...2 1.1 Aristotelian School: Metaphor—A Device of Rhetoric…..……….2 1.2 The Platonic School—Language is Metaphorical….……………. 5 ……….
