In the 1980s, Lakoff and Johnson gave a most provocative linguistic account of metaphor, which ran counter to the traditional opinion that metaphor was only a figure of speech and entitled it with the definition that it was a cognitive mechanism explaining or understanding one thing in terms of experience from a particular field to another. On the basis of previous research, the thesis here uses the conceptual metaphor of Lakoff and substantially analyzes the working mechanism of conceptual metaphor, its characteristics and cognitive function, and get a more integrated and systematic classification of the conceptual metaphor in the business English discourses. It can be mainly divided into three classifications: structural metaphor, orientational metaphor and ontological metaphor, which can be specified into war and physical fighting metaphor, health metaphor, love and marriage metaphor, organism metaphor, water metaphor, drama metaphor, container metaphor and personification metaphor and so on. The thesis then indicates 4 most familiar implications and applications of the conceptual metaphors about the business environment. The findings in the thesis can be applied to linguistics itself, international trade and English teaching. 【KEYWORDS】conceptual metaphor；mapping process；business English discourse。 classification C
