Abstract

The present paper favors a cognitive approach to metaphor launched by Lake off and Johnson’s influential book, Metaphors We Live By (1980) The aim of the study is to identify the aspects of similarities and differences of conceptual expressions between the source and target languages, and try to explore the TRANSLATION strategies used by the translators based on the most outstanding TRANSLATION hypothesis by Kvasses (2005). The corpus comprises two collections of documentary films which are nine bundred minutes altogether.The results obtained from the comparison of linguistic and cultural peculiarities of the metaphorical expressions between the two languages revealed that similarities in metaphorical expressions increase translatability, while differences binder the TRANSLATION process. The analysis also showed that the translators tended to copy the original and reproduce in the TT the same image as given in ST. It seemed that tendency towards isomorphism is resulted from the translators’ poor knowledge concerning cognitive approach as related to CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS.
