Abstract:

Based on the 409 metaphorical Winter Olympics sports terms of the Winter Olympics terminology platform V3 of Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, this paper made a cognitive analysis of the metaphorical Winter Olympics Sports terminology, and constructed its cognitive map based on metaphor mapping as the cognitive starting point, image schema as the cognitive model and concept integration as the cognitive process. Based on this map, quantitative and qualitative research was conducted on the English-Chinese cross lingual cognitive realization paths of metaphorical Winter Olympics sports terms under three metaphorical cross lingual ways: mapping matched of metaphorical concept domain, mapping transfer of metaphorical concept domain and mapping lacked of metaphorical concept domain. Moreover, we analyzed the translation methods for terms of literal translation or transliteration, loan translation and descriptive translation corresponding to the three cross lingual cognitive realization paths. This paper provides some reference for the translation of metaphorical Winter Olympics sports terms and Winter Olympics language service.

Key words: terminology translation, metaphorical terms, cognitive terminology, sports terms, Winter Olympics
