Translation of English Simile and Metaphor

In the light of the principle of functional equivalence, this paper raises and discusses five approaches to translation of English simile and metaphor into Chinese. The five metbods go as follows: literal translation, change in images or vehicles, liberal translation, addition, both literal and liberal translation. By analysing the cultural similarities and differences involved in figures of speech of Chinese & English, the paper elucidates the appropriateness and feasibility of the above-mentioned methods.
