Abstract
Song Ci, as a kind of literary expression, serves as an important part of Chinese literature. Ci writers use the technique of metaphor to express their feelings, but scholars have relatively little research on the English translation of Song Ci metaphors. Guided by the conceptual metaphor theory, this paper makes a comparative analysis of the translations of Xu Yuanchong and Clara Candlin from three aspects: structural metaphor, ontological metaphor and orientational metaphor to explore appropriate translation methods of reducing the loss of metaphor, and to make the target readers appreciate similar metaphor images as the original readers.
