Abstract:Emotion is a more complex and stable experience on the physical attitude, whose specific forms are happiness, sadness, anger, etc. However, metaphor acts as a bridge between the concrete and abstract things, offering the possibility for understanding emotions. Emotional metaphor is one kind of metaphor, and happiness is one of the most important human emotions. Therefore, people use metaphors of the abstract emotion of happiness on the basis of perception and cognition, making the abstract emotion vividly expressed.

In this study, a variety of emotion metaphors in both English and Chinese are   investigated. Meanwhile, it reclassifies the happiness metaphor and discusses the characteristics and the types of happiness metaphor. After a comprehensive analysis and comparison, following conclusions can be drawn: the concept of emotion metaphors in English and Chinese shows the similarities and differences to a certain degree. Take one for example: English often uses natural phenomena to express emotions, such as happiness is “pleasant weather”, while Chinese conceptualizes happiness as “a happy God”. Several reasons caused such difference, such as different cultural contexts and physical environment. And different culture’s characteristics play an important role in metaphor studies.

Keywords: happiness  emotion metaphor  comparison  culture
