Abstract：“The Snows of Kilimanjaro”, first published in Esquire magazine in 1936, is one of Hemingway’s best short stories. The story centers on the memories of a writer named Harry who is on safari in Africa. He has developed an infected wound from a thorn puncture, and lies awaiting his slow death. The short story is the author’s philosophical contemplation about death and immortality, and his warning of the threat to lose artistic integrity to the American writers. Ever since its publication, “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” has consistently enjoyed popular acclaim and scholarly attention.
Many critics have analyzed the metaphors in “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”. However, metaphor is not a mode of language, but a mode of thought. Based on the theory of George Lakoff, the paper will use conceptual metaphors, a method of Cognitive stylistics, to interpret the metaphorical expressions in“The Snows of Kilimanjaro”, thus providing a new perspective to understand this text.
The thesis is composed of four chapters. The first chapter is a brief introduction to the author Hemingway and his story “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”. The second chapter clarifies the origin, definition, and classification of conceptual metaphors. The third chapter discusses the conceptual metaphors in the title and those about Harry’s death, emotion and life. The last chapter is the conclusion.

摘要：《乞力马扎罗的雪》,于1936年首次发表在《绅士》杂志上,是海明威最好的短篇小说之一。故事讲述了作家哈里到非洲狩猎，不慎被荆棘划破膝盖，伤口感染,只能等待死亡的缓慢到来。该短篇小说是作者关于死亡和不朽的哲学思考,也是他对正在失去艺术操守的美国作家的警告。自问世以来,《乞力马扎罗的雪》就一直受到读者的热烈欢迎和评论界的广泛关注。
许多评论家都注意到隐喻在这篇小说中的大量使用。然而,隐喻不是一种语言的模式,而是一种思维的方式。本文在莱考夫认知文体学理论的基础上,运用概念隐喻理论解读《乞力马扎罗的雪》中的隐喻表达,从而为理解这个文本提供一个新的视角。
本文分为四个章节。第一章介绍了作者海明威和他的小说《乞力马扎罗的雪》。第二章阐述了概念隐喻的起源、定义和分类。第三章运用概念隐喻理论，分析小说标题中以及与哈里死亡、情绪变化和人生有关的隐喻表达。最后一章是结论。
