Abstract: Based on the comparison and analysis of vehicles in English and Chinese tropes,the conception that language is the carrier of the thoughts and culture is confirmed with more evidences.The similarities between the vehicles in Chinese and English reveal that people from different nations share the general and common knowledge about the world.However,influenced by the different social elements such as geography,local customs,religion,values and the practice of life,different nations have different ways of thinking,which is embodied in language.The study of vehicles of English and Chinese tropes contributes to the knowledge of the Western and Eastern culture and the way of thinking in Eastern and Western world.
