What Is Unusual about the Miraculous Metaphors?——A Deliberation on Bidirectional Metaphors

There is a webpage with captioned pictures entitled Miraculous Metaphors which lists 20 extraordinary metaphors.What is unusual about the metaphors is that each of them has the highest degree of brevity.Like a folded paperwork, each has to be unfolded step by step in understanding from a descriptive statement to a metaphorical statement and then to a bidirectional metaphor.And secondly, each of them produces the greatest fun because their respective metaphorical ground embraces more than one secondary metaphor, i.e.the principle of metaphors' possessing multiple sides while most of them having two handles.Each secondary metaphor can be understood as polysemous while their combination is a pun as a result of the interaction of secondary metaphors and the sentence pattern metaphor.Every polysemy and every pun concern themselves with the two metaphors of each bidirectional metaphor.The miraculous metaphors reveal 6 linguistic laws and are new discoveries in metaphor researches.
