Abstract:

In terms of ontological metaphor, orientational metaphor and structural metaphor, explanation and analyses are made. Through three angles of conceptual metaphor and polysemy make clear the integrated English vocabulary. The study shows that conceptual metaphor has a great impact on integrated English vocabulary by understanding the basic meaning and the extensional meaning and may clarify the words meaning in line with its different dimensions. The paper concludes that conceptual metaphor will help learners master the deep meaning of vocabulary, understand the abstract concept, and adapt to the social trend that new words keep generating.

1. Introduction
First proposed by Aristotle in the 4th century BC, metaphor continues to receive constant attention of scholars in recent centuries. In everyday speech, a metaphor may appear in every three sentences on average according to statistical data by Richards. Metaphor is a process of human beings constantly aware of the wider world, the exploration of the unknown field, the mapping from the known material to the unknown material as well as the perception of things by comparing the familiar and unfamiliar things.
