"Metaphor"

Metaphor magnifies people's inner cognition, and people conduct divergent thinking through an object and link the relationship between things.

"今夜月色真美"
"我喜欢你"
-The moon is beautiful tonight.
-I love you.
· 今夜は月が綺麗ですね. -なつめ そうせき
· あなたのことが好きです

A mental image exists in an individual's mind as something one remembers or imagines. The subject of an image need not be real; it may be an abstract concept such as a graph or function, or an imaginary entity. For a mental image to be understood outside of an individual's mind, however, there must be a way of conveying that mental image through the words or visual productions of the subject.
