Metaphors serve as a powerful rhetorical device and an important cognitive approach in popular science texts which attempt to render scientific knowledge intelligible and accessible to wide audiences.The present paper aims at identifying and analyzing two typical metaphorical expressions as used in popular science texts – semi-technical term metaphor and cultural metaphor,and meanwhile unearthing the corresponding translating methods through the case study of the translation of What a Wonderful World: One Man's Attempt to Explain the Big Stuff(Chapters1-3).
