1. Introduction

English is most widely spoken language in the world, indisputably the primary language of global trade and commerce, it is the most spoken official language in the world. In many countries, most tourism authorities and other officials in contact with the public speak English to interact and engage with tourists and immigrants. 

But we people should know is that language is firstly reflected by means of sound. Besides, metaphor is pervasive in daily life. It is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action that it does not literally denote in order to imply a resemblance. Accordingly, it is of essential significance to recognize, understand and effectively use the combination of sound and metaphor---phonetic metaphor, which first proposed by Ivan Fónagy in his Why Iconicity in 1999. But he just explained the similarity between the pronunciation and the expression of the meaning. Li Hong, the domestic scholar, firstly introduced this concept of phonetic metaphor into China in 2005, and she also employ certain analytical methods of the lexicology to make a preliminary classification on the phonetic metaphor in English or Chinese.
