Based mainly on the conceptual metaphor theory of cognitive linguistics, this paper is a study of Chinese and English popular song lyrics with inspirational themes.Based on a self-constructed corpus of Chinese and English songs, this paper summarizes the types of inspirational metaphors in Chinese and English songs, conducts a comparative analysis of conceptual metaphors in Chinese and English inspirational songs, summarizes the similarities and differences, and explores the reasons behind the differences, thus demonstrating the cog-nitive nature of metaphors and enriching the cognitive connotation of meta-phors.
