The use of metaphors concerning cancer was investigated by interviewing nine Danish cancer patients, aged 30-85 years. Metaphors about the disease were widely used, e.g. personification metaphors. Most patients considered their cancer as a metaphor for a physical and psychological imbalance in the period before the disease. Some patients felt responsible for the disease. The metaphors of cancer patients should be considered when communicating with cancer patients.
通过对9名年龄在30至85岁之间的丹麦癌症患者进行访谈，研究了与癌症相关的隐喻的使用情况。关于这种疾病的隐喻被广泛使用，例如拟人化隐喻。大多数患者在患病前的一段时间里将自己的癌症视为身体和心理失衡的一种隐喻。一些患者觉得自己应对这种疾病负责。在与癌症患者沟通时，应该考虑到癌症患者的隐喻。
