Dang The Binh The data for this research were chosen from 188 metaphoric expressions in “Dế Mèn phiêu lưu kí” In order to accomplish the objectives of the study, both qualitative approach and quantitative approach were used to identify conceptual metaphors in “Dế Mèn phiêu lưu ký” by To Hoai and their English versions translated by Dang The Binh Besides that comparative lu and contrastive analysis, descriptive and inductive techniques were also used an The finding indicated that the three types of conceptual metaphors used in the va n work were quite different in distribution In the Vietnamese version, the gh tn to ontological metaphors were found appearing 69 times with the highest p ie position, making up 36.7% of the total number of the conceptual metaphors analyzed Ranking the lowest position was the orientational metaphors, with nl w 30.9% The other metaphors were structural ones In contrast, in “Diary of a d oa Cricket” by Đặng Thế Bính, the ontological metaphors took up the lowest an lu position, with only 31.6% Both structural metaphors and orientational nf va metaphors occur 26 times, at a rate of 34.2% Basing on the results, we found lm ul out the loss and gain of the conceptual metaphors in “Dế Mèn phiêu lưu ký” z at nh oi by To Hoai when they were translated into English by Dang The Binh Most of the metaphors found in the Vietnamese version were replaced by metaphors or stylistics devices when they were translated into English by z gm @ Dang The Binh The unchanged metaphors only took up 30.3% Finally, the results helped us suggest some implications
