摘要

This paper analyses the application of Conceptual Blending Theory in tourism English teaching in Colleges and universities. The application of Conceptual Blending Theory to tourism English translation strategy provides a new teaching perspective for English teaching. Conceptual Blending Theory can establish mutual mapping in psychological spatial network and integrate into new spatial network in various ways. This paper emphasizes the importance of conceptual integration in tourism English teaching from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. It holds that tourism English teaching is not a static teaching, but a dynamic process of semantic construction.
