ABSTRACT This article examines the strategies that Evelyn Fox Keller has employed to analyze the work of metaphor in the language and practice of science, particularly in biology. It offers that the rhetorical device of zeugma – ‘the use of a word to modify or govern two or more words usually in such a manner that it applies to each in a different sense …' (Merriam-Webster) – is worth leaning upon to further open up the linguistic operations Keller identifies as animating scientists' talk of genetic codes and programs. Inspired by Indigenous and trans scholarship on the limits of metaphor, the piece argues for reinvigorated conversation about the politics of analogy in biology.

不是隐喻：对伊芙琳·福克斯·凯勒的“自然科学中隐喻的认知功能”的评论

摘要 本文考察了伊芙琳·福克斯·凯勒 (Evelyn Fox Keller) 用来分析隐喻在科学语言和实践中，尤其是生物学中的工作的策略。它提供了 zeugma 的修辞手法——“使用一个词来修饰或支配两个或多个词，通常以这种方式适用于每个词在不同的意义上......”（梅里亚姆-韦伯斯特）——值得借鉴进一步开放语言操作，凯勒认为科学家们对遗传密码和程序的讨论充满活力。受到土著和跨性别关于隐喻限制的学术的启发，这篇文章主张重振关于生物学类比政治的对话。
