Britain's withdrawal from the European Union (“Brexit”) in June 2016 has been one of the biggest issues in British politics and has received wide media coverage because of its consequences for both the UK and the European Union. This article explores the visual representation of Brexit in political cartooning through the analysis of a corpus of digital cartoons. The analysis yields two findings: (1) Brexit is shaped on the basis of a set of metaphors that can be subsumed within metaphor scenarios—the family scenario or the journey scenario; (2) the metaphors used to conceptualize this issue are used either to provide a justification for Brexit or evaluate UK's withdrawal from the EU positively or negatively.

英国脱欧在数字政治漫画中的隐喻表现

英国于 2016 年 6 月退出欧盟（“Brexit”）一直是英国政治中最大的问题之一，并因其对英国和欧盟的影响而受到媒体的广泛报道。本文通过对数字漫画语料库的分析，探讨了英国脱欧在政治漫画中的视觉表现。分析得出两个发现：（1）英国脱欧是基于一组可以包含在隐喻场景中的隐喻——家庭场景或旅程场景；(2) 用于概念化这个问题的隐喻要么被用来为英国脱欧提供理由，要么积极或消极地评估英国退出欧盟。
