When these metaphors are used in normal ways, it is rare that the speaker and audience regard them as figurative speech. Examples of metaphors in English that go unrecognized are:
* "Turn the heat *up*." MORE is spoken of as UP.
* "Let us *go ahead* with our debate." DOING WHAT WAS PLANNED is spoken of as WALKING or ADVANCING.
* "You *defend* your theory well." ARGUMENT is spoken of as WAR.
* "Turn the heat *up*." HOTTER is spoken of as UP.
* "Turn the radio *up*. LOUDER is spoken of as UP.
* "Let us *go ahead* with our debate." DOING WHAT WAS PLANNED is spoken of as WALKING or MOVING FORWARD.
* "A *flow* of words" WORDS are spoken of as LIQUIDS.
English speakers do not view these as unusual or metaphorical expressions, so it would be wrong to translate them into other languages in a way that would lead people to pay special attention to them as figurative speech.
