摘要：
The meanings of collocations, which have been accepted as an abstraction at the syntagmatic level, may have been defined by the way human beings conceptualize the world. The patterns in the use of the English word "contain" are summarized using the British National Corpus and an attempt is made to use conceptual metaphors to interpret how these patterns came into being and how they could have derived from human beings' earliest bodily experience in the physical world. Such insight into English collocations may help improve the teaching of collocations to EFL learners.
