Abstract:  In the model move “past” there are two positions for the perception of the event: the position of the reference point and the position of a moving object.
From the position of the reference point in the metaphorical use of the model of “past”, the perception of the situation in the Russian and Chinese language consciousness has shown the similarity in three variations:
1) non-visual perception of passing events;
2) rendered perception of time-events;
3) unintentional omission due to the lack of focus and an intentional pass, when the observer-controller allows the implementation of further progress.
If the perception of the situation with a dynamic position plays a crucial role, the evaluation benchmarks are neutral, negative (undesirable to come into contact with the guide) and positive (the reference point is estimated as the target point). The last assessment is irrelevant for Chinese 过.

Keywords:  landmark, the subject of perception, observer, miss, miss the target
