修辞手法(figure of speech)
修辞手法是通过修饰、调整语句,运用特定的表达形式以提高语言表达作用的方式和方法。修辞不仅仅在中文里很常见,在英文里也是多种多样。这篇文章里,我们就来谈一谈英文中常见的修辞手法。
1.simile明喻
A simile is a figure of speech in which two fundamentally unlike things are explicitly compared, usually in a phrase introduced by like or as.
明喻是常用as或like等词将两种不同事物通过比较而连接起来的一种修辞手法。
让我们看几个例子:
Good coffee is like friendship: rich and warm and strong.
好的咖啡如同友谊,丰厚,温暖,热烈。
Life is rather like opening a tin of sardines. We're all of us looking for the key.
人生就像一罐沙丁鱼,我们大家都在找开启的起子。
He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen from him to crow.
他这人就像一只骄傲的公鸡,以为太阳升起是为了它的啼叫。
2.metaphor暗喻
A metaphor is a trope or figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something in common.
暗喻是将两种有共同点的不同事物进行隐晦比较的修辞手法。
