英语修辞简介

一、明喻(Simile)用另一种事物比方所要说明的事物.通常格式是A像B,使用As,like,as though一类的词.例:The Party is like my mother.My heart is like a singing brid.Her face is as fresh as a rose.二、隐喻:(metaphor)以此比彼而不说像,让读者自己去意会的比喻手法;更富表现力,常有夸张意味.例:She is really a duck(尤物),he thought.He is a mule,Cf、He is like a mule.(明喻)三、修饰语(epithet)一个词或词组给予所修饰的事物以具有表现力的说明,叫修饰语.修饰语多是定语性和状语性词组,但不能把它同语法学上的定语、状语混为一谈.修饰语的重心在于它的描绘比喻的表现力.
