一些常用的英语修辞手法

一些常用的英语修辞手法

英语修辞手法一、明喻(simile)是以两种具有相同特征的事物和现象进行对比,表明本体和喻体之间的相似关系,两者都在对比中出现。

常用比喻词like, as, as if, as though等,例如:1、This elephant is like a snake as anybody can see.这头象和任何人见到的一样像一条蛇。

2、He looked as if he had just stepped out of my book of fairytales and had passed me like a spirit.他看上去好像刚从我的童话故事书中走出来,像幽灵一样从我身旁走过去。

3、It has long leaves that sway in the wind like slim fingers reaching to touch something.它那长长的叶子在风中摆动,好像伸出纤细的手指去触摸什么东西似的。

二、隐喻(metaphor)这种比喻不通过比喻词进行,而是直接将用事物当作乙事物来描写,甲乙两事物之间的联系和相似之处是暗含的。

1、German guns and German planes rained down bombs, shells and bullets...德国人的枪炮和飞机将炸弹、炮弹和子弹像暴雨一样倾泻下来。

2、The diamond department was the heart and center of the store.钻石部是商店的心脏和核心。

三、提喻(synecdoche)又称举隅法,主要特点是局部代表全体,或以全体喻指部分,或以抽象代具体,或以具体代抽象。

例如:1、The Great Wall was made not only of stones and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.长城不仅是用石头和土建造的,而且是用几百万人的血和肉建成的。

英语18种重要修辞手法

英语18种重要修辞手法

英语18种重要修辞手法一、语义修辞1明喻(simile)俗称直喻,是依据比喻和被比喻两种不同事物的相似关系而构成的修辞格。

例如:1.The snow was like a white blanket drawn over the field.2.He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to he ar him crow.认真观察以上各例,我们会发现它们的特点,由(as)... as, like等引导,这些引导词被称作比喻词(acknowledging word),它们是辨别明喻的最显著的特征,明喻较为直白,比喻物和被比喻物之间相似点较为明显,所以明喻是一种比较好判断的修辞手法。

2暗喻(metaphor)也称隐喻,是依据比喻和被比喻两种不同事物的相似或相关关系而构成的修辞格。

例如:1.His friend has become a thorn in his side.(他的朋友已变成眼中钉肉中刺。

)2.You are your mother’s glass.(你是你母亲的翻版。

)3.Hope is a good breakfast, but it’s a bad supper.由以上各例可知,暗喻没有引导词,这是明喻和暗喻在形式上的最大区别。

换句话说,有为明喻,没有为暗喻。

如:He has a heart of stone. He has a heart like stone.很显然,前句是暗喻,后句是明喻。

暗喻时,比喻物和被比喻物之间的相似点较为含蓄,猛一看它们毫无关系,实际却有着某种内在联系。

谈到暗喻,有必要说说它的两种变体(variety):博喻(sustained metaphor)和延喻(extended metaphor),它们是英语比喻中的特殊类型。

(1)博喻连续使用多个喻体去比喻主体的方法就叫做博喻。

比如:There again came out the second flash, with the spring of a serpent and the shout of a fiend, looked green as an emerald, and the reverberation was stunning.(爆发了第二次闪电,她像蛇一样蜿蜒,如魔鬼般嘶叫,像翠玉般碧绿,轰隆隆震耳欲聋。

常见英文修辞手法(Figures of Speech)英文的修辞手法种类繁多,功能多样,但总体说来,采用修辞手法,目的是为了使表达生动、形象,有感染力,给人以美感,即实现许渊冲先生所指的的语言的三美:“音美、形美和意美”。

1. figures of comparison: simile, metaphor. (resemblance of two identities) Simile: a figure involves an expressed comparison, always introduced by “like”, “as”or “as if”.e.g.:a. Hair is all over his head a foot long and hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail. (Alice Walker: Everyday Use for Your Grandmama)b. Maggie‟s hand is as limp as a fish. (Alice Walker: Everyday Use for Your Grandmama)Metaphor: the substitution of one thing for another because of the resemblance between them. It is an implied comparison without “as” or “like”. Nouns, verbs and adjectives can be used metaphorically.e.g.:a. Little donkeys with harmoniously tinkling bells thread their way among the throngs of people entering and leaving the bazaar. (The Middle Eastern Bazaar)b. The dye-market, the pottery-market and the carpenters‟ market lie elsewhere in the maze of the vaulted streets which honeycomb this bazaar. (The Middle Eastern Bazaar)c. Darrow walked slowly round the baking court. (The Trial that Rocked the World)d. H. L. Mencken wrote sulphurous dispatches sitting in his pants with a fan blowing on him…(The Trial that Rocked the World)2. Personification: a figure that endows objects, animals, ideas, or abstractions with human form, character, or sensibility.1)TO inanimate objects(把无生命的物体拟人化)e.g.:a. The thirsty soil drank in the rain.b. The mist, like love, plays upon the heart of the hills and brings out surprises of beauty.2) to inanimate living organisms (把有生物拟人化) e.g.a. He (the Fox) muttered as he retreated: “Well! What does it matter! The Grapes are sour!”….( Aesop’s Fables)b. Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.(Tagore: Stray Birds)3) To inanimate concepts or ideas (把抽象概念拟人化) e.g.:a. Wrong cannot afford defeat but Right can. (谬误经不起失败,但真理却不怕失败)(Tagore: Stray Birds)b. These little thoughts are the rustle of leaves; they have their whisper of joy in my mind.(这些微思,是绿叶的簌簌之声呀;他们在我的心里,愉快地微语着。

)(Tagore: Stray Birds) 郑振铎译c. In November, a cold, unseen stranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia, stalked about the colony, touching one here and there with his icy fingers. Over on the east side the ravager strode boldly, smiting his victims by scores. (O. Henry: The Last Leaves )3. Metonymy: the substitution of the name of one thing for that of another with which it is closely associated1) To substitute sb./ sth. with instrument; e.g.:a.The pen is mightier than the sword.b.He is too fond of the bottle. /The baby was brought up on the bottle.c.The pot has boiled over.2) to substitute sb./ sth. with its own typical features; e.g.:a.The blue eyes walked into the office.b.Led on the gray-hair’d wisdom of the east.c.His aunt wept over him and asked him how he could go and break her old hartso; and finally told him to go on, and ruin himself and bring her gray hairs with sorrow to the grave,for it was no use for her to try any more. ( Tom Sawyer)3) other formsa.On the 14th of March, at a quarter to three in the afternoon, the greatest livingthinker ceased to think.b.Do you like Beethoven?c.The captain had fallen in possession of a complete Shakespeare.d.Washington has reacted cautiously to the latest peace proposals.4. Synecdoche (: the naming of a part to mean the whole, or the whole to the part, as in “hands”for “men who do manual labor.1) Part for the wholea.Many hands make light work. 人多好办事。

b.Two heads are better than one.2)The whole for the parta.T he world knows his worth.b.The football match was a close contest. In the end, England won.c.This fox goes very well with your cap.3) Material for the producta.The little girl’s piggy bank is full of nickels.b.He is preparing a paper on World population for our next meeting.5. Euphemism (委婉语): the substitution of an offensive expression for one that may be disagreeable, a taboo, etc. e.g.:a.And, it being low water, he went out with the tide. (Charles Dickens: DavidCopperfield) Other euphemistic expression for death: to pass away, to be no more, to be gone, to go west, to fall asleep, to breathe one‟s last, to meet one‟s Maker, to go to the way of all earth, to return to dust, to join the majority, etc.b.He fed his family on bowls of sunshine. (He had nothing to feed his family on.)Other similar expressions: to live on air, to live on illusionsc.西方媒体常用委婉语来掩盖矛盾,粉饰太平:e.g.: “the culturally deprived, theunderprivileged or disadvantaged”for “the poor”; “ethnic neighborhood”for “slums or ghettos”, “industrial action”for “strike”, “disturbance”for “riot”, “in difficulties” for “in debts”, “a man of doubtful taste” for “a man of bad taste”, “a lady of the town” for “a prostitute”, “queer” for “homosexua l”.中文中也不乏类似的例子:“工读学校”--- “青少年罪犯劳教学校”;“待业青年”---“没有工作的或者失业的青年”6. Allusion (引喻):这一修辞手法与汉语引用中的“暗引”相近似,它包括引用典故、谚语、成语、格言和俗语等。
