拟人（Personification） 拟人（Personification）
拟人就是把动物和没有生命的事物当成有思想感 情的人类来描写，甚至让它们具有人的行为。这 些事物可以是无生命的实体，还可以是抽象的概 念， 如：a smiling moon（微笑的月亮），a 如：a moon（微笑的月亮），a crying city（哭泣的城市），to strangle justice city（哭泣的城市），to （扼杀正义）等。 英汉两种语言中都有这种修辞手法，在翻译的时 候一般可采取直译的方法再现原文的生动形象。

转喻（Metonymy） 转喻（Metonymy）
转喻就是借与人或事物有关联的事物来指代人或事物。根 据上下文，既可以直译，也 可以意译。首先请看下面的例句： 1）Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? 生命当真如此可贵，和平当真如此甜蜜，竟值得以枷锁和 奴役为代价去换取吗？ 在这里，chains（枷锁）指代“束缚”，直译既可以保留 在这里，chains（枷锁）指代“束缚”，直译既可以保留 原文的感染力，又可以为读者理解。但并不是在所有情况 下直译都是最好选择，例如：John 下直译都是最好选择，例如：John spent many years in chains beforehe saw his family again. Chains 在这里指 代“囚禁”，若译成“约翰在枷锁中过了许多年才又见到 他的家人”则嫌不够自然，可意译成“约翰在监牢里呆了 很多年才又见到他的家人”。
