(完整word版)Metaphor和Simile
Metaphora way of describing something by referring to it as something different and suggesting that it has similar qualities to that thingSimilean expression that describes something by comparing it with something else, using the words 'as' or 'like', for example 'as white as snow'Metaphor(隐喻)：用一个词来指代与该词本来所指事物有相似特点的另一种事物的方法。
这也是一种比较，不过这个比较是暗含的,且没有用like 或as 等指出。
如果把例句：“My girlfriend is like a sweet watermelon.”，去掉了like 这个描述词，这便是隐喻用法而不是明喻了。
因为在改了的这个句子里面，虽然也把My girlfriend 比作 a sweet watermelon，但却没有一个词指出这个比较，因而watermelon 此处是隐喻用法。
隐喻通常和be 动词连用，但是句子中的名词、动词、形容词或副词都可以有隐喻用法。
(1) A nest is to a bird what a house is to a man. （Art and Architecture, SEFC 2A, P.21）鸟巢对于鸟而言，正如房子对于人一样。
本句话的语言结构：“A is to B whatC is to D”为隐喻结构，意为“A 对B 而言正如C 对D 一样。
”(2) There were a few lordly poplars before the house.有一排白杨像贵族一样矗立在房子前。

含而不露的Metaphor（隐喻）2、含而不露的Metaphor（隐喻）Metaphor（汉译名为“隐喻”或“暗喻”），也是一种比喻，它不用比喻词，直接把甲事物（喻体）当作乙事物（本体）来描述，其比喻关系隐含在句意中，从而更生动、更深刻地说明事理，增强语言的表现力。
Webster’s New World Dictionary的解释是：“a figure of speech containing an implied comparison, in which a word or phrase or dinarily and primarily used of one thing is applied to another”这个解释的意思是说，隐喻是一种隐含着比喻的修辞格，他通常的基本用法是，表述某一事物的词或短语被用来表述另外的一种事物。
由于比喻是隐含的，决定了它的本体与喻体的关系必然十分紧密。
与simile相比较，不但不需要as, like之类的比喻词，有时甚至可以连本体也不出现。
基于这种情况，有些词典或著作常常对metaphor 和simile同时论述，称之为“浓缩的明喻（a compressed or condensed simile）”。
如A Dictionary of Literary Terms对Metaphor的定义就是如此，“Metaphor: A figure of speech in which one thing is described in terms of another. The basic figure in poetry. A comparison is usually implicit; whereas in simile it is explicit.”下面用实例对这两种修辞格做一比较：1a. Life is like an isthmus between two eternities. (simile)生活像永恒的生死两端之间的峡道。
（明喻）1b. Life is an isthmus between two eternities. (metaphor)生活是永恒的生死两端之间的峡道。
（隐喻）2a. Happiness is like sunshine: it is made up of very little beams. (simile)幸福像阳光，它由非常细小的光速构成。
（明喻）2b. The sunshine of life is made up of very little beams. (metaphor)幸福的阳光由非常细小的光速构成。
（隐喻）Metaphor在英语里运用极为广泛、频繁。
请看下面几例：Police work on inner city streets is a domestic Vietnam, a dangerous no-win struggle fought by confused, misdirected and unappreciated troops.( Gordon Witkin )市中心贫民区的治安工作是一场国内的越南战争，有一支思想混乱、指挥失灵、无人赏识的部队进行的一场危险的，只输不赢的斗争。
这是一例典型的隐喻。
人们对警方的工作（本体）可能了解不深，但在美国人们对越南战争（喻体）则是体会的既具体又痛切。
本体，喻体同时出现，通过三个相似点（confused, misdirected，unappreciated），痛陈警察的不平和苦衷，可望引起公众对警察的同情和理解。
文中Vietnam指the Vietnam War。
For years her cries of “fish for sale” were in vain. She had no home, no family, no friends — and her life was a basket of unsold fish.( Humphrey Hawksley )多年来，她“卖鱼啦”的叫喊声全然白费。
她无家可归，无夫无子，无亲无友——她的生活就是一篮没卖出去的鱼。
把卖鱼妇的生活比喻成一篮没有卖出的鱼，激起人们对卖鱼妇的无限同情。
This century…man has started to look into the working of that other universe which is inside himself ——the human brain.(Isaac Asimov: What Is Intelligence, Anyway)本世纪……人类已经开始研究自身内部的的另外一个宇宙的活动了，这另外一个宇宙就是人脑。
作者用隐喻向读者表明：“人脑”就是一个“宇宙”，它奥秘无穷，有待人类进一步研究探索。
While most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somewhat reluctant to give our fellow the warm sunshine of praise.（Janet Grham: The Profits of Praise）我们大多数人动不动就对别人刮起批评的寒风，不知为什么却不愿意把表扬的温暖阳光给予我们的同伴。
此句把太多的批评比喻为“冷风”，把表扬比喻为“温暖的阳光”，本体和喻体的关系由of含蓄表达，都是喻体在前，本体在后。
Benedick: Would you buy her, that you inquire after her?Claudio: Can the world buy such a jewel?(William Shakespeare: Much Ado about Nothing)培尼狄克：您这样问起她，是不是要把她买下来？克劳狄奥：全世界所有的财富，可以买得到这样一块美玉吗？这个例子中本体和比喻词都没有，直接由喻体jewel代替本体her（Beatrice）。
Some books are to be tasted,others to be swallowed and some few to be chewed and digested…（Francisco Bacon：Of Study）一些书浅尝即可，另一些书却要囫囵吞下，只有少数的书才值得咀嚼和消化。
此句的本体是book，喻体无疑应当是food，因为只有食物才能被“浅尝”，“吞下”，或者被“咀嚼”，“消化”。
但是作喻体的food一词却没有出现，喻体之意则折射隐含在有关进食的几个动词之中。
Iago: How poor are they that have not patient! What would did ever heal but by degrees?（William Shakespeare: Othello）伊阿古：没有耐性的人多么可怜！什么伤口不是慢慢地平复起来的？Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.( Benjamin Franklin )当心小笔的费用。
小漏不堵也会沉大船。
以上两例不是用词或短语而是用句子进行比喻，前一句为本体，后一句为喻体。
1、Metaphor的结构英语Metaphor的运用格式灵活多样，它可体现在任何句子成分上，如主语、谓语、表语、定语或状语。
在表达上它可以是一个单词、一个词组、一个句子，甚至是一个段落。
常见的有以下几种结构：1）用to be 连接本体（the tenor）和喻体（the vehicle），喻体一般体现在句子的表语部分。
这是metaphor最基本的结构形式。
To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama.(Helen Keller: Three Day to See)对我来说, 四季的奇丽变幼犹如一出动人心弦永无完结的戏剧。
在这个句子中pageant 是本体, drama 是喻体, 用is 将二者连接起来。
其结构的核心就是The pageant is a drama. 下面的例句也是如此：Macbeth：… Out, out, brief candle！Life is but a walking shadow,…( William Shakespeare: Macbeth )麦克白：……熄灭了吧，熄灭了吧，短促的烛光！人生不过是一个行走的影子，……All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.大千世界是个舞台，所有男男女女不外是个角色。
Money is a bottomless sea, in which honour, conscience, and truth may be drowned.金钱是无底的海洋，荣誉、良心和真理都可以淹没在其中。
Habit is a cable; every day we weave thread, and soon we cannot break it.习惯是缆索，每天我们都编上一条线，不久我们便扯不断了。
2）用of连接喻体和本体, 这是metaphor 另一结构, 其中的介词of 表示同位关系。
I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!我落入生活的荆棘中, 我淌血!His eyes came out of his head like a prawn’s, and once more his moustache foamed up against his breakwater of a nose.（G.. H. Vallins: Best English）他的眼睛像对虾一样鼓出来，胡子再一次泡沫似地向上翘起，抵住他那防波堤般的鼻子。
The Dutchman was six-foot, a great red-faced, hot-tempered treckox of a man.(Doris Lessing: In Pursuit of the English)那荷兰人身高六尺，大块头，红脸膛, 急脾气，简直是一条拉车的公牛。
句中的of 连接喻体treck-ox 和本体a man。
这个metaphor 的实质就是A man is a treckox.下列例句也是如此。
He nodded toward the corner to where the giant stood, his thick arms crossed on his hogshead of a chest.（Richard Connell: The Most Dangerous Game）他朝那彪形大汉站着的墙点了点头。
