高级英语修辞总结
Rhetorical Devices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 likea 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、Allusion暗引其特点是不注明来源和出处,一般多引用人们熟知的关键词或词组,将其融合编织在作者的话语中;引用的东西包括典故、谚语、成语、格言和俗语等;英语引用最多的是源出圣经故事以及希腊、罗马神话、伊索寓言和那些源远流长的谚语、格言等;例如：1、Grammar may be his heel of Achilles.语法是他的大弱点;Achilles是希腊神话中的一位勇士;除了脚踵处,他身上其他地方刀枪不入;2、The project is an economic albatross from the start.这个项目从一开始就是一个摆脱不了的经济难题;Albatross是英国诗人柯勒律治的古舟子咏中的信天翁,它被忘恩负义的水手杀死后,全船陷入灾难中;四、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;句中的“the flesh and blood”喻为“the great sacrifice”巨大的牺牲2、“...saying that it was the most beautiful tongue in the world,...”……他说这是世界上最美的语言;这里用具体的“tongue”代替抽象的“language”;3、Many eyes turned to a tall,20—year black girl on the . team.很多人将眼光投向美国队一个高高的20岁的黑姑娘;这里的“many eyes”代替了“many persons”;五、转喻/借代metonymy是指两种不同事物并不相似,但又密不可分,因而常用其中一种事物名称代替另一种;1、Several years later, word came that Napoleonyh himself was coming to inspect them... 几年以后,他们听说拿破仑要亲自来视察他们;“word”在这里代替了“news, information”消息、信息2、Al spoke with his eyes, “yes”.艾尔用眼睛说,“是的”;“说”应该是嘴的功能,这里实际上是用眼神表达了“说话的意思”;六、拟人personification这种修辞方法是把人类的特点、特性加于外界事物之上,使之人格化,以物拟人,以达到彼此交融,合二为一;1、Necessity is the mother of invention.需要乃是发明之母;2、She is the favoured child of Fortune她是幸运之宠儿;两句中名词mother和child通常用于人,而这里分别用于无生命的名词invention 和Fortune,使这两个词拟人化了;七、夸张hyperbole这是运用丰富的想象,过激的言词,渲染和装饰客观事物,以达到强调的效果;1、My blood froze. 我的血液都凝固了;2、When I told our father about this, his heart burst.当我将这件事告诉我们的父亲时,他的心几乎要迸出来;3、My heart almost stopped beating when I heard my daughter’s voice on the phone.从电话里一听到我女儿的声音,我的心几乎停止跳动;八、Understatement: 含蓄陈述It is the opposite of hyperbole, or overstatement. It achieves its effect of emphasizing a fact by deliberately understating it, impressing the listener or the reader more by what is merely implied or left unsaid than by bare statement.1、 It is no laughing matter.九、双关语pun是以一个词或词组,用巧妙的办法同时把互不关联的两种含义结合起来,以取得一种诙谐有趣的效果;Napoleon was astonished. ”Either you are mad, or I am,”he declared. “Both,sir”cried the Swede proudly.“Both”一词一语双关,既指拿破仑和这位士兵都是疯子,又指这位战士参加过拿破仑指挥的两次战役;十、讽刺irony是指用含蓄的褒义词语来表示其反面的意义,从而达到使本义更加幽默,更加讽刺的效果;Well, of course, I knew that gentlemen like you carry only large notes.啊,当然,我知道像你这样的先生只带大票子;店员这句话意在讽刺这位穿破衣的顾客：像你这样的人怎么会有大票子呢名为“gentlemen”实则“beg gar”而已;十一、Euphemism委婉修辞法就是用转弯抹角的说法来代替直截了当的话,把原来显得粗鲁或令人尴尬的语言温和、含蓄地表达出来;这在汉语中叫委婉语;例如：用sanitation engineer替代garbage man清洁工用the disadvantaged替代the poor穷人用industrial action替代strike罢工十二、Transferred epithet移就/转类形容词是采用表示性质和特征的形容词或相当于形容词的词来修饰、限定与它根本不同属性的名词;这种修辞手法能与汉语中的移就基本相似;例如：The doctor's face expressed a kind of doubting admiration.用"疑惑"修饰限定"钦佩"医生的脸上流露出钦佩而又带有疑惑的神情;十三、矛盾修辞法Oxymoron用两种不相调和,甚至截然相反的特征来形容一项事物,在矛盾中寻求哲理,以便收到奇警的修辞效果,这就是矛盾修辞法,用这种方法,语言精炼简洁,富有哲理,并产生强大的逻辑力量,产生一种出人意料,引人入胜的效果;例如：in bitter-sweet memories, orderly chaos混乱 and proud humility侮辱.十四、仿拟Parody根据家喻户晓的成语或谚语,临时更换其中的某个部分,造成新的成语或谚语；或者根据古今名言警句,在保持其原句不变的情况下,更换其中部分词语,这种修辞方式叫仿拟;1、To lie or not to lie-the doctor's dilemma撒谎还是不撒谎——医生的难题看到这个标题,我们不禁想起莎翁戏剧Hamlet中那个永远也解不透的句子“To be or not to be, that is the question”;显然,文章的题目由此模仿而来,给人印象深刻;2、Lady hermits who are down but not out穷困而不潦倒的女隐士们文中的down but not out 源于down and out,原是拳击比赛的术语,后来喻指穷困潦倒的人;十五、Antithesis 对句、平行对照它是把意义相反或相对的语言单位排列在平行、对称的结构里,以求取一种匀称的形式美和强烈的对照感;Antithesis 有两个特点:一是语义上的对照性,二是结构上的对称性;因此, 该辞格可看作是Parallelism平行与Contrast 对照的结合,故译作“平行对照”;体现Antithesis 的语言单位可分为两个层次,即词语和句子, 所以又将Antithesis 译为“对语”、“对句”;英语Antithesis 形式整齐对称,音律节奏铿锵,内容既适于反衬对照,又适于重复强调,在形、音、义各方面都具有鲜明的修辞功能;Antithesis 的使用能揭示事物的矛盾性,对照的语句往往说得巧妙机智,寓意深刻,蕴含着某种人生的哲理或真谛,常见于英语谚语、名言、演说及文学作品中;例如: 1、Knowledge makes humble , ignorance makes proud. Proverb有知使人谦卑, 无知使人骄矜;2、A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities ; an optimist is onewho makes opportunities of his difficulties.悲观的人把机会变成困难; 乐观的人将困难化为机会;3、Ask not what your country can do for you —ask what you can do for your country. John Kennedy: Inaugural Address不要问国家能为你们做些什么,而要问你们能为国家做些什么;上述两个例句体现了一种特殊的Antithesis ,句中同样采用“交错配列法”,用词巧妙,交叉重复,前后对照,含义隽永;十六、头韵法alliteration头韵是一种语音修辞方式,它指在文句中有两个以上连结在一起的词或词组,其开头的音节有同样的字母或声音,以增强语言的节奏感;常用于文章的标题、诗歌及广告语中,简明生动,起到突出重点,加深印象,平衡节奏,宣泄感情的作用;How and why he had come to Princeton, New Jersey is a story of struggle, success, and sadness.十七、拟声onomatopoeia是摹仿自然界中非语言的声音,其发音和所描写的事物的声音很相似,使语言显得生动,富有表现力;1、On the root of the school house some pigeons were softly cooing.在学校房屋的屋顶上一些鸽子正轻轻地咕咕叫着;2、She brought me into touch with everything that could be reached or felt——sunlight, the rustling of silk, the noises of insects, the creaking of a door, the voice of a loved one.她使我接触到所有够得着的或者感觉得到的东西,如阳光呀,丝绸摆动时的沙沙声呀,昆虫的叫声呀,开门的吱嗄声呀,亲人的说话声呀;十八、Epigram: 警句It states a simple truth pithily有利地 and pungently强烈地. It is usually terse and arouses interest and surprise by its deep insight into certain aspects of human behavior or feeling., save the poor, feel for the poor.十九、Climax: 渐进It is derived from the Greek word for "ladder" and implies the progression of thought at a uniform or almost uniform rate of significance or intensity, like the steps of a ladder ascending evenly.came, I saw, I conquered.二十、Chiasmus回文、交错法两个排比结构中第二个所用的修辞上的倒装She went to Paris; to New York went he.二十一、Paradox似非而是的隽语这是一种貌似矛盾,但包含一定哲理的意味深长的说法消极修辞Passive Rhetoric Techniques 和积极修辞Active~积极修辞Active Rhetoric Techniques有相对固定格式的修辞性写作技巧;常见分类如下：1．词义修辞格Lexical Stylistic Devicesmetaphor比喻, metonymy借代, personification拟人, irony反语, hyperbole夸张,understatement低调, euphemism委婉语, contrast对照, oxymoron矛盾修辞法,transferred epithet移就, pun双关, parody仿拟, paradox隽语2．结构修辞格Syntactical Stylistic Devicesrepetition反复, , chiasmus回文, parallelism平行结构, antithesis对句, rhetoric question设问, anticlimax突降,climax 渐进3．音韵修辞格Phonetic Stylistic Devicesalliteration头韵, onomatopoeia拟声高级英语第五册修辞1.

Metaphors

What’s a Simile?
Similes compare two dissimilar objects, concepts, etc., in order to suggest an unexpected likeness between the two.
Similes can often be distinguished by the presence of one of two code words, ―like‖ and ―as‖.
Analogy

Target – the unknown idea or object; we’re trying to explain it, or at least make it clear Source – the familiar idea or object; we use sources to shed light on the more complicated target

Direction
An easy way to remember the difference between similes and metaphors is to determine whether the writer is trying to be direct.
“The snow is a blanket” is direct; the comparison in “the snow is like a blanket” is by definition more abstract than the equation.
What’s a Simile?
Similes compare two dissimilar objects, concepts, etc., in order to suggest an unexpected likeness between the two.
Similes can often be distinguished by the presence of one of two code words, “like” and “as”.
Personification
Personification involves giving the qualities of animals or persons to inanimate objects – to animate the nonliving.
Once again, figurative language is used to bring images, concepts, or objects to life!
The mind is but a barren soil; a soil which is soon exhausted and will produce no crop, or only one, unless it be continually fertilized and enriched with foreign matter. --Joshua Reynolds

Analogy
Analogies can be separated into two parts.
Target – the unknown idea or object; we’re trying to explain it, or at least make it clear Source – the familiar idea or object; we use sources to shed light on the more complicate ―The snow is a blanket on the earth.‖ Is the snow actually a blanket? No! However, the image the equation creates is a vividly descriptive one – and vivid images are excellent!
Synecdoche: Examples
It is hard to earn a dollar these days. His parents bought him a new set of wheels. Australia beat Canada at Cricket. She was dressed in silks and satins. Spring should vanish with the rose! What a despicable creature he is!
When a verb or phrase is compared to a verb or phrase, as is used:
They remained constantly attentive to their goal, as a sunflower always turns and stays focused on the sun.
Some analogies simply offer an explanation for clarification rather than a substitute argument: Knowledge always desires increase: it is like fire, which must first be kindled by some external agent, but which will afterwards propagate itself. --Samuel Johnson
More Examples
When you compare a noun to a noun, the simile is usually introduced by like:
After such long exposure to the direct sun, the leaves of the houseplant looked like pieces of overcooked bacon. The soul in the body is like a bird in a cage.
Metonymy
The thing chosen for the metaphorical image is closely associated with (but not an actual part of) the subject with which it is to be compared.
Rhetorical Questions
The question is not answered by the writer, because its answer is obvious or obviously desired, and usually just a yes or no. It is used for effect, emphasis, or provocation, or for drawing a conclusionary statement from the facts at hand.
The Hall applauded. He likes to play with the rosy cheeks. She means to marry money. The pen is mightier than the sword. Grey hair should be respected. Will you play me some Chopins? He is the admiration of the whole school.
