高级英语学习中易混淆的修辞对比分析
62021年27期总第571期ENGLISH ON CAMPUS高级英语学习中易混淆的修辞对比分析文/曲臻禛【摘要】从高级英语教学目标和要求来看，修辞是教与学过程中的一个重难点。
为帮助学生更好地理解分辨常用修辞，进而提高阅读理解能力、鉴赏能力及写作水平，文章结合《现代大学英语精读5》实例，对学生易混淆的几组修辞进行了对比分析。
除此之外，文章还探索了修辞难以掌握的原因，探讨了英语修辞的教学策略，希望可以为修辞教学提供一些新思路。
【关键词】高级英语；修辞；对比分析【作者简介】曲臻禛，河南农业大学外国语学院。
【基金项目】本文系2019年度河南农业大学教学改革研究与实践项目“新文科视域下高等农业院校语言服务人才培养模式研究与实践”系列研究成果之一。
高级英语是本科英语专业高年级学生的一门专业必修课程，通过阅读和分析题材丰富的文章，培养学生对名篇的鉴赏以及独立思考能力，提高学生语言技能。
然而欣赏作品的途径之一便是理解文中所用修辞，这恰巧是学生学习过程中的一个难点。
本文选用梅仁毅主编的《现代大学英语精读5》第二版教材中的常见修辞，结合学生反馈，对其容易混淆的修辞进行了对比分析，以期加深学生对修辞的理解，提高修辞辨别能力及赏析能力。
一、 修辞难以掌握的原因在教学实践中，学生往往不能快速掌握修辞概念及其应用。
原因是多方面的，除自身语言基础薄弱，阅读理解能力有限之外，一方面由于英汉语言及文化差异造成表达习惯不同，学生可能不了解相关背景知识，因此很难辨别或灵活运用某些修辞手法，例如“典故”，教学过程中发现学生虽了解该修辞的基本含义，但由于相关背景知识缺失，故不能做出准确判断。
另一方面，学生对修辞概念了解不到位，对修辞的使用不够敏感，不能将修辞与实例快速联系在一起。
有时虽然掌握了修辞手法的特点及表达定式，但忽略了具体语境与意义，造成误判。
例如，在文章中看到“as/like”这样的字眼，便会下意识觉得使用了“明喻”，但“as”也有“作为……”的含义，因此学生可能忽略了这些词在句中的具体含义，做出错误判断。
高英暗喻
Metaphor: 暗喻【摘要】：暗喻是英语中的一种非常重要的修辞手法。
本文从基本理论分析暗喻，继而通过举例论证暗喻。
[Abstract]:metaphor is one of important rhetoric in english. This paper tries to analyse the Metaphor by fundamental theory and F Metaphor这个词在词典中既是广义的比喻，又是狭义的暗喻。
现在主要讲的是狭义的metaphor。
它是一种隐含着比喻的修辞格，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。
（metaphor is a figure of speech containing an implied comparison, in which a word or phrase ordinarily and primarily used of one thing is applied to another.）其主要的特点是比喻的本体（tenor）和喻体（vehicle）之间不用as，like，as if 这一类比喻词作为媒介。
暗喻是一种强而有力的艺术表现力和感染力，在《马克.吐温—美国的一面镜子》一文中被广泛使用。
（这篇文章作者是马克·吐温（Mark Twain），他是美国的幽默大师、小说家、作家，也是著名演说家，19世纪后期美国现实主义文学的杰出代表。
曾被誉为：文学史上的林肯。
他写的作品熔幽默与讽刺一体，既富于独特的个人机智与妙语，又不乏深刻的社会洞察与剖析，既是幽默辛辣的小的杰作，又是悲天悯人的严肃! 他的代表作是《百万英镑》）这篇文章的标题就运用了暗喻，把Mark Twain 暗喻成Mirror of America。
另外，在文中还有多出运用了暗喻的修辞。
如main artery of transportation in the young nation's heart 以及When railroads began drying up the demand... 等等英语metaphor的运用格式多种多样，它可体现在任何句子成分上，如主语、谓语、表语、定语或状语。
高英-Blackmail原文+翻译+修辞
Blackmail 敲诈Arthur Hailey--阿瑟•黑利○1The chief house officer, Ogilvie, who had declared he would appear at the Croydons suite an hour after his cryptic telephone call actually took twice that time. As a result the nerves of both the Duke and Duchess were excessively frayed when the muted buzzer of the outer door eventually sounded.负责饭店保安工作的欧吉维探长打了那个神秘的，本来说好一个小时后光临克罗伊敦夫妇所住的套房的，可实际上却过了两个小时才到。
结果，当外间门上的电铃终于发出沉闷的嗡嗡声时，公爵夫妇的神经都紧到了极点。
○2The Duchess went to the door herself. Earlier she had dispatched her maid on an invented errand and, cruelly, instructed the moon-faced male secretary – who was terrified of dogs – to exercise the Bedlington terriers. Her own tension was not lessened by the knowledge that both might return at any moment.公爵夫人亲自去开门。
此前她早已借故把女仆支开，并且狠心地给那位脸儿圆圆的、见到狗就怕得要死的男秘书派了一个要命的差事，让他牵着贝德林顿狼犬出去散步。
想到这两个人随时都会回来，她自己的紧情绪怎么也松弛不下来。
Hiroshima高英
[Annotation]
这句话语气非常幽默，日本人一本正经的表情，不断鞠躬的动作，用serious looking和babbed up and down表达出来，生动传神，很好的体现了报告文学 的语言特点。文中类似的幽默表达还有很多，怕丢脸的cab driver,长叹一声的 usher of the City Hall以及作者meeting the mayor in his socks的尴尬等使文 章妙趣横生。
Stunning:（吸引人的，令人震惊 的）
1. strikingly attractive appearance
相貌出众
2. impressive: The actors gave a ~ performance. 3. surprising: The President's final decision came with stunning suddenness.
Metonymy(换喻）借代
Metonymy is a figure of speech that has to do with the substitution of the name of one thing for that of another. This substitution name may be an attribute of that other thing or be closely associated with it.In other words, it involves a change of name. eg. He reads Shakespeare. I’ve never read Homer. 课文里的The rather spectacle of little old Japan adrift amid beige concrete skyscrapers is the very symbol of the struggle between the kimono and the miniskirt.
高英第二册课文译文
高级英语第二册课文翻译及词汇第一课迎战卡米尔号飓风约瑟夫·布兰克小约翰。
柯夏克已料到，卡米尔号飓风来势定然凶猛。
就在去年8月17日那个星期天，当卡米尔号飓风越过墨西哥湾向西北进袭之时，收音机和电视里整天不断地播放着飓风警报。
柯夏克一家居住的地方一—密西西比州的高尔夫港——肯定会遭到这场飓风的猛烈袭击。
路易斯安那、密西西比和亚拉巴马三州沿海一带的居民已有将近15万人逃往内陆安全地带。
但约翰就像沿海村落中其他成千上万的人一样，不愿舍弃家园，要他下决心弃家外逃，除非等到他的一家人一—妻子詹妮丝以及他们那七个年龄从三岁到十一岁的孩子一一眼看着就要灾祸临头。
为了找出应付这场风灾的最佳对策，他与父母商量过。
两位老人是早在一个月前就从加利福尼亚迁到这里来，住进柯夏克一家所住的那幢十个房间的屋子里。
他还就此征求过从拉斯韦加斯开车来访的老朋友查理?希尔的意见。
约翰的全部产业就在自己家里(他开办的玛格纳制造公司是设计、研制各种教育玩具和教育用品的。
公司的一切往来函件、设计图纸和工艺模具全都放在一楼)。
37岁的他对飓风的威力是深有体会的。
四年前，他原先拥有的位于高尔夫港以西几英里外的那个家就曾毁于贝翠号飓风(那场风灾前夕柯夏克已将全家搬到一家汽车旅馆过夜)。
不过，当时那幢房子所处的地势偏低，高出海平面仅几英尺。
“我们现在住的这幢房子高了23英尺，，’他对父亲说，“而且距离海边足有250码远。
这幢房子是1915年建造的。
至今还从未受到过飓风的袭击。
我们呆在这儿恐怕是再安全不过了。
”老柯夏克67岁．是个语粗心慈的熟练机械师。
他对儿子的意见表示赞同。
“我们是可以严加防卫。
度过难关的，”他说?“一但发现危险信号，我们还可以赶在天黑之前撤出去。
”为了对付这场飓风，几个男子汉有条不紊地做起准备工作来。
自米水管道可能遭到破坏，他们把浴盆和提俑都盛满水。
飓风也可能造成断电，所以他们检查r手提式收音机和手电筒里的电池以及提灯里的燃料油。
