(精心整理)英语修辞例子

修辞不仅仅在中⽂⾥很常见，在英⽂⾥也是多种多样。

这篇⽂章⾥，我们就来谈⼀谈英⽂中常见的修辞⼿法。

常见的英语修辞 1.simile明喻 A simile is a figure of speech in which two fundamentally unlike things are explicitly compared, usually in a phrase introduced by like or as. 明喻是常⽤as或like等词将两种不同事物通过⽐较⽽连接起来的⼀种修辞⼿法。

让我们看⼏个例⼦： Good coffee is like friendship: rich and warm and strong. 好的咖啡如同友谊，丰厚，温暖，热烈。

Life is rather like opening a tin of sardines. We're all of us looking for the key. ⼈⽣就像⼀罐沙丁鱼，我们⼤家都在找开启的起⼦。

He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen from him to crow. 他这⼈就像⼀只骄傲的公鸡，以为太阳升起是为了它的啼叫。

2.metaphor暗喻 A metaphor is a trope or figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something in common. 暗喻是将两种有共同点的不同事物进⾏隐晦⽐较的修辞⼿法。

明喻与暗喻的不同点就在于是否有出现like或者as(像)这⼀类⽐喻词，下⾯这⼏个句⼦都是暗喻： Humor is the shock absorber of life; it helps us take action. 幽默是⽣活的减震器,它可以⿎舞⼈们付诸于⾏动。

英语修辞手法英语中的修辞与汉语的修辞相比,分类细,种类多.下面将英语的修辞简单介绍如下:Simile 明喻明喻是将具有共性的不同事物或现象作对比。

这种共性存在于人们的心里,而不是事物的自然属性.标志词he had just walked out of a fairy tale.Metaphor隐喻,暗喻隐喻是简缩了的明喻, 不是通过比喻词进行，甲乙两事物之间的联系和相似之处是暗含的。

而是直接将甲事物当作乙事物来描写即将某一事物的名称用于另一事物,通过比较形成。

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.Metonymy 借喻,转喻借喻不直接说出所要说的事物,而使用另一个与之相关的事物名称.I.以容器代替内容1. The kettle boils. 水开了。

2. The room sat silent. 全屋人安静地坐着。

II.以资料.工具代替事物的名称Lend me your ears, please. 请听我说。

III.以作者代替作品a complete Shakespeare莎士比亚全集VI.以具体事物代替抽象概念I had the muscle, and they made money out of it.我有力气,他们就用我的力气赚钱.Synecdoche 提喻又称举隅法，主要特点是用部分代替全体,或用全体代替部分,或特殊代替一般.或以抽象代具体，或以具体代抽象。

men.句中的“the flesh and blood”喻为（巨大的牺牲）2.“tongue”代替抽象的—岁的黑姑娘。

这里的“many eyes”代替了4. There are about 100 (部分代整体)他的厂里约有100名工人。

☛Metaphor — SimileMetaphor和simile都属于比喻，metaphor更像是隐喻和暗喻，Metaphor一般句式为xx (be 动词) xx，不会用到like和as之类的明喻小词，而simile会用上，simile是明喻，simile构造了一个direct comparison。

➸举例：Metaphor:"Life is a journey. Enjoy the Ride."—Nissan"The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas."— Alfred Noyes, "The Highway man"Simile:"She dealt with moral problems as a cleaver deals with meat."—James Joyce, "The Boarding House""You know life, life is rather like opening a tin of sardines. We're all of us looking for the key."—Alan Bennett,Beyond the Fringe, 1960☛Metaphor — MetonymyMetaphor侧重“相似性”，Metonymy侧重“相关性”。

Metonymy是用借体代本体，借代的借体是客观实际中的事物，与本体有关联，它们中间没有比喻关系，重点在指称，Metonymy 是代而不喻。

Metaphor是用喻体(the vehicle)代本体(the tenor)，构成比喻的基础是本体和喻体的相似性，重点在"喻”。

简单来说，metaphor就是make comparisons，而metonym是make associations or substitutions。

)2.暗喻(Metaphor)暗喻也是一种比喻，但不用比喻词，因此被称作缩减了的明喻(a compressed simile)。

它直接把一种事物名称用在另一事物上，从而更生动、更深刻地说明事理，增强语言的表现力。

例如：●What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter? (如果没有这位电子保姆，父母该怎么办呢？)形象地说明了电视机的保姆功用。

●... while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.(……但是我们中的很多人太容易给别人批评的冷风，而不愿意给自己的同伴赞扬的阳光。
