Analogy,simile,metapor的对比

Analogy,simile,metapor的对比

3.类比的作用
• 类比可通过许多平行的相似来扩展，来说服读者由于两件 事物在许多方面很相似，一件事物得出的结论暗示另一种 事物也可得出同样的结论。另外，类比的事物通常是人们 熟悉的。 • Now, compare: Reading is the food of the mind. (metaphor) Reading is to the mind what food is to the body. (analogy)
4. Analogy is usually constructed in the following patterns:
② If love were what the rose is, And I were like the leaf, Our lives would grow together In sad or singing weather, Blown fields or flowerful closes, … If love were what the rose is, And I were like the leaf.
类比Analogy
1. Definition
• Analogy(类比)：将两个本质上不同的事物就其共同点进行比较，是 通过比喻手法的综合运用帮助说明道理或描述某种复杂情况。 • It is a form of comparison, but unlike simile or metaphor which usually uses comparison on one point of resemblance, analogy draws a parallel between two unlike things that have several common qualities or points of resemblance. • 例：Appropriate praise to a child is what the sun is to a flower. • 恰当的赞扬对孩子的作用，就像阳光对于花朵的作用一样。

“Metaphor”与“Simile”在高考作文中的运用

“Metaphor”与“Simile”在高考作文中的运用

“Metaphor”与“Simile”在高考作文中的运用作者：唐开斌来源：《中学生英语·外语教学与研究》2015年第06期【摘要】明喻、暗喻等修辞手法在汉语作文中常被使用的修辞格，在高考英语作文中同样不容忽视。

本文从高考作文的类型分析，论述Metaphor与Simile的使用方法和策略，使英语作文因修辞而富有艺术魅力。

【关键词】高中英语 Metaphor Simile 高考作文修辞是文章要实现某种表达目的或效果而采用的方法和表现手法。

修辞在语文作文中常被使用，但在英语作文中却很少被运用。

本文重点论述高中英语书面表达、乃至高考书面表达中巧妙运用Metaphor和Simile的必要性和主要策略。

1. 高考英语作文使用Metaphor和Simile的必要性近几年的高考英语书面表达，根据写法和形式，无外乎四种形式，即记叙、描写、说明和议论说理。

无论是记叙文、描写性的文章，还是说明文和议论文，如果在文章中巧妙使用比喻、拟人等修辞手法，一定会使文章彰显魅力。

1.1 SimileSimile是明喻，直喻。

通常情况由as， like， as if连接，句式为A is like B。

如想表达“我很高兴”这个句子，多数学生会直译为I am very happy. 而如果用My heart is like a singing bird （我的心像鸟儿一样在歌唱），巧妙的比喻则把快乐之情表达得淋漓尽致。

1.2 MetaphorMetaphor是暗喻、隐喻之意，没有明显的连接词，通常使用A is B。

如The mind is an ocean的使用，给读者留mind和ocean之间的联想的空间，效果不言而喻。

学习和阅读了莫泊桑的“The necklace”，文中的玛蒂尔德通过十年的辛劳终于买了一条钻石项链还给好友后的快乐心情。

可用“Mathilde danced and danced，floating on a cloud of joy.”或“Mathilde danced and danced，extremely happy.”来表达，但前一句比后一句更能表达玛蒂尔德高兴至极。

• 4) Branching metaphor
• The branching metaphor is popular with reporters and journalists, who often make the basic comparison the title of an article, as in: • Is Tsingtao winning the cold war? … Tsingtao has taken the offensive and invaded Russian vodka strongholds previously regarded as secure. Ad.in The New York Times Magazine Mar.23,1980
• 5) Mixed mataphors • Mixed metaphors can produce very amusing and illogical Imagery, and are to be strictly avoided. It is surprising, however, how easily sometimes they blunder into speech and writing. Students make this mistake, as in:
• As +adj.+ as + n. (the former “as” can be omitted): • (as) blind as a bat 目光如豆 • (as) cool as cucumber 泰然自若 • (as) cold as a marble 冷若冰霜 • (as) busy as a bee 像蜜蜂一样忙 • (as) firm as a rock 坚如磐石 • (as) light as a rock 轻如鸿毛 • (as) mute as an oyster 噤若寒蝉 • (as) strong as a horse 健壮如牛 • Idioms: • Like a duck to water 如鱼得水 • Like a hen on a hot griddle 像热锅上的蚂蚁 • Like a cat in a hole 瓮中之鳖

常用英语修辞手法

常用英语修辞手法

☛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。

metaphor

metaphor

Metaphor, mode of thinking and culture
• Love is a physical force. • Love is magic. • Love is war. • Love is a patient.
• Time is a moving object. • Time is money. • Time is a limited resource. • Time is a commodity.
• He _____ down his breakfast before it
was too late for class.
• They _____ together in a mean hut. • Don’t _____ me! • Passengers on the bus _____ their
Jim is a fox. How to understand “Jim is a fox”? What’s the relationship between Jim and the fox?
So, a metaphor requires greater ability on the part of the reader to perceive the hidden association, the insight into
heads out of the windows to see what was happening.
• Tony saw a policeman coming, and _____
behind a car.
• pig wolf duck crane fox

英音：['simili]美音：['sɪmə,lɪ]
definition

5."idiom" pattern: (1). We mended our fences. 我们重修旧好。 (2). Failure is the mother of success. 失败乃成功之母 (3). Time is money. 时间就是金钱
Differences between simile and metaphor ◆ Structure ◆ Element
1.The definition of metaphor
A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily and primarily denotes one thing is applied to another in an implied comparison.
(1).Comparison is implied. (2).It is also a comparison between two unlike elements with a similar quality. But unlike a simile, this comparison is implied, not expressed with the word "as" or "like". (3).Metaphor compares two different things by speaking of one in terms of the other. Unlike a simile or analogy, metaphor asserts that one thing is another thing, not just that one is like another.
