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。

高中英语作文高级表达与修辞手法应用练习题40题(带答案)1. Read the following sentence from a student's English composition: "The stars in the sky are very bright." Which of the following is a better way to rewrite it using simile?A. The stars in the sky are like diamonds, very bright.B. The stars in the sky are bright as if they are shiny things.C.

运用明喻,暗喻,拟人,写大学生活英语作文全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Big Brothers and Sisters at Uni-VilleUni-Ville is a super cool place where my big bros and sistars go to learn and have fun! It's like a magical kingdom full of tall buildings that reach up and tickle the clouds. Those buildings are called "dorms" and that's where the uni-villagers live when they're not in "class" trying to stuff their brains full of smarts.My oldest sister Jessica is a uni-villager, and she's like a busy little bee always buzzing around from place to place. She wakes up at the crack of dawn when the sun is just a sleepy little guy peeking over the horizon. The alarm clock lets out an angry "BRRRINNGGG!" noise that sounds like a groovy rooster with a sore throat. Jess hops out of her tiny bed that's not much bigger than a cramped little birdhouse.After giving her wild bedhead hair a good taming with a brush, she zips down to the "caf" for some grub. The caf is like a magical food forest with all sorts of yummy trees bearing fruit, except the trees are called "bars" and the fruit is pizza, burgers,fries and all that good stuff. Jess's favorite is the pancake tree that's always dripping with thick, gooey syrup! She stuffs her belly full of pancake clouds before buzzing off to her day of classes.The uni-ville classes are like giant cinemas with anuber-smart professor on the big stage acting out all the facts and figures. Jess's hand gets a serious workout from furiously scribbling down notes on her squirmy notepad that never wants to stay still. Sometimes it's like the notepad is a hyper little puppy, trying to wiggle away from her pencil. After sitting through a triple-header of intense brain-stuffing classes, Jess's hair is extra fuzzy and her head feels like it's going to pop from being so full!When the bell rings, it's like a starting gun that releases a stampede of hungry uni-villagers from their classes. They charge towards the caf like a herd of hungry bison, making a thunderous rumbling noise that could shake the whole campus! Jess and her best frens like to hang out in the nest, which is actually just the comfy couches in the uni-ville lounge. They call it the nest because they love cuddling up there and chillin' like a bunch of baby birds.After maxing and relaxing, it's time to burn off some steam! Jess and her crew gear up for a friendly battle on the rec fields of pain and glory. One minute they're kicking or throwing an obedient little ball around, and the next minute that sneaky ball turns into a real trickster, jumping and darting everywhere! Those balls have serious attitude problems.As the sun grows tired and sinks behind the horizon to take a nap, the party animals of uni-ville come out to play. The dorms transform into boomin' clubs with colors flashing everywhere like a kaleidoscope galaxy. The music has such a powerful heartbeat that it makes the whole room pulsate to the rhythm. Jess and her pack love to get footloose and fancy-free on the dance floor, going full-out beast mode until they're a sweaty, panting, rained-out mess!Finally, when the night life starts to yawn and stretch its sleepy arms, it's back to the shoebox... I mean, dorm room. Those mystical buildings are like giants with endless floors of tiny rooms stacked on top of each other. Jess's room is so micro that her bed is a mere slip of a thing, like a little catnap cot for felines. She has just enough space to snap off her wired-up computer and dive into another dimension full of adventure, fantasy, or mind-bending homework.At last, when Jess's overstuffed brain has reached its limit, it's time for the daily reboot and recharge that us humans call "sleep". She wraps herself up like a snuggly lil' caterpillar in a cocoon of blankets and drifts off to dreamland. As her mind journals through strange other worlds, her body rests up for another action-packed day in the busy, brilliant, non-stopthrill-ride that is uni-ville living!篇2The Big Kid SchoolWow, university is like a whole new world! It's like being a little fish who gets put into the great big ocean after living in a tiny fishbowl. My hometown of Littleville was just a small puddle compared to the raging river that is college life.The campus itself is a maze, with buildings that look like mighty castles stretching their academic arms out to embrace all the students. The library stands like a wise old owl, its bookshelves stuffed with more knowledge than my little brain could ever drink in. And the student union is like a lively monster that never sleeps, filled with the laughter and chatter of kids who are discovering who they really are.My classes are like entering different planets each day. English lit is like stepping into a dark forest where the trees whisper ancient stories. Calculus is more like crash-landing on an alien planet where nothing makes sense at first. And Biology is a wild jungle teeming with more plants and critters than I ever imagined existed.The professors are like these class planets' supreme overlords. Some rule with an iron fist, littering their lectures with formulas and dates that bog down our brains like quicksand. But the really awesome ones are like warm suns, shining a light to illuminate our minds and burning away our ignorance.Living away from my parents is like being a baby bird that has been pushed out of the nest. I've got my cute little dorm room where I can spread my wings, but man is it scary trying to figure out how to fly on my own! Feeding myself is like landing in dumpsters since I can barely scramble eggs without spraying them all over the walls. And doing laundry is like playing that game where you have to match all the socks - I just get tangled up in a whirlpool of clothes.But I'm finally getting the hang of this soaring solo thing. Like a baby sea turtle leaving its nest on the beach and heading into the vast ocean, there's a big scary world out there. But theblissful freedom of swimming wherever I want makes all the hard work worth it.My new friends are like a whole other species that I've encountered on this journey. Just like animals use different calls to communicate, we all seem to come from completely different tribes. There are the party animals who love growling all night long. The egghead bookworms who just want to quietly graze on literature all day. And the bright and colorful peacocks who sprut around like they own the place. But we're slowly figuring out how to connect and form our own little pack.Dating in college is like navigating an exotic rainforest at night with just a tiny flashlight to guide you. One wrong turn and you could stumble into a toxic patch of leeches looking to suck your lifeblood. Or you could discover a magnificent flower that fills your soul with sweet nectar. It's an adventure either way, even if you sometimes feel like you're being nibbled to death by a thousand ants with each rejection.Working at the dining hall to pay my way is like being just one of the little ants myself. I mindlessly lug heavy trays back and forth like I'm storing up seeds for the winter. The lunch ladies are like our cruel insect overlords, barking orders and smacking our hands away from the tasty fruit if we steal even a crumb.Overall, college is one big incredible hike through an unmapped jungle. There have definitely been some quicksand pits and venomous snakes to avoid along the way. But the breathtaking vistas of personal growth and exploration make it all worth climbing this mountain one step at a time. I'm finally seeing the world from a whole new perspective up here instead of just looking at it through a small dirty window. Sure, I may just be a tiny speck in the vast ecosystem of life. But this log ride has opened up my eyes and helped me blossom into the strong, independent tree I someday hope to become.篇3The Grand Adventure of University LifeUniversity was like stepping into a magical world, filled with endless possibilities and challenges. The campus itself was a vibrant kingdom, with majestic buildings standing tall like noble knights guarding the realm of knowledge.On my first day, I felt like a young explorer venturing into uncharted territory. The winding paths were like tangled vines leading me deeper into the heart of this academic jungle. Everywhere I looked, there were new sights and sounds to discover, each one more fascinating than the last.The lecture halls were mystical caves, where wise professors imparted their ancient wisdom upon篇4The Magical Campus: A Fairytale University ExperienceOnce upon a time, there was a young student named Emily who was about to begin her adventure at University. The campus was like a magical kingdom, full of wonders and surprises waiting to be discovered.As Emily stepped through the grand entrance gates, she felt like she was walking into a storybook. The towering buildings were like mighty castles, their walls adorned with intricate designs and patterns that seemed to whisper tales of knowledge and wisdom.The first few days were a whirlwind of excitement and confusion. Emily had to navigate through a maze of unfamiliar faces and places, feeling like a tiny mouse in a giant's world. But soon enough, she found her way, and the campus began to feel like a cozy, welcoming home.In her classes, Emily encountered professors who were like wise wizards, casting spells of knowledge upon their students.Their words were like enchanted scrolls, unraveling secrets and opening doors to realms of understanding.The library was a sacred temple, housing ancient tomes and modern manuscripts alike. Its shelves were like friendly guardians, eagerly waiting to share their treasures with those who sought them out. Emily would often lose herself among the stacks, her mind wandering through distant lands and times, carried by the wings of words.The cafeteria was a vibrant marketplace, bustling with the chatter of students from all walks of life. The aromas of exotic cuisines danced through the air, tempting Emily's taste buds with their tantalizing melodies. It was like a grand feast, where friendships were forged and stories were shared over steaming plates of deliciousness.The campus itself was a living, breathing entity, its heartbeat pulsing through the veins of pathways and corridors. The trees were like wise elders, their branches stretching skyward, whispering secrets of seasons past. The fountains were like playful nymphs, their waters dancing and splashing in anever-ending symphony of joy.Emily's friends were like a band of adventurers, embarking on quests of discovery and self-discovery. They laughed together,cried together, and conquered challenges side by side, their bonds growing stronger with each passing day.Late-night study sessions were like epic battles against the forces of procrastination and fatigue. Emily and her comrades would huddle around their books, their pens like mighty swords, slaying dragons of ignorance one equation or essay at a time.Weekends were like magical escapes, where Emily could explore the wonders of the surrounding city or simply bask in the tranquility of the campus grounds. The parties were like grand balls, where music and laughter reigned supreme, and memories were etched into the halls of time.As the semesters flew by, Emily blossomed like a vibrant flower, her petals unfurling with each lesson learned and experience gained. The campus had become her second home, a sanctuary where she could grow, dream, and discover her true self.Graduation day arrived like a bittersweet farewell, a moment of joy and sadness intertwined. Emily had conquered the enchanted realm of University, emerging as a wiser and more resilient soul, ready to embark on new adventures in the great wide world beyond.As she looked back upon her time on the magical campus, Emily smiled, knowing that the stories and lessons she had gathered would forever be woven into the tapestry of her life. For in that realm of learning and wonder, she had not only gained knowledge but also discovered the true magic within herself.篇5The Great Big University AdventureThe first day I stepped onto the huge campus, I felt like a tiny ant exploring a giant's picnic. The red brick buildings towered over me like looming skyscrapers, and the grassy quads stretched out like vast green oceans. I was just a little fish in a massive pond!My dorm room became my little nest, a cozy hideaway to rest my head after long days of flying around the academic jungle. The twinbed was just right for my small frame, though I had to be careful not to fall out like Humpty Dumpty! My desk was my trusty little workstation where I tackled mountains of homework each night.Classes were an adventure unto themselves. The lecture halls felt like great caverns where the professor's voice echoed off thewalls as they imparted wisdom and knowledge. I was a young sapling drinking in rays of sunshine! Each subject was a colorful new world to explore - mathematics was the land of numbers, biology was the bustling city of cells, and literature was an enchanted forest of words and stories.My classmates came from all corners of the globe, making the campus a virtual United Nations. We were a big, diverse family adopting all kinds of traditions, appearances, and personalities under one roof. Despite our differences, we shared a thirst for learning that united us like brothers and sisters.In between hitting the books, there was plenty of excitement around campus. The sports teams were our university's brave knights who battled rival schools on the fields and courts. I loved cheering them on, waving my pennant and chanting with my fellow brave soldiers. The student clubs were like bustling villages where you could explore any interest from art to zoology.Of course, no university journey would be complete without the food! The dining halls were our modern- day castles where we feasted like kings and queens morning, noon, and night. The pizza was always piping hot from the ovens, the salad bar was anendless garden of fresh veggies, and the soft-serve machine was a magic fountain of frozen delight.As my years at university went by, I watched myself change just like the seasons outside my window. I entered as a little seedling fresh from high school, unsure of myself and my path. With each passing semester, I stretched my branches further, growing in knowledge, confidence, and life experience. By graduation day, I had blossomed into a strong, mature tree ready to take on the world.Those precious university days were over in a blink of an eye. Soon I'd be leaving my beloved campus behind to start a new adventure. I knew part of my heart would always remain in those hallowed halls where I came of age and forged so many beautiful memories and friendships as lasting as oak trees. My alma mater gave me the roots and wings to soar toward great heights.I think back to that first day when I arrived feeling like a speck in the grand scheme of things. Now as I knot my shoelaces one last time and gaze out at those grand buildings, I feel like a giant myself, knowing I helped add a fresh ring to the mighty trunk of this place. The little ant has become the architect, weaving her own story into the great tapestry of her university. And this is just the beginning of my odyssey!篇6My Big Adventures at Huge SchoolWow, let me tell you all about my super awesome big brother Zack who just started at Huge School! Huge School is like a giant castle filled with endless hallways, tall towers, and thousands of rooms. It's so massive that you could fit my whole elementary school inside of just the cafeteria!When Zack first arrived, he was just a little fish swimming into a vast ocean of unfamiliar waters. The campus was like a sprawling maze, and all the buildings seemed to loom over him like giants ready to swallow him whole. But my brave big bro didn't let the size of Huge School intimidate him one bit!On his first day, the alarm clock rudely awoke him at the crack of dawn, screaming "Time to rise and shine, sleepyhead!" Poor Zack's eyes were still crusty as he stumbled out of his tiny dorm room, which was no bigger than a broom closet. The hallway was already flooded with a tidal wave of students scurrying this way and that like a frantic ant colony.After following the crowd, Zack found his first class was located in the Colossal Building. This edifice stood like an ancient pyramid, endlessly stretching its stony fingers into the sky. Mybrother felt like a mere speck as he passed through the gigantic arched doorway. The cavernous lecture hall inside could easily fit an entire herd of hungry elephants.Zack scurried to find a seat, his footsteps echoing like pattering raindrops across the slick floor. The seats formed an endless ocean of brown ripples, with each wooden desktop rising like a daunting island cliff face. When the professor strode in, his voice was a deafening boom of rolling thunder that shook the very room. Zack attentively listened while furiously scribbling notes as the wise lecturer's words descended like pelting hailstones.After that mind-melting experience, he stumbled out of the Colossal Building in a dazed stupor. The unforgiving sunlight glared upon him like a judgmental tycoon assessing his inadequacies. But suddenly, the heavens released a refreshing downpour of rain that playfully splashed against Zack's face and breathed life back into his weary soul.Over in the fabled cathedral known as the Ravenous Pit (the dining hall), mascara tears of grease and oil streamed down the once porcelain faces of plates and platters. Scorching steam billowed upwards like an angry dragon's fiery breath, while the clamorous din of hungry students devoured in packs, theirclattering utensils like dueling swords. Zack cautiously entered this culinary madhouse, the aroma bombarding his nostrils like mustard gas.And let's not forget the mythical sanctuary named Club Sanctum, where the rowdy Greeks congregate at night! Here, deafening bass speakers pulsed and throbbed like a fearsome beast's rapidly beating heart. Radiant neon lights slashed through the smoky haze, illuminating undulating bodies moving hypnotically as one pulsing organism. Energy drinks were greedily guzzled while mysterious substances were hungrily snorted up ravenous nostrils by those seeking to fuel their primal bacchanalia. Zack usually avoids this place though, as he prefers hitting the books and being a good boy.So as you can see, college is like one gigantic, never-ending adventure for my big bro! Every day is filled with colossal obstacles to conquer and monumental challenges to overcome. But through it all, Zack remains dauntless - pushing forward like a brave knight on an epic quest. I'm so proud of how fearlessly he's embracing this staggering new world that used to be foreign and imposing. Before you know it, he'll be a full-fledged university graduate, ready to wield his hard-earned diploma like an enchanted sword and take on the real world!。
