18种重要修辞手法一、语义修辞1明喻(simile)俗称直喻,是依据比喻和被比喻两种不同事物的相似关系而构成的修辞格。
例如:a figure of speech in which denotes a simmilarility betwe en things of different kinds.1.The snow was like a white blanket drawn over the field.2.He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.认真观察以上各例,我们会发现它们的特点,由(as)... as, like等引导,这些引导词被称作比喻词(acknowledging word),它们是辨别明喻的最显著的特征,明喻较为直白,比喻物和被比喻物之间相似点较为明显,所以明喻是一种比较好判断的修辞手法。
2暗喻(metaphor)也称隐喻,是依据比喻和被比喻两种不同事物的相似或相关关系而构成的修辞格。
例如:a figure of speech in which refers to sth that denotes literally in order to suggest a similarity.1.His friend has become a thorn in his side.(他的朋友已变成眼中钉肉中刺。
)2.You are your mother’s glass.(你是你母亲的翻版。
)3.Hope is a good breakfast, but it’s a bad supper.由以上各例可知,暗喻没有引导词,这是明喻和暗喻在形式上的最大区别。
换句话说,有为明喻,没有为暗喻。
如:He has a heart of stone. He has a heart like stone.很显然,前句是暗喻,后句是明喻。
oxymoron词根词缀《oxymoron词根词缀》1. 单词概述单词:oxymoron含义:oxymoron是一种修辞手法,指的是将两个看似矛盾、相反的词组合在一起,产生一种独特的、富有深意的表达效果。
比如“jumbo shrimp”(巨型虾,“jumbo”表示巨大的,“shrimp”表示小虾),“living dead”(活死人)等。
这种表达在文学作品、日常用语中都很常见,可以创造出一种诙谐、讽刺或者引人深思的效果。
2. 词根词缀解析词根:oxy - 来源于希腊语,有“尖锐、敏锐”的意思。
例如在“oxygen”(氧气)这个单词中,oxy - 表示氧原子的活性很强,就像尖锐的东西容易产生作用一样。
词缀:- moron,它在希腊语里原本有“愚蠢、迟钝”的意思。
合成逻辑:“oxy -”(尖锐、敏锐)和“- moron”(愚蠢、迟钝)组合在一起,形成了oxymoron这个词,表示一种矛盾的组合,就像把尖锐和迟钝放在一起一样矛盾又奇特,“尖锐的愚蠢= 矛盾组合”。
3. 应用短文与场景应用短文1:English:I was reading a book the other day, and I came across this really interesting oxymoron - "bittersweet". It got me thinking about how life is full of these oxymoronic situations. I was chatting with my friend Tom about it. "Tom," I said, "isn't it crazy how we have words like 'bittersweet'? It's like saying something is both good and bad at the same time." Tom laughed and replied, "Yeah, it's like that time I got a promotion at work but had to move to a new city away from all my friends. It was a happy - sad moment, just like 'bittersweet'." We started coming up with more examples. "What about 'deafening silence'?" I asked. "Oh, that's a great one!" Tom exclaimed. "It's like when you're in a big empty room, and there's no sound at all, but the lack of noise is almost overwhelming. It's as if the silence is so loud it deafens you." This made me realize how oxymorons can really capture the complexity of our feelings and experiences.Chinese translation:前几天我在看书的时候,碰到了一个非常有趣的矛盾修饰法的词——“苦乐参半”。
科三英语中的修辞总结看到题干中有rhetoric device 和figure of speech,要知道是问修辞手法的哦(⊙o⊙)…我今天总结几种常见的,比如提喻(Synecdoche),转喻(Metonymy),比喻,明喻(Simile),暗喻(Metaphor),矛盾修辞法(Oxymoron),夸张(Exaggeration),拟人(Personification),对比(Contrast),双关(Pun),平行法(Parallelism)等等。
还有一些节奏类型rhyming pattern,包括头韵(Alliteration),尾韵(Rhyme),类韵(Assonance),反韵(Reverse rhyme).[2017上半年真题] What rhetoric device is used in the sentence”Many hands make light work”?____(A)A.SynecdocheB.SimileC.MetaphorD.Oxymoron提喻(Synecdoche)部分代替整体或整体代替部分,句中hands是人身体的一部分,用局部代替整体,所以选A.eg:The world treated him badly.”The world ”所指的世界仅代表他的经历。
比喻,明喻(Simile)Eg:The snow is as thick as a blanket.暗喻(Metaphor)Eg: Time is money.矛盾修辞法(Oxymoron)完全反义的关系,比如美丽的错误,残酷的善心...eg:Would you have the cruel kindness to give me aquick death? [2017上半年真题] Which of the following best describes the relation between night and knight? (B)A.Metonymy转喻B.Homonymy同音异义C. Antonymy反义词D.Hyponymy上下关系转喻(Metonymy)就是借用甲来表示乙,但前提条件是甲必须与乙关系密切和本质上有相似之处,比如用华盛顿可以代表美国政府,还有这个例子也比较好懂。
Oxymoron 逆喻矛盾修此法EtymologyInadvertent oxymoronsOxymorons are sometimes inadvertently created by errors or sloppiness in conversation; common examples include extremely average, objective opinion, and original copy.In some cases an inadvertent oxymoron ends up being widely adopted as the name for some concept, in which case it may cease to be recognised as an oxymoron. Cases where this has occurred[citation needed] include bittersweet, virtual reality, and living dead.Oxymorons as punsA great many oxymorons have been popularised in vernacular speech. Unlike literary oxymorons, many of these are not intended to construct a paradox; they are simplypuns. Examples include controlled chaos, open secret and organized mess.[clarif ication needed]There are also many examples where terms that are superficially contradictory are juxtaposed in such as way that there is no contradiction. Examples include same difference,[clarif ication needed]pretty ugly (in which context pretty means rather, not attractive) and hot ice (hot and ice mean "stolen" and "diamonds", respectively, in criminal argot). Whether or not these may legitimately be called oxymorons is debatable.Oxymorons as paradoxesOften a writer will use an oxymoron in order to deliberately call attention to a contradiction. For example Wilfred Owen, in his poem The Send-off refers to soldiers leaving for the front line, who "lined the train with faces grimly gay." In this case the oxymoron grimly gay highlights the contradiction between how the soldiers feel and how they act: though putting on a brave face and acting gay, they actually feel grim.One case where many oxymorons are used together can be found in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, where Romeo declares"O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!"Some paradoxical oxymorons that become cliches:∙Ninja Turtle (because ninjas are fast but turtles are slow)∙Deafening silence∙Sweet sorrow∙Showbiz news∙Forward retreat∙Silent Scream∙Quiet Riot∙Serious Joke。
