英语常用修辞法22种
英语修辞法18种1. 明喻 (Simile)明喻是指为了鲜明地刻画某一事，将具有某种共同特征的两种事物加以对比。
它由本体、喻体和比喻词组成。
常用的比喻词有as、like、as if、as though、as... as、similar to、to bear a resemblance to等等。
明喻能使深奥的哲理变得浅显易懂。
1.A man without religion is like a horse without a bridle. 人无信仰，犹如马无缰绳。
e a book as a bee does flowers.读书如蜜蜂采蜜。
3.Beauty without virtue is like a rose without scent.美而无德犹如花无香味。
2. 暗喻 (Metaphor)暗喻亦称为“隐喻”，它同明喻一样，也是在两个不同类对象之间进行比喻，区别在于：明喻把本体和喻体说成是相似的，而暗喻则把两者说成是一致的；明喻中有比喻词，而暗喻中不用比喻词。
1.A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever. 好书如相伴终生的挚友。
2.A dwarf on a giant’s shoulders sees the farther of the two.侏儒站在巨人的肩上，会看得更远。
3.A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime.一日为师，终身为父。
3.类比 (Analogy)类比是一种阐述事理的修辞格，即用人们熟悉的事例说明较深的道理，或通过具体形象阐明抽象的概念。
它主要是把两种本质上不同的事物之间的共同点加以比较。
1.Judicious praise is to children what the sun is to flowers. 明智的赞扬对于孩子的作用，就像阳光对于花朵的作用一样。

考点3 固定搭配中的冠词 固定搭配或抽象名词具体化的名词前用冠词 (1)定冠词用在固定搭配中，如：
at the same time, on the contrary, to tell the truth, in the distance, make the most/best of, on the spot等。
答案与解析：a a knowledge of为固定搭配，意为“对……的了解”。
快捷思维
考点1 不定冠词a、 an
分析句子结构， 发现空格后有单数可数名词，搭配后表示泛指时， 应考虑不定冠词a/an。
(1)在文中第一次提到可数名词单数时，表泛指时，用不定冠词a/an； (2)在序数词前，表示“又一，再一”时，用不定冠词a/an； (3) a一般用于发音以辅音音素开头的名词前，an一般用于发音以元 音音素开头的名词前(注意：并不是指辅音字母或者元音字母开头的 单词)。 ①一些以辅音字母开头，但是发元音的单词如：honour, hour, umbrella, unusual, honest等用an； ②一些以元音字母开头，但是发辅音的单词如：university, useful, useless, united, European, oneway等用a。
Truth—A Special Exhibition of Pu'er Tea. [分析] 第一步：确定填代词。分析句子成分可知，空格在名词之前，
作定语。 第二步：判断代词的形式。it指代前面提到的The Chinese Ancient Tea
Museum，由后面的first exhibition可知，此处要填形容词性物主代词。 [答案] __its__
答案与解析：them 考查代词。句意：要普及这种新的旅游趋势还需要一段时 间，而且价格必须保持竞争力，以确保普通游客能够负担得起。分析句意可知， 这里指代的是复数名词the prices且动词afford后接宾语，所以用人称代词的宾格形 式。

英语禁忌语大全
英语禁忌语大全A第一个词是cock。
这个词是一开始学英语就学到的基本词汇之一，大家都知道它是“公鸡”的意思，可是在美语里，最好就不要用它了，因为它的意思早就不是“公鸡”了。
在俚语里面，它指的是男性生殖器。
比如你要说：“他有两只公鸡。
”，千万不要说：He has two cocks。
这样一定会让人误解的。
那么用哪个词表达“公鸡”的意思呢？这时候，Rooster就是最好的选择了。
例如你要说：“我是鸡年生的。
”，就可以说：I was born in the year of rooster.说到这里，我就想起在美国的一些中国餐馆里，经常看到垫餐盘的纸上印着中国十二生肖的介绍。
而有很多在“鸡年”的介绍里，用的就是cock这个词，大概有不止一次看到老美读这一段的时候讪笑了。
还有一个需要注意的词是rubber。
学英语的时候我们知道它是“橡皮”的意思，但在美语里面，说“橡皮”用的是eraser，而不是rubber。
Rubber在美式口语里有三个意思，第一个意思指的是“轮胎”，也就是automobile tire或者tire。
例如一个人说：The rubber on my car is ruined.她的意思就是：我车子的轮胎已经被毁了。
Rubber的第二个用法是rubber check，指的就是“假支票”，或者那种支票上的金额大于银行存款的支票。
Rubber的最后一个意思指的就是“避孕套”。
如果一个人说：He always carries a rubber“just in case”.千万不要把这句话理解为：“他总是随身携带橡皮，以防万一”。
这句话的实际意思是：“他总是随身携带避孕套以防万一”。
可见，好多不能乱用的词语是和“性”有关的。
这些词语一旦用错了，不仅会引起不必要的误会，还很有可能影响个人形象。
所以最好的办法就是先看看老美是怎么用的，并在学习过程中不断积累。
第一章什么是不能说出口的英语：禁忌语与俚语a.禁忌语与俚语本书介绍的语言，在英语是属于淫秽的语言(obscene language)，也可以说是脏话(dirty words)。

Do you like to go to the zoo？ Almost everybody likes to look at animals or hunt animals or play with animals or draw animals or eat animals. A man named Barye liked to make statues of animals.Barye lived in Paris. He worked in a jewelry shop and was a goldsmith as were so many of the Renaissance sculptors of Florence. But Barye lived much later than the Renaissance. He lived in the 1800's.Barye loved to go to the zoo in Paris. He used to take paper and crayons to the zoo and draw pictures of the animals. Then he would go home and make little statues of the animals he had drawn. When he was at work in the jewelry shop， he often made tiny gold animals for watch chains and necklaces and bronze animals to go on clocks. In this way Barye practiced until he became the best animal sculptor of his time in the world.你喜欢去动物园吗？几乎所有人都会喜欢动物吧，只不过有的人喜欢看动物，有的人喜欢猎获动物，有的人喜欢和动物玩，有的人喜欢画动物，还有的人喜欢吃动物肉。

Once there was an emperor in the Far East who was growing old and knew it was coming time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or one of his own children, he decided to do something different.He called all the young people in the kingdom together one day. He said, "It has come time for me to step down and to choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you." The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today. One seed. It is a very special seed. I want you to go home, plant the seed, water it and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring to me, and the one I choose will be the next emperor of the kingdom!"There was one boy named Ling who was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly told his mother the whole story. She helped him get a pot and some planting soil, and he planted the seed and watered it carefully. Every day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.After about three weeks, some of the other youths began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Ling kept going home and checking his seed, but nothing ever grew. Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by. Still nothing.By now others were talking about their plants but Ling didn't have a plant, and he felt like a failure. Six months went by, still nothing in Ling's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Ling didn't say anything to his friends, however. He just kept waiting for his seed to grow.A year finally went by and all the youths of the kingdom brought their plants to the emperor for inspection. Ling told his mother that he wasn't going to take an empty pot. But she encouraged him to go, and to take his pot, and to be honest about what happened. Ling felt sick to his stomach, but he knew his mother was right. He took his empty pot to the palace.When Ling arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by all the other youths. They were beautiful, in all shapes and sizes. Ling put his empty pot on the floor and many of the other kinds laughed at him. A few felt sorry for him and just said, "Hey nice try."When the emperor arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted the young people. Ling just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the emperor. "Today, one of you will be appointed the next emperor!"All of a sudden, the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the room with his empty pot. He ordered his guards to bring him to the front. Ling was terrified. "The emperor knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me killed!"When Ling got to the front, the Emperor asked his name. "My name is Ling," he replied. All the kids were laughing and making fun of him. The emperor asked everyone to quiet down. He looked at Ling, and then announced to the crowd, "Behold your new emperor! His name is Ling!" Ling couldn't believe it. Ling couldn't even grow his seed. How could he be the new emperor?Then the emperor said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone here a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds which would not grow. All of you, except Ling, have brought me trees and plants and flowers. When you found that the seed would not grown, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Ling was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new emperor!"从前在遥远的东方，有一位皇帝，随着岁月的流逝，年事已高的他意识到该是找一个继任者的时候了。
相对于从自己的肱股之臣和儿子们中间做出选择，他决定采取一个截然不同的方式。
一天，他把全国的年轻人召集到一起。
并对他们说：“到了我该让位给新君的时候了。
我决定从你们当中选择一个人作为这个国家未来的主宰。
”在场的年轻人们惊讶极了，但这丝毫没有影响到老皇帝，他继续说，“今天我会发给你们每个人一粒种子，这可不是普通的种子。
我要求你们每个人回去种下它，浇水施肥，好生照看，一年之后，带着你们的成果来见我。
我会视你们栽培出的东西的情况从你们中间挑选出我的继承人，我选中的人就是新皇帝！”当时在场的有个叫凌（Ling）的年轻人，他也拿到了一粒种子。
他迫不及待地赶回家把这件激动人心的事情告诉了他的母亲，后者为他找来了盆和需要的泥土，凌把种子种了下去，细心照料。
每天他都会为种子浇水，看看它是否生长了。
大约三周后，一些年轻人开始谈论彼此的种子和它们将要长成什么样的植物。
凌总是会回家照看种子，看看它发芽了没有，但是什么都没有发生。
三周，四周，五周，依然如此。
周围的人都在谈论彼此的植物，但是只有凌什么也没有种出来，他感到沮丧极了。
六个月过去了，凌的花盆里还是光秃秃的，他开始怀疑是不是自己的种子已经死了。
除他以外，所有人都种出了大树或者茂盛的植物。
凌没有和朋友们说起种子的事情，只是一心一意等着种子发芽。
一年之期终于到了，年轻人们都带着自己的成果去接受老皇帝的评判。
