除了最常見(jiàn)的明喻、暗喻、擬人,英語(yǔ)中還有很多修辭手法。有一些可能是你經(jīng)常見(jiàn)到卻沒(méi)有意識(shí)到的。
1. Simile 明喻
明喻是將具有共性的不同事物作對(duì)比。這種共性存在于人們的心里,而不是事物的自然屬性。
標(biāo)志詞常用 like, as, seem, as if, as though, similar to, such as等。
例如:
1). He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.
2). I wandered lonely as a cloud.
3). Einstein only had a blanket on, as if he had just walked out of a fairy tale.
2. Metaphor 隱喻,暗喻
隱喻是簡(jiǎn)縮了的明喻,是將某一事物的名稱用于另一事物,通過(guò)比較形成。
例如:
1). Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.
2). Some books are to be tasted, others swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
3. Metonymy 借喻,轉(zhuǎn)喻
借喻不直接說(shuō)出所要說(shuō)的事物,而使用另一個(gè)與之相關(guān)的事物名稱。
I、以容器代替內(nèi)容,例如:
1).The kettle boils.
水開(kāi)了。
2).The room sat silent.
全屋人安靜地坐著。
II、以資料、工具代替事物的名稱,例如:
Lend me your ears, please.
請(qǐng)聽(tīng)我說(shuō)。
III、以作者代替作品,例如:
a complete Shakespeare 莎士比亞全集
IV、以具體事物代替抽象概念,例如:
I had the muscle, and they made money out of it.
我有力氣,他們就用我的力氣賺錢(qián)。
4. Synecdoche 提喻
提喻用部分代替全體,或用全體代替部分,或特殊代替一般。
例如:
1). There are about 100 hands working in his factory.
(部分代整體)他的廠里約有100名工人。
2). He is the Newton of this century.
(特殊代一般)他是本世紀(jì)的牛頓。
3). The fox goes very well with your cap.
(整體代部分)這狐皮圍脖與你的帽子很相配。
5. Synaesthesia 通感,聯(lián)覺(jué),移覺(jué)
這種修辭法是以視、聽(tīng)、觸、嗅、味等感覺(jué)直接描寫(xiě)事物。通感就是把不同感官的感覺(jué)溝通起來(lái),借聯(lián)想引起感覺(jué)轉(zhuǎn)移,“以感覺(jué)寫(xiě)感覺(jué)”。
例如:
1)The birds sat upon a tree and poured forth their lily like voice.
(用視覺(jué)形容聽(tīng)覺(jué),鳥(niǎo)落在樹(shù)上,由它發(fā)出的聲音聯(lián)想到百合花)
鳥(niǎo)兒落在樹(shù)上,傾瀉出百合花似的聲音。
2)Taste the music of Mozart.
(用嗅覺(jué)形容聽(tīng)覺(jué))品嘗Mozart的音樂(lè)。
6. Personification 擬人
擬人是把生命賦予無(wú)生命的事物。
例如:
1)The night gently lays her hand at our fevered heads.
(把夜擬人化)
2)I was very happy and could hear the birds singing in the woods.
(把鳥(niǎo)擬人化)
7. Hyperbole 夸張
夸張是以言過(guò)其實(shí)的說(shuō)法表達(dá)強(qiáng)調(diào)的目的。它可以加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)勢(shì),增加表達(dá)效果。
例如:
1)I beg a thousand pardons.
2)Love you. You are the whole world to me, and the moon and the stars.
3)When she heard the bad news, a river of tears poured out.
8. Parallelism 排比,平行
這種修辭法是把兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的結(jié)構(gòu)大體相同或相似,意思相關(guān),語(yǔ)氣一致的短語(yǔ)。句子排列成串,形成一個(gè)整體。
例如:
1)No one can be perfectly free till all are free; no one can be perfectly moral till all are moral; no one can be perfectly happy till all are happy.
2)In the days when all these things are to be answered for, I summon you and yours, to the last of your bad race, to answer for them. In the days when all these things are to be answered for, I summon your brother, the worst of your bad race, to answer for them separately.
9. Euphemism 委婉,婉辭法
婉辭法指用委婉,文雅的方法表達(dá)粗惡,避諱的話。
例如:
1)He is out visiting the necessary. 他出去方便一下。
2)His relation with his wife has not been fortunate. 他與妻子關(guān)系不融洽。
3)My mother passed away in 1997. (去世)
10. Allegory 諷喻,比方(原意“寓言”)
建立在假借過(guò)去或別處的事例與對(duì)象之上,傳達(dá)暗示,影射或者譏諷現(xiàn)世各種現(xiàn)象的含義。
例如:
1)Make the hay while the sun shines.
表層含義:趁著出太陽(yáng)的時(shí)候曬草
真正意味:趁熱打鐵
2)It's time to turn plough into sword.
表層含義:是時(shí)候把犁變成劍
真正意味:要開(kāi)戰(zhàn)了
11. Irony 反語(yǔ)
反語(yǔ)指用相反意義的詞來(lái)表達(dá)意思的作文方式。如在指責(zé)過(guò)失、錯(cuò)誤時(shí),用贊同過(guò)失的說(shuō)法,而在表?yè)P(yáng)時(shí),則近乎責(zé)難的說(shuō)法。
例如:
1)It would be a fine thing indeed not knowing what time it was in the morning.
早上沒(méi)有時(shí)間觀念還真是一件好事啊(真實(shí)含義是應(yīng)該明確早上的時(shí)間觀念)
2)"Of course, you only carry large notes, no small change on you. "the waiter said to the beggar.
服務(wù)生對(duì)那個(gè)乞丐說(shuō):“當(dāng)然了,你身上只有大鈔,不會(huì)有零錢(qián)的?!?/p>
12. Pun 雙關(guān)
雙關(guān)就是用一個(gè)詞在句子中的雙重含義,借題發(fā)揮。作出多種解釋,旁敲側(cè)擊,從而達(dá)到意想不到的幽默、滑稽效果。它主要以相似的詞形、詞意和諧音的方式出現(xiàn)。
例如:
1)She is too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise.
2)An ambassador is an honest man who lies abroad for the good of his country.
3)If we don't hang together, we shall hang separately.
13. Parody 仿擬
這是一種模仿名言、警句、諺語(yǔ),改動(dòng)其中部分詞語(yǔ),從而使其產(chǎn)生新意的修辭。
例如:
1)Rome was not built in a day, nor in a year.
2)A friend in need is a friend to be avoided.
14. Rhetorical question 修辭疑問(wèn)(反問(wèn))
它與疑問(wèn)句的不同在于它并不以得到答復(fù)為目的,而是以疑問(wèn)為手段,取得修辭上的效果,其特點(diǎn)是:肯定問(wèn)句表示強(qiáng)烈否定,而否定問(wèn)句表示強(qiáng)烈的肯定。它的答案往往是不言而喻的。
例如:
1)How was it possible to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worth of note?
2)Shall we allow those untruths to go unanswered?
15. Antithesis 對(duì)照,對(duì)比,對(duì)偶
這種修辭指將意義完全相反的語(yǔ)句排在一起對(duì)比的一種修辭方法。
例如:
1)Not that I loved Caeser less but that I loved Rome more.
2)You are staying; I am going.
3)Give me liberty, or give me death.
16. Paradox 雋語(yǔ)
這是一種貌似矛盾,但包含一定哲理的意味深長(zhǎng)的說(shuō)法,是一種矛盾修辭法。
例如:
1)More haste, less speed.
欲速則不達(dá)。
2)The child is the father to the man.
(童年時(shí)代可決定人之未來(lái))三歲看大,四歲看老。
17. Oxymoron 反意法,逆喻
這也是一種矛盾修辭法,用兩種不相調(diào)和的特征形容一個(gè)事物,以不協(xié)調(diào)的搭配使讀者領(lǐng)悟句中微妙的含義。
例如:
1)No light, but rather darkness visible.
2)The state of this house is cheerless welcome.
18. Climax 漸進(jìn)法,層進(jìn)法
這種修辭是將一系列詞語(yǔ)按照意念的大小、輕重、深淺、高低等逐層漸進(jìn),最后達(dá)到頂點(diǎn)??梢栽鰪?qiáng)語(yǔ)勢(shì),逐漸加深讀者印象。
例如:
1)I am sorry, I am so sorry, I am so extremely sorry.
2)Eye had not seen nor ear heard, and nothing had touched his heart of stone.
19. Anticlimax 漸降法
與climax相反的一種修辭法,將一系列詞語(yǔ)由大到小,由強(qiáng)到弱地排列。
例如:
1)On his breast he wears his decorations, at his side a sword, on his feet a pair of boots.
2)The duties of a soldier are to protect his country and peel potatoes.
