英语修辞手法
一、提喻(synecdoche)又称举隅法,主要特点是局部代表全体,或以全体喻指部分,或以抽象代具体,或以具体代抽象.例如:
1、The Great Wall was made not only of stones and earth,but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.
长城不仅是用石头和土建造的,而且是用几百万人的血和肉建成的.
句中的“the flesh and blood”喻为“the great sacrifice”(巨大的牺牲)
2、“...saying that it was the most beautiful tongue in the world,...”
……他说这是世界上最美的语言.
这里用具体的“tongue”代替抽象的“language”.
4、Many eyes turned to a tall,20—year black girl on the U.S.team.
很多人将眼光投向美国队一个高高的20岁的黑姑娘.
这里的“many eyes”代替了“many persons”.
二、借代(metonymy)是指两种不同事物并不相似,但又密不可分,因而常用其中一种事物名称代替另一种.
1、Several years later,word came that Napoleonyh himself was coming to inspect them...
几年以后,他们听说拿破仑要亲自来视察他们.
“word”在这里代替了“news,information”(消息、信息)
2、Al spoke with his eyes,“yes”.
艾尔用眼睛说,“是的”.
“说”应该是嘴的功能,这里实际上是用眼神表达了“说话的意思”.
四.Metonymy (转喻) It is a figure of speech that has to do with the substitution of the mane of one thing for that of another.For instance,the pen (words) is mightier than the sword (forces).借代(metonymy)是指两种不同事物并不相似,但又密不可分,因而常用其中一种事物名称代替另一种.

六.Zeugma:(轭式搭配) It is a single word which is made to modify or to govern two or more words in the same sentence,wither properly applying in sense to only one of them,or applying to them in different senses.For example,The sun shall not burn you by day,nor the moon by night.(Here noon is not strong enough to burn)
七.Antithesis:(对照) It is the deliberate arrangement of contrasting words or ideas in balanced structural forms to achieve emphasis.For example,speech is silver; silence is golden.
八.Apostrophe:(顿呼) In this figure of speech,a thing,place,idea or person (dead or absent) is addressed as if present,listening and understanding what is being said.For instance,England!awake!awake!awake!
