英语高频考点——修辞学

一、定义

修辞学是研究修辞的学问；修辞是加强言辞或文句效果的艺术手法。

二、语义修辞

（一）拟人（Personification）

拟人修辞法就是把事物人格化，将不具备人类动作和感情的事物变成和人一样具有动作和感情。

The night gently lays her hand at our fevered heads. 

I was very happy and could hear the birds singing in the woods.

（二）转喻 / 借代  (Metonymy)

转喻是用一名称来指代与之密切相关的事物或概念。

The kettle boils.

Lend me your ears, please.

I saw a Qi Baishi on the wall.

（三）明喻（Simile）

明喻是将具有共性的不同事物作对比，这种共性存在于人们的心里，而不是事物的自然属性。标志词常用：like, as, seem, as if, as though, similar to, such as等。

My heart is like a singing bird. 

The human history is like a long river.

（四）隐喻 / 暗喻（Metaphor）

隐喻是简缩了的明喻，是将某一事物的名称用于另一事物，通过比较形成。

The world is a stage.

A silver plate is rising up in the sky.

（五）提喻 (Synecdoche)

提喻就是以局部代表整体，或以整体代表部分。

He earned his bread by working as a writer.

There are about 100 hands in his factory.

（六）夸张 (Hyperbole)

夸张是一种故意言过其实，或夸大或缩小事物的形象，借以突出事物的某种特征或品格，鲜明地表达思想情感的修辞方式。

I beg a thousand pardons. 

I haven’t seen you for ages.

（七）双关 (Pun)

双关是用一个词在句子中的双重含义，借题发挥、作出多种解释，旁敲侧击，从而达到意想不到的幽默、滑稽效果，它主要以相似的词形、词意和谐音的方式出现。

You were right, so I left.

On Sunday they pray for you and on Monday they prey on you.

（八）反语 (Irony)

反语就是说反话，即用反面的话来表达正面的意思。有时候可以达到讽刺的意味。

It would be a fine thing indeed not knowing what time it was in the morning.

He is a man who is most dependable when you are not in need.

（九）委婉语 (Euphemism)

委婉语是用婉转、客气的说法来代替直截了当的话，把原来显得粗鲁或令人尴尬的语言温和、含蓄地表达出来。

He is out visiting the necessary. 

His old friend is sleeping here-but forever.

（十）矛盾修辞法 (Oxymoron)

矛盾修辞法将相互矛盾的概念和判断巧妙地联系在一起，以便相互映衬，突出事物的特点，表达复杂的思想感情和意味深长的哲理。

I like humanity, but I hate persons.

Parting is such a sweet sorrow.

（十一）典故 (Allusion)

典故修辞法是通过引用典故、谚语、成语、格言和俗语作为喻体，间接提及本体的修饰手法。

Grammar may be his heel of Achilles.

A university degree is no longer the open sesame to a good job.

（十二）移就（Transferred Epithet）

移就是将本用来修饰一类名词的修饰语用来修饰另一类名词。

He lay all night on a sleepless pillow.

She passed many an anxious hour in the train.
