一、比喻(the figures of speech) Z79Y$d>G<E
比喻是语言艺术的升华。英语中常见的比喻方法有三种:明喻、隐喻和借喻。 rJd-e96
1.明喻(the simile) Z
+}#
Ic
格式:本体 + 显著比喻词(like/as/as if---) + 喻体 Wc##
.qU
常用介词like 、连词as,as if,as---so、动词seem等以及句型A---to B as C---to D等等表示“好像”意思的比喻说法就叫明喻。 [py/\zkn
例如:(1)Teacher, you are like the sun, but more magnificent, and more brillant. 老师,您像太阳,又比太阳更灿烂更辉煌。 :bp8S@
(2)Your soul is as pure as snow, your personality is as noble as pine trees! All praise to you, our beloved teacher. 您的心灵像雪一样纯净,您的人格像青松一般高洁!赞美您,敬爱的老师。 QN~9O^
英语中除上述的用介词、连词或句型等的明喻表达方式外,还有许多常用的明喻习语。例如: (1)as clear as crystal清如水晶 (2)as weak as water软弱无力 g31\7\)Ir
这类利用类似汉语的押韵和叠声增加语言的美感。与此同时,又可以使语言短小精悍,表达生动、形象。 eNt1P`2[
2.隐喻(the metaphor) P.t7_v>
格是:本体 + is/are + 喻体来源:考试大 /$ueLa
例如:1)Time is a river, of which memory is the water. Oh my friend, what I scoop up from the river is all yearning of you. 时间是河、记忆如水,朋友,我从河里捧起来的都是对你的思念。 (2)Time is money. 时间就是金钱。 /(ArA=#
注意:英语中存在着许多数词习语和俚语,用作隐喻(也有个别用作明喻)。例如 : 9[\$\l
(1)You are one in a million.你真是人见人爱。 &
