Question

如题所述

Answer 1

　　1.Simile 明喻
　　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。
　　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 隐喻，暗喻
　　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。
　　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.
