英语写作的几种修辞手法
许多考生反映自己的英语写作要么十分“中文式”,全无英语的味道,要么就是作文干巴巴的显得没有一点文采。其实英文写作和汉语写作在修辞方面还是存在许多共同之处的。要使自己的英语作文显得有文采,考生就要在英语写作中尝试采用有效的修辞手法,下面就介绍几种修辞方法: 一、比喻(the figures of speech)
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。
1.明喻(the simile)
格式:本体 + 显著比喻词(like/as/as if) + 喻体
常用介词like 、连词as,as if,asso、动词seem等以及句型Ato B asCtoD等等
表
关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf
示“好像”意思的比喻说法就叫明喻。
例如:
(1)Teacher, you are like the sun, but more magnificent,
andmorebrillant. 老师,您像太阳,又比太阳更灿烂更辉煌。
(2)Your soul is as pure as snoetaphor)
格是:本体 + is/are + 喻体
例如:
(1)Time is a river, of emory is the yfriend, the river is all
yearning ofyou.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。
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 :
(1)You are one in a million.你真是人见人爱。
(2)He has one over the eight.他酩酊大醉。
(3)This film star is a nine days r her in ayearstime.这位电影明星现在红极一时(也指昙花一现),但我认为一年以后人们不见得还记得她。
注意:英语中还有许多隐喻成语。例如:
(1)to teach fish to s 班门弄斧
(2)to plough the sand 白费力气
(3)up the tree骑虎难下;lame duck强弩之末;above board光明正大
3.借喻(the metonymy)
格式:直接用比喻事物代替本体事物
例如:
(1)The buses in America are on strikenoightier thanthes 代替船美
国人本身)
(2)You can depend on him for help ent for age.Theysupport us under solitude, and keep us from being a burdentoourselves.书籍是青年人的指
南、老年人的娱乐。孤寂时,书籍给我们力量,使我们摆脱精神负
担。
(2)Love is the master key that opens the gatesofhappiness.爱是
开启幸福之门的万能钥匙。
拟人用法在英语写作中运用得好,不仅使语言表达得生动、有
力,而且给人以亲切、实在、耳目一新的感受。
五、排比
把结构相同或相似、语气一致、意思密切相关联的句子或句子
成分排列起来,使句式得到增强,感情得到加深,这种修辞叫排
比。
例如:
(1)You are overing jade, as oothandmoist as grease, as brilliant as candles, and as firmasrock.你洁白如雪,润泽如脂,你光辉如烛,坚
贞如磐,你是令人倾心的美玉。
(2)You are in my mind and in my heart. You are in the very airIbreathe. You are part ofme.Forever.你占据了我整个思绪和心灵;你
在我呼吸的空气里;你永远是我的一部分。
此外,在英语的具体写作过程当中,我们可以运用恰当的抒情
手法来进行写作,达到以情动人的效果。下面就以2005年6月份四
级考试作文为例,进行写作。
提纲要求:
In honor of teachers on the occasion of Teacher’s Day
向老师致以节日祝贺
从一件难忘的事回忆老师的教诲和无私的奉献
我如何回报老师的关爱
