4. Synecdoche: a part is substituted for the whole, or the whole is substituted for the part.

1. Simile: an explicit comparison between two different things that yet have something in common, and the comparison is indicated
7. Irony: the use of words which are
clearly opposite to what is meant, in order to achieve a special effect.

3. He has one over the eight.
Metaphor
a) freshness and originality b) aptness c) consistency
He was a lion in the battle. The ship of state is on the rocks.
The flames of rebellion were kindled in secret. I skim over the book to taste the tone of it. At last he felt a ray of hope.
And so, anticipating no literary treat, I plunged into the forest of words of my first manuscript. My weapons were a sturdy eraser and several batteries of sharpened pencils. My I should become lost, a near-by public library was a landmark, and the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences on its reference shelves was an everready guide.
2. Records fell like ripe apples on a windy day.
Her lips were red, her looks were free, Her locks were yellow as gold. Her skin was white as leprosy, The Nightmare Life-in-Death was she, Who thicks man's blood with cold.

The abstract for the concrete, e.g.,
All the wit and learning of the world were assembled here.
from the Middle Eastern Bazaar
The Middle Eastern bazaar takes you back hundreds—
even thousands—of years. The one I am thinking of particularly is entered by a Gothic-arched gateway of aged brick and stone. You pass from the heat and glare of a big, open square into a cool, dark cavern which extends as far as the eye can see, losing itself in the shadowy distance. Little donkeys with harmoniously tinkling bells thread their way among the throngs of people entering and leaving the bazaar. The roadway is about twelve feet wide, but it is narrowed every few yards by little stalls where goods of every conceivable kind are sold.
All the world‘s a stage, / And all the men and women merely players. (Shakespeare, As You Like it) Efficiency is undermined in a jungle of red tape.

Closed simile — We not only compare that man
with a pig, but also specify the respect in which they are compared:
—– The man is “as fat as a pig”.
不用like, as 等连词,而采取其他对 比形式。
爱情跟咳嗽一样是掩盖不了的. —– A word and stone let go cannot be
recalled. (proverb) 说出的话收不回.
II. Metaphor(隐喻)
Metaphor is a figure of speech in which one thing is described in terms of another. In a metaphor, a comparison is usually implicit; whereas in a simile it is explicit.
—– In foreign policy, flying solo can be risky business.
—– He was such a marvelous teacher that whenever he recognized a spark of genius, you should be sure he would water it.
Open simile — —– The man over there is like a pig. In this sentence, the secondary term
“pig” has many characteristics such as fat, lazy, dirty, greedy and gross. In which respect or respects is that man like a pig? It does not say. So, it is called an open simile (it does not give any definite information).

Youth is hot and bold Age is weak and cold Youth is wild, and Age is tame — William Shakespeare
In prose personification is also used, though not so often as in poetry. The match will soon be over and defeat is staring us in the face. This time fate is smiling to him.
— from “Songs for my Mother” by Anna Hempstead Branch
Identify the two similes in this excerpt.
What meaning is expressed by each simile?
[End of Section]
The flood waters rose, and the river became a ravenous monster. Raging on for hours, it consumed everything in its sight.
Metaphors are used not only after verb “to be”, and not only nouns can be used metaphorically. Study the following examples: The picture of those poor people’s lives was carved so happily in his heart that he could never forget it. The street faded into a country road with a straggling house by it. There are a few lordly poplars 白杨 before the house. He often prefaced his remarks by “I can’t help thinking …”

The most common figures of speech
Hale Waihona Puke imile 直喻 Metaphor 暗喻
What’s the difference?
Literal
“He ran quickly down the street.” Simile “He ran like a hare down the street.” Metaphor “He hared(如野兔般疾走奔跑) down
The girl was a fish in the water.
The clown was a feather floating away.
Plato
“…the greatest thing by far is to be a
master of metaphor. It is the one thing that cannot be learnt from others, and it is also a sign of genius, since a good metaphor implies an intuitive perception (直觉) of the similarity in dissimilars.”
Figures of speech
Words are either literal or figurative
Literal 原意
Words used in their original meanings
are used literally. Figurative 比喻义 Words used in extended meanings for the purpose of making comparisons or calling up pictures in the reader’s or listener’s mind are used figuratively.
colourful
In “a colourful garden” the word
colourful is used in its literal sense to describe the many different colours of the flowers in “a colourful life” or “a colourful career” the word is used in its figurative sense because neither life or career has any colour.
Example of simile
Time flies like an arrow
Fruit flies like a banana(果蝇爱香蕉)
metaphor
A figure of speech which consists in
substituting for the name of a thing the name of an attribute( 属性)of it or of something closely related. An implied comparison between two objects that are generally different but share a recognizable similarity without the use of “like” or “as”.
I am hungry as a horse.
You run like a rabbit.
She is happy as a clam.
He is sneaky as a snake.
Example of simile
The mysterious object... has a face that's as round as the moon has hands like golden arrows is as tall as a tower block has a voice like a gong(锣) and is as famous as any pop star. Big Ben
the street.”
simile
Simile is a figure of speech in which two
quite different things are compared as they seem similar in a way. This kind of comparison is normally introduced by “like” or “as”.
Example of mixed metaphors
“We must solve the root problem, or the
line will be drawn in the sand, and we’ll be back in the soup again.” Root compares the problem to a plant Line drawn in the sand means an uncrossable boundary Soup is a food and means being in a mess
Example of metaphor
Life is a yo-yo(哟哟球). It's a series
of ups and downs.
Mixed metaphors
One danger in using metaphors is the
possibility of beginning with one comparison and ending with another This is called a mixed metaphor (混合隐喻;多重隐喻)
