英汉修辞之拟人
英汉修辞对比论文题目:英汉修辞之拟人系部:外国语学院班级:英语12-1班姓名:郭秀秀学号:3121221183英汉修辞之拟人修辞(the figure of speech/rhetoric),修饰文辞。
“修”是修饰的意思,“辞”的本来意思是辩论的言词,后引申为一切的言辞。
修辞就是修饰词语,以提高语言表达效果。
修辞的本义就是修饰言论,也就是在使用语言的过程中,利用多种语言手段以收到尽可能好的表达效果的一种语言活动。
汉语中主要的修辞方法,比喻、借代、拟人、夸张等。
英语也有此类相对应的修辞方法,例如:Alliteration,Hyperbole,Synaesthesia,Personification,等等。
在本文中,主要介绍英汉修辞中拟人(Personification) 。
拟人,就是把生物或无生物当作人,使其具有人的外表、个性或情感的修辞手段。
把本来不具备人的一些动作的感情和事物变成和人一样,就像童话里的动物、植物能说话,能大笑,能思考。
拟人化的手法可以使文章更加具体,形象,生动,赋予事物以人类的特点,生动形象的表达出作者的感情,让读者感到所描写的物体显得更活泼,亲近。
它还使没有生命的东西栩栩如生,使有生命的东西可爱可憎,如同人类一样,引起读者的共鸣。
在很多文学作品中都会用到拟人的修辞手法。
比如朱自清的《春》中描写到:盼望着,盼望着,东风来了,春天的脚步近了。
一切都像刚睡醒的样子,欣欣然张开了眼。
山朗润起来了,水涨起来了,太阳的脸红起来了。
小草偷偷地从土地里钻了出来,嫩嫩的,绿绿的。
朱自清在描写春天时把它当作一个少女来描写,很贴切的描绘的春天的美好,让读者都迫不及待的想和春天见见面。
拟人法就是把无,无论是有生命的还是无生命的,抑或是抽象的概念当作人来写。
当我们情感比较激动,比较强烈的时候,仿佛觉得外界万物也变得跟我们的感情相通。
这时,我们会情不自禁地把描述之物赋予人的言行和情感,让它们也同人一样喜怒哀乐起来,这样的表达,最易使人理解,最易被人接受,最易引人共鸣,给人以形象感、新奇感和动态感,从而表现出生动而富有情趣的艺术效果,所以,客观的食物经过人的合理的属性和合乎规律的创造性想象而变得富有艺术魅力。
Rhetorical Devices
Rhetorical DevicesThe figures of speech have served three main purposes:to instruct and entertain people through the play of language,to persuade people of the truth or value of the message that a figure conveys, andto help people remember both the meaning of the message and its figurative expression.)对于一个具有一定英语水平的人来说,谙熟其修辞方式,不仅有助于辨别该语言的各种修辞现象,了解修辞运用的规律,从而提高分析语言表现技巧的能力,而且还可以有力提高准确、有效地运用语言的能力。
一、比喻(the figures of speech)比喻是语言艺术的升华,是最富有诗意的语言形式之一,是语言的信息功能和美学功能的有机结合。
英语中常见的比喻有三类:明喻、隐喻和转喻。
1.明喻(the simile)明喻通常是把被比喻的“本体”和用以比喻的“喻体”同时说出,说明本体事物象喻体事物,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。
(1)Bacteria are so small that a single round one of common type is about 1/25,000 of an inch across when these bacteria are magnified 1,000 times, they look only as large as a pencil point. 细菌是这样小,一种普通类型的圆形细菌直径大约只有1/25,000英寸。

figureofspeech英语作文
figureofspeech英语作文A figure of speech is a word or phrase used in a non-literal sense to add rhetorical force or to create a vivid effect. Figures of speech are common in literature and everyday language, and they can help communicate complex ideas and emotions in a more colorful and engaging way. In this essay, we will explore some of the most common figures of speech and how they are used in writing and speech.One of the most common figures of speech is the metaphor, which compares two things by stating that one thing is another. For example, "Time is a thief" is a metaphor that conveys the idea that time can steal precious moments from our lives. Metaphors can add depth and meaning to a text by drawing parallels between different concepts and creating a strong visual image.Another popular figure of speech is the simile, which compares two things using "like" or "as." For example, "Her eyes sparkled like diamonds" is a simile that evokes a vivid image of someone's eyes shining brightly. Similes are often used to create vivid descriptions and make comparisons more explicit.Personification is a figure of speech that attributes human qualities to inanimate objects or abstract concepts. For example,"The wind whispered through the trees" personifies the wind by giving it the ability to whisper. Personification can make writing more engaging by bringing objects to life and creating a sense of connection between the reader and the world around them.Hyperbole is a figure of speech that involves exaggeration for emphasis or effect. For example, "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" is a hyperbole that exaggerates the speaker's hunger to make a point. Hyperbole can add humor and drama to writing, and it can help convey strong emotions or make a point more memorable.Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech that uses words that imitate the sounds they describe. For example, "The clock ticked loudly" uses onomatopoeia to mimic the sound of a clock ticking. Onomatopoeia can create a sense of immediacy and make descriptions more vivid by incorporating sound into the text.Alliteration is a figure of speech that involves the repetition of initial consonant sounds in adjacent or closely connected words. For example, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" is an example of alliteration that creates a playful and rhythmic effect. Alliteration can add musicality and emphasis to writing, and it can create a sense of unity and coherence in a text.In conclusion, figures of speech play a crucial role in language and communication by adding variety, depth, and emotion to writing and speech. By using metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, and alliteration, writers can create vivid images, convey complex ideas, and evoke strong emotions in their audience. Figures of speech are an essential tool for writers and speakers to engage their audience and make their message more memorable and impactful.。

figureofspeech作文
figureofspeech作文English Answer:Figurative speech is a literary device that uses words and phrases in a non-literal way to create an effect or evoke an emotion. It is often used to make language more vivid, imaginative, and memorable. There are many different types of figurative speech, each with its own unique purpose and characteristics.Metaphor: A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things that share a common characteristic. Metaphors are often used to create a vivid image or to make a point more memorable. For example, the phrase "life is a journey" is a metaphor that compares life to a journey, suggesting that life is a long and often difficult process.Simile: A simile is a comparison between two unlike things that use the words "like" or "as." Similes are often used to create a vivid image or to make a point more clear.For example, the phrase "she was as beautiful as a flower"is a simile that compares a woman to a flower, suggesting that she is very beautiful.Personification: Personification is a figure of speech that gives human qualities to nonhuman things. Personification is often used to make nonhuman things seem more relatable or to create a more vivid image. For example, the phrase "the wind whispered through the trees" is a personification that gives the wind human qualities, suggesting that it is whispering secrets to the trees.Hyperbole: A hyperbole is an exaggeration that is usedto create a humorous or dramatic effect. Hyperboles areoften used to emphasize a point or to make a statement more memorable. For example, the phrase "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" is a hyperbole that exaggerates the speaker's hunger.Irony: Irony is a figure of speech that uses words to convey a meaning that is opposite to the literal meaning. Irony is often used to create humor or to make a point morememorable. For example, the phrase "it's a beautiful day" said on a rainy day is an example of irony.Figurative speech is a powerful tool that can be usedto create a variety of effects in writing and speech. It is important to understand the different types of figurative speech and how they can be used effectively.中文回答:比喻是一种修辞手法,它使用非字面意义的词语和短语来产生某种效果或唤起某种情感。

It achieves its effect of emphasizing a fact by deliberately(故意地) understating it, impressing the listener or the reader more by what is merely implied or left unsaid than by bare statement.

Innuendo:/inju`endEu/(暗讽) •It is a mild form of irony, hinting in a rather roundabout (曲折)way at something disparaging(不一致) or uncomplimentary(不赞美) to the person or subject mentioned.• For example, the weatherman said it would be warm. He must take his readings in a bathroom. Sarcasm: (讽刺)• Sarcasm is a strong form of irony.

It involves stating one's thoughts in a descending order of significance or intensity, from strong to weak, from weighty to light or frivolous.•But thousands die, without or this or that, die, and endow(赋予) a college, or a cat.Transferred Epithet: /`epiWet/(移就 )• It is a figure of speech where an epithet (an adjective or descriptive phrase) is transferred from the noun it should rightly modify(修饰) to another to which it does not really apply or belong.•One of the painful prices human being have paid for ….•Another sleepless night. Alliteration: (头韵)•It has to do with the sound rather than the sense of words for effect. It is a device that repeats the same sound at frequent intervals(间隔) and since the sound repeated is usually the initial consonant sound, it is also called "front rhyme".• The furrow follow ed free.• Peter pays his poor purse. Onomatopoeia: (拟声)/CnEumAtEu`piE/• It is a device that uses words which imitate the sounds made by an object (animate or inanimate), or which are associated with or suggestive(提示的) ofsome action or movement.• (1)He flopped down the bag and ran to help us. 他噗地一声放下袋子,赶来帮助我们。
