The Review of Advanced English (Book 1)一、修辞(rhetoric)Ⅰ. 修辞手法:1)明喻(simile)是以两种具有相同特征的事物和现象进行对比,表明本体和喻体之间的相似关系,两者都在对比中出现。

常用比喻词like, as, as if, as though等。

2)隐喻(metaphor)这种比喻不用比喻词进行,而直接将甲事物当作乙事物来描写,甲乙两事物之间的联系和相似之处是暗含的。

3)提喻(synecdoche)又称举隅法,主要特点是局部代表全体,或以全体喻指部分,或以抽象代具体,或以具体代抽象。

[用部分代整体,有隶属关系]4)借代(metonymy)是指两种不同事物并不相似,但又密不可分,因而常用其中一种事物名称代替另一种。

[用部分代整体,非隶属关系]5)拟人(personification)这种修辞方法是把人类的特点、特性加于外界事物之上,使之人格化,以物拟人,以达到彼此交融,合二为一。

6)叠言(rhetorical repetition)这种修辞法是指在特定的语境中,将相同的结构,相同意义词组成句子重叠使用,以增强语气和力量。

7)双关语(pun)是以一个词或词组,用巧妙的办法同时把互不关联的两种含义结合起来,以取得一种诙谐有趣的效果。

8)拟声(onomatopoeia)是摹仿自然界中非语言的声音,其发音和所描写的事物的声音很相似,使语言显得生动,富有表现力。

9)讽刺(irony)是指用含蓄的褒义词语来表示其反面的意义,从而达到使本义更加幽默,更加讽刺的效果。

10)通感(synesthesia)是指在某个感官所产生的感觉,转到另一个感官的心理感受。

11)alliteration(头韵):在文句中有两个以上连结在一起的词或词组,其开头的音节有同样的字母或声音,以增强语言的节奏感。

assonance(腹韵):相同或相近的元音在诗行中重复出现;consonance(假韵):两个以上词的词尾辅音完全一致,但其前面的元音不相同;the end rhyme(尾韵):诗行与诗行之间在末尾的压韵/ 尾韵/脚韵12)anadiplosis(联珠):将一个或一组单词重复多遍;anticlimax(突降法):也叫先扬后抑。

In the collected body of writing we call literature, there may bedistinguished two separate groupings capable of blending, but also fitted for reciprocal repulsion. There is first the literature of knowledge, and secondly the literature of power. The function of the first is to teach; the function of the second is to move. The first is rudder, the second an oar or sail. The first speaks to the mere discursive understanding; the second speaks ultimately to the higher understanding or reason, but always through the affection of pleasure and sympathy. Whenever we talk in ordinary language of seeking information or gaining knowledge, we understand the works as connected with absolute novelty. But it is the grandeur of all truth which can occupy a very high place in human interests, although it may not be absolutely novel to the meanest of minds.What do we learn from “Paradise Lost”? Nothing at all. What do we learn from a cook book? Something new, something we did not know before, in every paragraph. But would we therefore put the wretched cookbook on a higher level of estimation than the divine poem? What we owe to Milton is not any knowledge, of which a million separate items are still but a million advancing steps on the same earthly level; what we owe is power,。

翻译:unit11、我脑海中的这个中东集市,其入口处是一座古老的砖石结构的哥特式拱门。

你首先要穿过一个赤日耀眼、灼热逼人的大型露天广场,然后走进一个凉爽、幽暗的洞穴。

这市场一直向前延伸,一眼望不到尽头,消失在远处的阴影里(The one I am thinking........distance)2、对于顾客来说,至关重要的一点是,不到最后一刻是不能让店主猜到她心里究竟中意哪样东西、想买哪样东西的(It is a point of st moment)3、而在卖主那一方来说,他必须竭尽全力地声称,他开出的价钱使他根本无利可图,而他之所以愿意这样做完全是出于他本人对顾客的敬重(The seller,on the other hand....customer)4、磙轴的一端与一根立柱相连,使石磙可以绕立柱作旋转运动,另一端则套在一头蒙着眼罩的骆驼身上,通过骆驼不停地绕圈子走动来带动石磙旋转(The pole is attached..wheel)5、这套装置是由一个人操作的。

他先将亚麻籽浆铲入一只大石缸里,继而动作利索地爬上令人头晕目眩的高处系牢缆索,然后全身使劲压在一根用树干做成的粗大的横梁上,带动缆索的滑轮装置运转。

古木大梁压得嘎吱作响,缆索开始绷紧,接着便见一滴滴的油沿着一条石槽流入一只废旧汽油桶里。

随着大梁越压越低,缆索越绷越紧,大梁的嘎吱声,石磙的辘辘声,以及骆驼不时发出的咕噜咕噜的呼吸声和叹息声响成一片,榨出的油也很快地由涓滴细流变成了一股晶莹发亮、奔腾不止的洪流(The machine is operated ........camels)Unit21、其次,则是因为我当时心情沉重,喉咙哽噎,忧思万缕,几乎顾不上去管那日本铁路官员说些什么。

踏上这块土地,呼吸着广岛的空气,对我来说这行动本身已是一套令人激动的经历,其意义远远超过我以往所进行的任何一次旅行或采访活动。

难道我不就是在犯罪现场吗(And secondly,because........the crime)2、出人意料的是,刚到广岛车站时袭扰着我的那种异样的忧伤情绪竟在这时重新袭上心头,我的心情又难受起来,因为我又一次意识到自己置身于曾遭受第一颗原子弹轰击的现场。

3.【答案】B【解析】varied是“变化多端”的意思,various为“各种各样的”,sorted意为“分类的”,mixed-up意为“困惑的,迷惘的,不适应社会的”。

本句意为“各种各样的商店”。

4.【答案】C【解析】本句的意思是“除了各种各样的商店销售各种各样的商品之外,有些商店还提供服务”,apart from意为“除此之外”,后必须接名词或动名词,however是连词“然而”的意思,in addition可单独使用,意为“除此之外”,as well用在句末。

while指“在……期间”;since表示“自从”,主句一般用完成时。

12.【答案】A【解析】本句的意思是“购物中心是从聚集一些小的店铺开始的”,只有started as 有此意。

13.【答案】B【解析】本句意为“远离拥挤的市中心”, out of指“在……之外”,away from表示距离,“远离”,next to指“靠近,下一个”,near是“近”的意思。

14.【答案】A【解析】本句意为“被……所吸引”,surprise意为“使……惊奇”,delight意为“使……喜悦”,enjoy意为“欣赏,喜爱”。
