A figure of speech comparing two essentially unlike things and often Introduced by like or as simile.
• It is a comparison between two distinctly different things and the comparison is indicated by the word as or like: • Oh, my love’s like a red, red rose • That man can’t be trusted. He’s as slippery as an eel 鳗鱼. • The old man’s hair is as white as snow. • In the above three examples people and things of different categories are compared: a woman and a rose, a man and an eel, and hair and snow. But each pair has one similarity: loveliness, slipperiness and whiteness. The discrepancy between things compared makes their similarity all the more striking.

Metaphor
1.The definition of metaphor
A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily and primarily denotes one thing is applied to another in an implied comparison. (1).Comparison is implied. (2).It is also a comparison between two unlike elements with a similar quality. But unlike a simile, this comparison is implied, not expressed with the word "as" or "like". (3).Metaphor compares two different things by speaking of one in terms of the other. Unlike a simile or analogy, metaphor asserts that one thing is another thing, not just that one is like another.
3."adjective" pattern形容词型 形容词型: 形容词型 (1).The mountainous waves swallowed up the ship. 山一般的巨浪吞没了那艘船。 (2).I was all smiles, looking forward to a pleasant, homey evening. 我满心欢喜，盼望度过一个家庭般舒适的夜晚。 (3).He gave Mark a wintry smile. 他给玛克一个冷笑。
