Analogy: (类比）
It is also a form of comparison, but unlike simile or metaphor which usually uses comparison on one point of resemblance, analogy draws a parallel between two unlike things that have several common qualities or points of resemblance. The pattern is :
.
12
Hyperbole: (夸张）
e.g. He almost died laughing. Hamlet: I love Ophelia: forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum. His eloquence would split rocks. My legs weigh three tons.
.

Metaphor：(暗喻）
e.g.
The world is a stage. The fountain of knowledge will dry up unless it is continuously replenished by streams of new learning. Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is sound, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound, your body is full of darkness.
英语修辞手法
His purse would not allow him that luxury. (money)
4.Synecdoche (提喻)
Synecdoche is the substitution of the part for the whole or the whole for a part. There are a lot of good heads in the university. 5.Personification (拟人) is a part of people) (intelligent people: head
Classification
1) Full-length metaphor X(tenor) is Y (vehicle) It has both a tenor and a vehicle. All the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players. (Shakespeare) 2).Compressed metaphor 3).Extended metaphor

2) Patterns of simile
X is like Y X…as /(as…as)/ as if/ though Y X is to A what Y is to B X is …no more than Y X … and Y （This is a special simile, which often occurs in English proverbs.）
英语诗歌的修辞
2、谐音双关 【例】① “杨柳青青江水平，闻郎江上唱 歌声。东边日出西边雨，道是无晴却有晴。” “道是无晴却有晴”中的“晴”表面上是晴 天的晴，内含感情的“情”。 ②“春蚕到死丝方尽，蜡炬成灰泪始干。” 表面上指蚕丝和蜡泪，实指“相思”和“眼 泪”； ③如今要强借房租一年，所以百姓们都把 “崇祯”读做“重征”。（姚雪垠《李自 成》）
1、比喻 Comparison
比喻可分为三类：明喻(simile)，暗喻 （metaphor)和隐喻（implied comparison). 明喻(Simile)，是常用as或like等词将具有某种共同 特征的两种不同事物连接起来的一种修辞手法。 明喻的表达方法是：A像B 暗喻（ 暗喻（Metaphor）是本体和喻体同时出现，它们 ） 之间在形式上是相合的关系，说甲（本体）是 （喻词）乙（喻体）。喻词常由：是、就是、成 了、成为、变成等表判断的词语来充当。暗喻又 叫隐喻。
2.Thirsty soil drank in the rain.饥渴的土壤在雨 中畅饮。 3.Did you see the anger of the tempest?你看 到暴风雨的愤怒吗？ 4.The flowers nodded in the breeze.花儿在微 风中点头。 区分抽象概念的性别比较复杂，主要以个人偏 爱与传统而定。“公正”常被描绘成一位手持 天 平、蒙面的妇女；死亡是男性；时间在诗里被 称为时间老人(father time)；恐怖、绝望和欢乐 视为男性，而忧郁、怜悯、希望为女性。
4. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. ( 战争就是和平，自由就是奴役，无知 战争就是和平，自由就是奴役， 就是力量) 就是力量 （The purpose of war is peace freedom of body is the slavery of thoughts; you dare do anything if you are an ignorant.) 5. Caesar：Cowards die many times before their deaths ; the valiant never taste of death but once… 恺撒：懦夫在未死之前，就已经死过好多次；勇士一 恺撒：懦夫在未死之前，就已经死过好多次； 生只死一次。 生只死一次。……
