隐喻同明喻一样,也是在两个不同类事物之间进行比较。不同的是明喻把本体和喻体说成是“相似的”,而隐喻则干脆把两者说成是“一致的”。明喻中有比喻词而隐喻中则没有。
明喻 My love is like a red,red rose. 我的爱人像一朵红玫瑰。 Peter is like a tiger. 彼得像一只老虎。
隐喻 My love is a red,red rose. 我的爱人是一朵红玫瑰。 Peter is a tiger. 彼得是一只老虎。
下面是一些实例: The tree of
liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and
tyrants. 自由之树必须时常用爱国者和暴君的鲜血来清洗。
Some books are to
be tasted,others to be swallowed and some few to be
chewed and digested. 有些书只需浅尝辄止,有些只需囫囵吞枣,还有少部分却要细嚼慢咽。
Sometimes you go
into what l call a bubble boom. 有时候,你会进入一种泡沫式的繁荣。
East St. Louis
High School,in fact, is the citadel of a football
dynasty. 东圣路易中学,事实上是一个足球王朝的堡垒。
So,shut all
other thoughts and switch them onto the road mending. 所以,我摒弃了一切杂念,集中精力来修路。 |
