隱喻同明喻一樣,也是在兩個不同類事物之間進行比較。不同的是明喻把本體和喻體說成是“相似的”,而隱喻則干脆把兩者說成是“一致的”。明喻中有比喻詞而隱喻中則沒有。
明喻 My love is like a red,red rose. 我的愛人像一朵紅玫瑰。 Peter is like a tiger. 彼得像一只老虎。
隱喻 My love is a red,red rose. 我的愛人是一朵紅玫瑰。 Peter is a tiger. 彼得是一只老虎。
下面是一些實例: The tree of
liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and
tyrants. 自由之樹必須時常用愛國者和暴君的鮮血來清洗。
Some books are to
be tasted,others to be swallowed and some few to be
chewed and digested. 有些書只需淺嘗輒止,有些只需囫圇吞棗,還有少部分卻要細嚼慢咽。
Sometimes you go
into what l call a bubble boom. 有時候,你會進入一種泡沫式的繁榮。
East St. Louis
High School,in fact, is the citadel of a football
dynasty. 東圣路易中學,事實上是一個足球王朝的堡壘。
So,shut all
other thoughts and switch them onto the road mending. 所以,我摒棄了一切雜念,集中精力來修路。 |
