Understatement:陳說
界說:A figure of speech which contains an understatement of emphasis, and therefore the opposite of hyperbole. Often used in everyday speech and usually with laconic or ironic intentions.
這類修辭格是有意應用有控制的說話來陳說究竟,有意輕描淡寫,借低調與弱化說話情勢來表現誇大。
例子:1.I know he is honest, and I wish I could add he were capable.
我曉得他是老實的,我還願望我能說他是醒目的。
此句也是用假造語氣來表現understatement,I could add he were capable實際上是在說“但他不敷醒目”。
2.The face wasn’t a bad one; it had what they called charm.
面貌不算丟臉,有常人所稱的嬌媚。
此句不是沖淡她的魅力,而是采取低調襯著,意即The face was sweet; her charm conquered everybody. 明似抑低,實則褒揚。
simile:明喻
界說:A figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared.
明喻是一種修辭手段,把兩種根本不相像的器械舉行比擬.
例子:1.He is something of a political chameleon.他有點象政治上的變色龍
2.He looked as if he had just stepped out of my book of fairytales and had passed me like a spirit.
他看上去似乎剛從我的童話故事書中走出來,像鬼魂同樣從我身邊走曩昔。
metaphor:隱喻
界說:A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison.
用一個詞來指代與該詞所指事物有類似特色的另一個事物
例子:1.He has a heart of stone. 他有一顆木人石心
2.The diamond department was the heart and center of the store
