摘要
一、英语比喻及其构成: 比喻是英语中常见的修辞方式。它是将两个不同性质的事物,取其相同之处进行比较,是将平直的语言赋于审美意义,它是最富有诗意的语言形式之一,也是语言的信息功能和美学功能的有机结合。运用比喻的目的是创造一种非形象性语言所不具备的感染力。 比喻有明喻和暗喻之分,明喻simile:A simileis a figure of speech in which two quite diffe-r entthings are compared because they appearto be similar in at least one characteristic…Similes are as a rule introduced by"like"or"as".【A New Book of know Teoge】 。暗喻m-e taphor:A figure of speech in which one thingis described in terms of another,A comparisonis usually implict, whereas in simile it is e-plicit:【A dictionary of Literary Terms】。 综上所述,明喻是将两个完全不同的事物进行比较,因为它们至少应在某一点上相似。通常用like,as引导。暗喻则是将一种事物比为另一事物,暗示其相似之处。暗喻的比较通常是含蓄的。
