《英语修辞手法》word版.doc

摘要（summary）是一种对原始文献（或文章）的基本内容进行浓缩的语义连贯的短文。它以迅速掌握原文内容梗概为目的，不加主观评论和解释，但必须简明、确切地表述原文的重要内容。摘要写作（summary writing）是一种控制性的作文形式，它能使学生通过阅读原文，吸收原文的文章结构与语言方面的长处，写出内容一致、结构近似、语言简洁的短文。另外，对培养学生善于抓住文章重点的能力也有很大帮助，有利于他们在实际写作中避免面面俱到，事无巨细，一一罗列的不良倾向。这种写作既要准确理解原文，又要能综合概括；既能培养欣赏能力，又能训练书面表达能力。因此，用英文写摘要，对学习英语写作的学生来说，不失为一种切合实际的方法。下面谈谈怎么写好英文摘要。1）细读原文。首先要仔细阅读全篇作品，然后对作品进行整体分析，掌握原文总的意思和结构，明确全文的主题（the maintheme）和各段的段落大意（the main idea）。2）弄清要求。搞清楚是写全文概要，还是写某一部分的概要，或者就某些问题写出要点。3）列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构，将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。4）草拟写作提纲并写出初稿。将挑选出的要点作为框架草拟详细的提纲，以所列的提纲为依据写出摘要的初稿。在写作时要特别注意下面几点：（1）摘要应包括原文中的主要事实（main facts）；略去不必要的细节（unnecessary details）。（2）安排好篇幅的比例。摘要应同原文保持协调，即用较多的文字写重要内容，用较少的文字写次要内容。（3）注意段落的连贯和句子的衔接。要用适当的转折词语贯通全文，切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子。（4）尽可能用自己的话来写，但不排斥用原文的某些词句。（5）计算词数，看是否符合规定的词数要求。- The summaryDefinitionThe summary is a brief restatement of the essential thought of a longer composition.Give the gist of the authors exact and essential meaning.A summary should not contain any interpretation or comment.Uses of summary writing(1) improving reading comprehension Requires carefully reading Concentration of attention(2) good for composition writing. express ones thought clearly, concisely.(3) Practical uses for scientists, businessmen, lawyers etc.Procedures(1) reading1) Read the passage through to get the gist.2) Give a title to your summary.

You are the whole world to me, and the moon and the stars.3.When she heard the bad news, a river of tears poured out.7.Euphemism 委婉,婉辞法婉辞法指用委婉,文雅的方法表达粗恶,避讳的话.例如:1.He is out visiting the necessary.? 他出去方便一下.2.His relation with his wife has not been fortunate. 他与妻子关系不融洽.3.Deng Xiaoping passed away in 1997. （去世）7.Allegory 讽喻,比方（原意“寓言”）建立在假借过去或别处的事例与对象之上，传达暗示，影射或者讥讽现世各种现象的含义。英文解释：an expressive style that uses fictional characters and events to describe some subject by suggestive resemblances; an extended metaphor 摘自英语专业大学英语教程一书这是一种源于希腊文的修辞法,意为换个方式的说法.它是一种形象的描述,具有双重性,表层含义与真正意味的是两回事.例如:1.Make the hay while the sun shines. 表层含义：趁着出太阳的时候晒草 真正意味：趁热打铁 2.Its time to turn plough into sword.表层含义：是时候把犁变成剑8.Irony 反语反语指用相反意义的词来表达意思的作文方式.如在指责过失.错误时,用赞同过失的说法,而在表扬时,则近乎责难的说法.例如:1.It would be a fine thing indeed not knowing what time it was in the morning.早上没有时间观念还真是一件好事啊（真实含义是应该明确早上的时间观念）2Of course, you only carry large notes, no small change on you. the waiter said to the beggar.9.Pun 双关双关就是用一个词在句子中的双重含义,借题发挥.作出多种解释,旁敲侧击,从而达到意想不到的幽默.滑稽效果.它主要以相似的词形.词意和谐音的方式出现.例如:1.She is too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise and too little for a great praise.2.An ambassador is an honest man who lies abroad for the good of his country.3.If we dont hang together, we shall hang separately.10.Oxymoron 反意法,逆喻这也是一种矛盾修辞法,用两种不相调和的特征形容一个事物,以不协调的搭配使读者领悟句中微妙的含义.例如:1.No light, but rather darkness visible.没有光亮，黑暗却清晰可见2.The state of this house is cheerless welcome.simile 明喻 metaphor 隐喻, 暗喻 personification 拟人 analogy 类比 metonymy 转喻 sarcasm 讽刺 onomatopoeia 拟声 alliteration 头韵 transferred Epithet 转类形容词 apostrophe 顿呼 anti-climax or bathos 突 降 climax 渐进 epigram 警句 antithesis 对照 oxymoron 矛盾修饰 paradox 似非而是的隽语 innuendo 暗讽 irony 反语 zeugma 轭式搭配 syllepsis 一语双叙 pun 双关语
