高级英语课文修辞总结（

1-7

课）

第一课

Face to Face With Hurricane Camille

Simile:

1. The children went from adult to adult like buckets in a

fire brigade. (comparing the passing of children to the passing of

buckets of water in a fire brigade when fighting a fire)

2. The wind sounded like the roar of a train passing a few

yards away. (comparing the sound of the wind to the roar of a

passing train)

Metaphor :

1. We can batten down and ride it out. (comparing the

house in a hurricane to a ship fighting a storm at sea)

2. Wind and rain now whipped the house. (Strong wind and

rain was lashing the house as if with a whip.)

Personification :

1. A moment later, the hurricane, in one mighty swipe,

lifted the entire roof off the house and skimmed it 40 feet

through the air. (The hurricane acted as a very strong person

lifting something heavy and throwing it through the air.)

2. It seized a 600, 000-gallon Gulfport oil tank and dumped

it 3 1/2miles away. (The hurricane acted as a very strong man

lifting something very heavy and dumping it 3 1/2 miles away.).

Ⅺ

.

Elliptical and short simple sentences generally increase the

tempo and speed of the actions being described. Hence in a

dramatic narration they serve to heighten tension and help create

a sense of danger and urgency. For examples see the text,

paragraphs 10-18 and 21-26.

Lesson 2 Hiroshima

—the “Liveliest” City in Japan

“Seldom has a city gained such world renown, and I am proud

and happy to welcome you to Hiroshima, a town known

throughout the world for its-

oysters”. (anticlimax)

…as the fastest train in the world slipped to a stop

...

…where thousands upon thousands of people had been slain in

one second, where thousands upon thousands of others had

lingered on to die in slow agony.

At last this intermezzo came to an end…

But later my hair began to fall out , and my belly turned to

water .I felt sick ,and ever since then they have been testing and

treating me .(alliteration)

Each day that I escape death, each day of suffering that helps to

free me from earthly cares, I make a new little paper bird, and

add it to the others.

Hiroshima

—the “liveliest” city in Japan

I felt sick, and ever since then they have been testing and

treating me.

The rather arresting spectacle of little old Japan adrift amid

beige concrete skycrapers is the very symbol of the incessant

struggle between the kimono and the miniskirt.

There were fresh bows, and the faces grew more and more

serious each time the name Hiroshima was

repeated .(synecdoche)

Was I not at the scene of the crime? (rhetorical question)

Lesson

3

Blackmail

Metaphor:

...the nerves of both ... were excessively frayed...

his wife shot him a swift, warning glance.

The words spat forth with sudden savagery.

Her tone ...withered...

...self-assurance...flickered...

The Duchess kept firm tight rein on her racing mind.

Her voice was a whiplash.
