高中英语高考读后续写出彩技巧（修辞手法+高频时间词）
展开高考英语读后续写出彩技巧
一、修辞手法
1.simile 明喻
明喻（simile）俗称直喻，是依据比喻和被比喻两种不同事物的相似关系而构成的修辞格。如：
The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow.
开满樱花的乡村，看起来有如粉红雪铺满地。
The smile on her face shone like a diamond.
她的笑容像宝石一样闪闪发光。
The scenery along the Lijiang River in Guilin is just like a beautiful landscape painting.
桂林漓江的沿途风景就像一幅美丽的山水画。
His heart is as hard as a stone.
他铁石心肠。
Her soul is as pure as snow.
她的心灵纯洁无比。
认真观察以上各例，我们会发现它们的特点，由（as）... as，like等引导，这些引导词被称作比喻词（acknowledging word），它们是辨别明喻的最显著的特征，明喻较为直白，比喻物和被比喻物之间相似点较为明显。

work like a dog 非常努力的工作，埋头苦干某事
2.metaphor 隐喻，暗喻
暗喻（metaphor）：也称隐喻，是依据比喻和被比喻两种不同事物的相似或相关关系而构成的修辞格。无需借助比喻词，直接将甲事物当作乙事物来描写。例如：
Life is a ship on the ocean meeting both sunny days and stormy days.
生活是一艘在海上航行的船，既会遇到晴天，也会遇到暴风雨天。
Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.
笑是驱走人们脸上寒意的太阳。
She is going through a roller coaster of emotions.
她正经历着情感的过山车。
At once, the Eastern and Western Chang’an Roads became roaring oceans.
霎时间，东西长安街成了喧腾的大海。
由以上各例可知，暗喻没有引导词，这是明喻和暗喻在形式上的最大区别。换句话说，有为明喻，没有为暗喻。如：
He has a heart of stone.
He has a heart like stone.
很显然，前句是暗喻，后句是明喻。暗喻时，比喻物和被比喻物之间的相似点较为含蓄，猛一看它们毫无关系，实际却有着某种内在联系。
