  • 第1题:

    What rhetorical device is used in the sentence He is an all__________purpose basket?

    A.Pun.
    B.Simile.
    C.Metaphor.
    D.Transferred epithet.

    答案:C
    解析:
    考查英语修辞。pun指“双关”,simile指“明喻”,metaphor指“暗喻”,transferred epithet指“移就”。He is an all—purpose basket运用了隐喻的修辞手法,暗指“他是一个多面手”。故选C。

  • 第2题:

    What is the main rhetoric device used in “The plowman homeward plods his weary way.”?

    A.Metaphor.
    B.Metonymy.
    C.Synecdoche.
    D.Transferred epithet.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查修辞学。metaphor(隐喻/暗喻)是在两个不同事物之间进行比较,但它不直接点明两个事物之间的相似性,而是进行隐藏的比较,例如:All the world is a stage.整个世界是一台戏(用stage喻指all the world)。metonymy(转喻)指直接用比喻事物代替本体事物,例如:The buses inAmerica are on strike now.美国的公共汽车司机正在罢工(这里buses喻指司机drivers)。synecdoche(提喻)指用一般代替特殊或以特殊代替一般,部分代替整体或整体代替部分,或用原材料代表用该材料制造的东西。比如以hands代替persons,以Solomon代替a wise man,以the smiling year代替the spring。transferred epithet(移就)指用本应该描述甲事物性质状态的词语来形容乙事物,而乙事物却根本不具备这种性质或功能。例如题干中的“The plowman homewardplods hisweary way.”句中形容词“weary”本来应该修饰的是“the plowman”,作者在这里用来修饰“way”,使这句话勾勒出一幅筋疲力尽的农夫步履蹒跚地走向家园的画面。故本题选D。

  • 第3题:

    What is the main rhetoric device used in "The Pentagon was divided on the air strike. "


    A.Synecdoche.

    B.Metonymy.

    C.Metaphor.

    D.Oxymoron.

    答案:B
    解析:
    考查修辞学。题干意思是:“The Pentagon was divided on the air strike.”这句话主要用了什么修辞手法上面句子的字面意思是“五角大楼就空袭事件产生分歧”,显然不合理,实际应该是五角大楼里的人对空袭事件意见不。这里的“五角大楼”一词是美国国防部的代名词,指代在这座建筑里工作的人。英语中将借代通称为metonymy(换喻、转喻),指用一个事物来取代另一个相关事物。这种修辞手法可以使语言更丰富、更生动,也可以避免重复。在新闻写作中,这个修辞手法会经常被用来帮助创造多样性。故选B。synecdoche(提喻)通常指用事物本身的一部分来代替其整体。比如以hands代persons,以wheels代car。metaphor(隐喻/暗喻)是简缩了的明喻,是将某一事物的名称用于另一事物,通过比较形成。oxymoron(矛盾修饰法)是把两个意思相反、互相矛盾或互不协调的词用在一起,以产生警句式的修辞效果。

  • 第4题:

    What rhetorical device is used in the underlined part of the sentence There was an eloquent pause after the story was told?

    A.Pun.
    B.Simile.
    C.Metaphor.
    D.Transferred epithet.

    答案:D
    解析:
    考查词语异常搭配的修辞效果。转移修饰(也称移就)是用表示甲性质或特征的形容词、过去分词或现在分词来修饰不同属性的乙,使词语搭配产生变异,造成突出。转移修饰能使人产生形象联想,收到情景交融、耐人寻味的表达效果。如题干中划线句子的eloquent pause一词意味深长:谁听罢那故事,都会心悦诚服,无言以对。只好默不作语了。

  • 第5题:

    What rhetoric device is used in the sentence "Many hands make light work"


    A.Synecdoche.

    B.Simile.

    C.Metaphor.

    D.Oxymoron.

    答案:A
    解析:
    考查修辞手法。Synecdoche是提喻,即用个别代替群体或者用群体代替个别;simile是明喻,如I wanderedlonely as a cloud;metaphor是暗喻,如Myloveis a red red rose;oxymoron是矛盾修饰法。如sweet sorrow。题干中Manyhandsmake lightwork意思是“众人拾柴火焰高”,其中的hands代指people,属于用部分代替整体,使用的是提喻修辞手法。故选A。
