Unit Three

1. I am still just as ignorant for all your telling me.

I still know very little about flowers despite that you have told me a lot about them.

2. But now as he spoke, that memory faded. His was the truer.

While he was speaking, her memory about that afternoon disappeared gradually; his memory was the truer one: they did have a good time that afternoon.

3. He had lost all that vagueness and indecision.

He was no longer the man of six years ago who was very impractical, full of dreams, not clear about what he should do with his life.

4. Now he had the air of a man who has found his place in life.

He became better-looking, much richer, and more mature.

5. As he spoke...she felt the strange beast that had slumbered so long within her bosom stir, stretch itself, yawn, prick up its ears, and suddenly bound to its feet, and fix its longing, hungry stare upon those far away places.

Her long-cherished wish to travel to all those distant and mysterious places was just like a strange beast. It had been hidden deep in her heart fro quite a long time, but now this old wish seemed to be suddenly awakened.

Unit Four

1. He had opened his eyes with the sun at dawn, scatched, done his business like a dog at the roadside...

In the morning he woke when the sun rose and emptied his bowels or passed water like a dog at the roadside.

2. Live without conventions, which are artificial and false; escape complexities and extravagances; only so can you live a free life.

Only by living simply and without considering useless conventions can you live a real free life.

3. They possess him. He is their slave. In order to procure a quantity of false, perishable goods he has sold the only true, lasting good, his own independence.

All those wealth controls and enslaves him and he loses his independence in trying hard to get those things.

4. His life’s aim was clear to him: it was “to restamp the currency”: to take the clean metal of human life, to erase the old false conventional markings, and to imprint it with its true values.

His life’s aim was very clear: to get rid of the old, false conventional markings from people’s life and tell people the true meaning of life.

5. He was the man of the hour, of the century...

He was the most successful, important, powerful, or talked about person of the present time.

Unit Nine

1. At the edge of a new century, globlization is a double-edged sword: a powerful vehicle...but also an immensely controversial process that assaults national sovereignty, erodes local culture and tradition and threatens economic and social instability.

As the new century comes near, globalization means two different things. It can have both negative and positive effects. On the one hand, it can greatly increase economic production, spread new technology and

improve the living standards in both rich and poor countries; on the other hand, it is highly controversial because it threatens national sovereignty, destroys local culture and tradition, and is likely to cause economic and social instability.

2. Behind the merger boom lies the growing corporate conviction that many markets have become truly global. By trying to maximize their presence in as many nations as possible, companies seek to achieve economies of scale.

The reason for the merger boom is that more and more business people now believe that many markets have truly become global. They are no longer producing just for the people in their own country. They want to combine or merge with others tobecome multinational companies. By trying their best to enlarge their presence in as many countries as possible, their companies will be more successful with economies of scale.

3. ...as a result of “crony capitalism,“inept government investment policies and excess optimism, much of the investment had been wasted...

Because of the corruption in those countries where political and financial resources were in the hands of a few privileged people along with their dishonest friends, the foolish governemnt policies and

unreasonable optimism, much of the investment was wasted on unneeded factories and a real estate bubble.

4. The street protesters...may have lacked a common agenda or even a coherent case against trade. But they...reflected the anxiety and anger that globalization often inspires.

The street protesters...may not have a common program or even

well-reasoned case against free trade. But they showed clearly their worries and anger about globalization.

英语修辞简介

语法管语言“通顺不通顺”;逻辑管语言“合理不合理”;修辞管语言“优不优美”。语言美完全由修辞来决定,由此可见,修辞学在语言学习过程具有不可低估的重要意义。 从翻译教学的目的来看,学生大致掌握下列二十种修辞格就可以了,它们是:明喻(simile);隐喻(metaphor);移就(transferred epithet);拟人(personification);借代(metonymy);低调陈述(understatement);委婉(euphemism);夸张(hyperbole);典故(allusion);对照(antithesis);平行(parallelism);隽语(paradox);矛盾修饰(oxymoron);突降(antiticlimax);重复(repetion);头韵(alliteration);双关(pun);反语(irony);仿拟(parody);轭式搭配(zeugma) 从应用范围来看,英语修辞格的运用可谓无处不在,从各种体裁的文学作品、到数量繁多的习语、谚语、警语、格言、商品广告和交际口语,到处都可发现修辞格的踪影。只有科技英语和法律英语由于要求客观公允、精炼准确,修辞格的运用相对来说要少些。 从翻译手法上来看,英语翻译的方法可以归纳为三种手法:直译法、意译法和直译加注法。但是不管采取什么样的翻译方法,都应该尽量保留原修辞格的语言文化特色,努力传递出各种修辞格的结构美、意蕴美和音韵美。 反语修辞格 所谓反语修辞格,就是把正面意思反过来说或把反面意思说成正面意思的修辞方法,即词语的真实含义往往与其字面意思相反。这种修辞方法便于挖苦、讽刺、俏皮、幽默。如:What a noble illustration of the tender laws of his favored country!-They let the paopers go to sleep! 他们竟允许穷人睡觉!——多么“高尚”的例证!多么“仁慈”的法律!多么“可爱”的国家!(这句话正话反说,19世纪时期英国政府对待穷人的态度昭然若揭,下层人的苦难生活用一种极具讽刺意味的方式表达出来。) 明喻 明喻就是直接将甲事物比作乙事物的修辞格,是最常用,也是最简单的修辞手法。在我国俗称“打比方”。明喻修辞格应用范围十分广泛,几乎可以运用于任何一种文体(包括科技英语)。比如:Using this instrument is like trying to pick up one grain of rice with chopsticks: possible, but difficult for the uninitiated. 明喻不但可用来写景状物、刻画人物还可用来叙事说理;精当的明喻可以极大地增强语言的联想性、形象性、鲜明性、具体性和通俗性。例如:Habit may be likened to a cable: we weave a thread of it every day, and it becomes so strong that we can not break it. 把habit 喻为cable,使读者轻易就领悟到“积习难改”的道理。再如这句服装广告词:Light as a breeze, soft as a cloud. 把这种衣服的质量描写得十分真切,读之让人顿生遐思。 明喻修辞格大多数情况下都可采用直译法进行翻译,但要注意保留其生动性和形象性。 夸张 具体而言夸张修辞格就是为了强调而故意夸大事实,以强调事物的重要性或感情色彩。比如:When I hear the word culture, I reach for my rovoler.(我一听到这个词,就像伸手掏手枪。)夸张是一种十分常用的修辞格,各种文体都可找到应用的例证,现代广告词更是经常使用。例如:We have hidden a garden full of vegetables where you’d never expect—in a pie. 这则广告更是把小小馅饼营养夸大到了无以复加的地步。在看看德国航空公司的一则广告:Making a big world smaller. 通过夸张,把这航空公司业务遍及全球各地的信息及其自信地传递出来。 夸张修辞格有时可照字面意思直译;但有时却不能直译,需要抛却夸饰成分,适当意译或引申,才能得到符合汉语习惯的上好译文。

高级英语课文修辞总结

英语修辞大全

本文根据《大学英语》中出现的最常见的几种修辞格加以分析,希望有助于大家在学习英语的过程中能够恰当地选择修辞手段来丰富自己的表达。 明喻(Simile) 明喻是一种最简单、最常见的修辞方法,是以两种具有共同特征的事物或现象进行对比,表明本体和喻体的关系,两者都在对比中出现,其基本格式是“A像B”,常用的比喻词有as, like, as if, as though等。例如: ●He jumped back as if he had been stung, and the blood rushedsint oshis wrinkled face.(他往后一跳,好像被什么东西叮了一下似的,他那张布满皱纹的脸顿时涨得通红。)在《品尝家》一文中老人对“我”的慷慨施舍的反应如同被蜜蜂叮过一样,生动地刻画出一个处境凄凉内心却极度敏感的可怜老人的形象。 ●The cheque fluttered to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. (支票跌落到地上,像一只断了翅膀的小鸟。)《礼物》一文中,老太太喜迎八十大寿,大女儿不来庆祝,只寄来一张支票。作者把这张支票比作断了翅膀的小鸟,形象地表达出此刻老太太希望破灭,极度伤心的心情。 暗喻(Metaphor) 暗喻也是一种比喻,但不用比喻词,因此被称作缩减了的明喻(a compressed simile)。它直接把一种事物名称用在另一事物上,从而更生动、更深刻地说明事理,增强语言的表现力。例如: ●What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter? (如果没有这位电子保姆,父母该怎么办呢?)形象地说明了电视机的保姆功用。 ●... while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.(……但是我们中的很多人太容易给别人批评的冷风,而不愿意给自己的同伴赞扬

(使用like或as等词语的)明喻 明喻是一种最简单、最常见的修辞方法,是以两种具有共同特征的事物或现象进行对比,表明本体和喻体的关系,两者都在对比中出现,其基本格式是“A像B”,常用的比喻词有as, like, as if, as though等。如果使用得当可以把深奥的道理说得通俗、浅显、明白,使人可见可感可悟,把简单的事物表达的更为形象更为生动。例如: Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two.(正如爬山,我们费力爬上三英尺,又掉下去两英尺。)(大学英语第一册第三单元课文B) I see also the dull, drilled, docile, brutish masses of the Hun soldiery blodding on like a swarm of crawling locusts.(丘吉尔在此使用了一个恰当的比喻,把德国士兵比作蝗虫,因为二者有着共同之处-传播毁灭。) 2暗喻(the metaphor) metaphor -简明英汉词典 ['met?f?] n. 隐喻

暗喻也是一种比喻,但不用比喻词,因此被称作缩减了的明喻(a compressed simile)。它是根据两个事物间的某些共同的特征,用一事物去暗示另一事物的比喻方式。本体和喻体之间不用比喻词,只是在暗中打比方,从而更生动、更深刻地说明事理,增强语言的表现力。例如: I will do anything I can to help him through life's dangerous sea.(我将全力帮助他穿越人生的惊涛骇浪。)(第二册第三单元课文A) Consider that the same cultural soil producing the English language also nourished the great principles of freedom and right of man in the modern world.(想想吧,孕育英语的文化土壤也同样为当今世界培育了自由和人权准则。)(大学英语第二册第七单元课文A) Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding.(每一封信就像落在肥沃土地上的种子,浪漫之花含苞待放。)(大学英语第一册地五单元课文A) 3 转喻(the metonymy) 转喻是通过相近的联想,借喻体代替本体。转喻是比隐喻更进一步的比喻,它根本不说出本体事物,直接用比喻事物代替本体事物。例如: The buses in America 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)。“Well,”said the doctor.“I will do all that science can accomplish. But whenever my patient begins to count the carriages in her funeral porcession I subtract 50 per cent from the curative power of medicines.”(“好吧,”医生说,“我会尽力做到科学能做到的,但每当我的病人开始数自己葬礼上的马车时,药物的疗效就会减掉一半。”)(大学英语第三册第六单元课文A) 4夸张(the exaggeration) exaggeration -英汉双向大词典 D.J.[?g?z?d???re???n] - exaggeration n. 1.夸张,夸大 2.夸张的言语;夸张的手法 - Exaggeration n. 夸张;夸大 把事物的特征,有意地加以夸大或缩小,就叫夸张,即采用“言过其实”的说法,使事物的本质特征更好地呈现出来。英语中夸张修辞格,应用极为频繁。夸张的功能是突出事物的本质特征,因而给人强烈印象或警悟、启发。例如:

It is a figure of speech which makes a comparison between two unlike elements having at least one quality or characteristic in common. To make the comparison, words like as, as...as, as if and like are used to transfer the quality we associate with one to the other. 例如: 1>.He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow. 2>.I wandered lonely as c cloud. 3>.Einstein only had a blanket on, as if he had just walked out of a fairy tale. 4>.This elephant is like a snake as anybody can see. 这头象和任何人见到的一样像一条蛇。 5>.He looked as if he had just stepped out of my book of fairytales and had passed me like a spirit. 他看上去好像刚从我的童话故事书中走出来,像幽灵一样从我身旁走过去。 6>.It has long leaves that sway in the wind like slim fingers reaching to touch something. 它那长长的叶子在风中摆动,好像伸出纤细的手指去触摸什么东西似的。 7>.Carlos Lehder was to cocaine transportation what Henry Ford was to cars. 隐喻,暗喻 隐喻是将某一事物的名称用于另一事物,通过比较形成。这种比喻不通过比喻词进行,而是直接将用事物当作乙事物来描写,甲乙两事物之间的联系和相似之处是暗含的。It is like a simile, also makes a comparison between two unlike elements, but unlike a simile, this comparison is implied rather than stated.
