下面我就把几种重要的修辞手段进行总结，希望能够对备考的SAT考生有所帮助。 Understatement：低调的陈述 定义：A figure of speech which contains an understatement of emphasis, and therefore the opposite of hyperbole. Often used in everyday speech and usually with laconic or ironic intentions. 这种修辞格是故意使用有节制的措辞来陈述事实，故意轻描淡写，借低调与弱化语言形式来表示强调。 例子：1.I know he is honest, and I wish I could add he were capable. 我知道他是诚实的，我还希望我能说他是能干的。 此句也是用虚拟语气来体现understatement，I could add he were capable其实是在说但他不够能干。 2.The face wasnt a bad one; it had what they called charm. 面孔不算难看，有一般人所称的妩媚。 此句不是冲淡她的魅力，而是采用低调渲染，意即The face was sweet; her charm conquered everybody. 明似贬抑，实则褒扬. simile:明喻 定义：A figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared. 明喻是一种修辞手法，把两种基本不相像的东西进行比较. 例子：1.He is something of a political chameleon.他有点象政治上的变色龙 |
