Simile:A direct comparison between two or more unlike things; normally introduced by like or as 关于英语Simile，有两点须加以说明： 一、Simile(明喻)通常由三部分构成，即本体(tenor或subject)、喻体(vehicle或reference)和比喻词(comparative word) 或(indicator of resemblance)。可图示如下： Marriage is like a beleaguered fortress: ↓ ↓ ↓ (tenor) (comparative word) (vehicle) those who are without want to get in, and those within want to get out. ( P. M. Quitard) 英语里有不少含有明喻的成语，其结构为as+形容词+as+名词。例如： as sly as a fox 像狐狸一样狡猾 as slow as a tortoise 像乌龟一样缓慢 as motionless as a statue 像雕塑一动不动 as firm as a rock 坚如磐石 as light as a feather 轻如鸿毛 Free Translation as stupid as a goose 笨得像猪 as stubborn as a mule 倔得像牛 a lion in the way 拦路虎 a rat in the hole 瓮中之鳖 a lions den 虎穴 black busy timid hungry brave As ____________as a bat As ____________as a bee As ____________as a lion As ____________as a wolf As ____________as a rabit How to Translate He works 1ike a horse／beaver／Trojan／black. 他拼命地干活。 They spent money like water. 他们挥金如土。 He talks like a book. 他老是文绉绉地说话。 He eats like a horse. 他吃得很多。 Metaphor :an implied comparison between two or more unlike things achieved by identifying one with the other.

On the table lay some dog-eared books . 桌上躺着几本折了角的书. 2. The trees stood greener after the rain . 雨后的树木更加葱翠 . 借喻（Metonymy) Defination: the name of something is used to represent a more general but closely-related thing 用某事物的名称去代表一个更一般的，但密切相关的事物。 借喻是比隐喻更进一步的比喻，它根本不说出本体事物，直接用比事物代替本体事物。 Classification: 1、借容器代替内容。 eg.
