修辞是写作课的基本知识和基本技能。为了大家更好地掌握和理解修辞手段和能顺利按质按量按时完成作业，我们简单再解释一下课本上列出的若干个修辞手段。

Simile(明喻)

Simile译作“明喻”，顾名思义它是就两个不同类对象之间的相似之处进行比喻。明喻把打比喻的两者说成是相似的，而暗喻则将两者说成一致。同时，明喻的整个句子结构中含有本体、喻体和比喻词。明喻中常用的比喻词有：like，as…as，as if，similar to等等，此外，比较级结构也可构成明喻。

Tommy runs swiftly as a rabbit．            (汤米跑得像兔子一样快。)

Metaphor(暗喻)

Metaphor译作“暗喻”，也称作为“隐喻”，与明喻一样，它也是就两个不同类对象之间的相似之处进行比喻，整个句子结构中含有本体(subject／tenor)和喻体(reference／vehicle)，而比喻词则不出现。本体指被比喻的对象，喻体指用来做比喻的对象，而在暗喻中被省略的比喻词则在本体和喻体之间起连接介绍作用。当然，也有暗喻句子，省略本体只出现喻体，我们需根据上下文体
