metaphor技巧

metaphor 暗喻

It is like a simile, also makes a comparison between two different elements, but unlike a simile, this comparison is implied rather than stated, without using verbal signals such as “like” or “as”. In order to emphasize meaning, metaphors provide a more visual description of the word or phrase being used, often used to indicate the author’s certain implication or attitude.

暗喻与明喻十分类似，也是讲具有某个一起特征的两个不同事物联络在一起，可是不必as，as…as，as if，like，seem等的比方词。与明喻类似，隐喻能把描绘的目标更形象的出现给读者。由于不运用比方词，所以一般咱们会愈加注重与隐喻背面的引申义（implied meaning），而不是仅仅是它的字面义(literal meaning)。请看以下比如：

Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.

Some books are to be tasted, others swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.

The sunshine of happiness is made up of very little beams.

Money is a bottomless sea, in which honor, conscience, and truth may be drowned.

A last-minute compromise between state legislative leaders and Gov. Jerry Brown has cleared the way for a bill that would signi cantly increase the minimum wage in California over the next 2 1/2 years. Not surprisingly, the California Chamber of Commerce called it a "job killer." The chamber is probably right about that to a degree; some employers will eliminate jobs, reduce hours or expand their payrolls more slowly as a consequence of the higher entry-level wage. But the measure will bring much-needed relief to thousands of Californians struggling to get by on the minimum wage today, as well as help the businesses where they'll spend their extra dollars. Because the gains clearly offset the costs, Brown should sign the bill into law.

（节选自Patrick T. Fallon，“Raise the Minimum Wage”）

作者呼吁人们注重最低收入人群，进步社会最低工资标准。但是加利福尼亚州商会把这个方针比作是“作业杀手”，商会这么说也不无道理，这样的方针的确可能会导致部分雇主裁人，削减工时等消沉行动。文章在开篇就点出这项方针施行所收到的阻力，下文用足够的依据标明进步最低工资是民众日子所需，国家经济所需，优点远比害处多。
