1. Narrative Voice and Point of View | 叙事声音与视角
First-person narrator uses 'I' or 'we', restricting the reader to one character's consciousness. Mnemonic: 'I' stands for 'inside the head' of one character.
第一人称叙述者使用 '我' 或 '我们' 讲述故事，读者的视角被限制在叙述者的意识中。记忆法：'我'（I）代表 '在一个角色的头脑内部'。
Third-person omniscient is a narrator outside the story who knows all characters' thoughts and feelings. Mnemonic: 'omni' means 'all', and 'scient' means 'knowing' — an all-knowing narrator.
第三人称全知叙述者处于故事之外，知道所有角色的思想和情感。记忆法：'omni' 意思是 '全部'，'scient' 表示 '知道'——一个无所不知的叙述者。
Third-person limited follows one character closely but does not enter others' minds. Mnemonic: 'limited' rhymes with 'limit' — the camera stays limited to one person.
第三人称有限视角叙述者紧密跟随一个角色，但不进入其他人物的内心。记忆法：'limited' 与 'limit' 有关——镜头始终限制在一个人身上。
Free indirect discourse occurs when third-person narration slips into a character's inner voice without quotation marks. Mnemonic: 'free' means the character's voice flows freely into the narrator's voice.
自由间接引语是第三人称叙述滑入角色内心独白，不使用引号。记忆法：'free' 表示角色的声音自由地流入叙述者的声音中。
Unreliable narrator is a narrator whose account the reader cannot fully trust. Mnemonic: the prefix 'un-' means 'not' — not reliable, so question everything.
不可靠叙述者的叙述让读者无法完全相信。记忆法：前缀 'un-' 表示 '不'——不可靠，所以要质疑一切。
2. Key Poetry Sound Terms | 诗歌音韵核心术语
Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds. Mnemonic: 'alliteration' starts with 'a' for 'alphabet' — same starting letters.
头韵是词首辅音的重复。记忆法：'alliteration' 首字母是 'a'，联想字母表——相同的起始字母。
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words. Mnemonic: 'assonance' contains 'son', which sounds like 'song' — vowels are the singing sounds.
谐元音是词内元音的重复。记忆法：'assonance' 中含有 'son'，听起来像 'song'（歌）——元音是歌唱的声音。
Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds anywhere in words. Mnemonic: 'consonance' contains 'conso' like 'consonant'.
谐辅音是辅音在词中任何位置的重复。记忆法：'consonance' 内含 'conso'，与 'consonant'（辅音）相似。
