1. Figurative Language | 修辞手法
Simile: A comparison using 'like' or 'as'. Think: 'similar' starts with 'sim'. Example: 'The night was as dark as coal.'
明喻：使用“像”或“如”的比较。记忆口诀：“明”示相似。例句：“夜晚黑得像煤块。”
Metaphor: A direct comparison stating something is another. No 'like' or 'as'. Memory: 'meta' means beyond, a metaphor goes beyond literal. Example: 'All the world's a stage.'
暗喻：直接宣称某事物就是另一事物，不用“像”、“如”。记忆：隐喻是直接的转换。例句：“整个世界是一个舞台。”
Personification: Giving human qualities to inanimate objects or abstract ideas. Remember: 'person' + 'ification'. Example: 'The wind whispered through the trees.'
拟人：赋予无生命物体或抽象概念以人的特征。窍门：想到“人”。例句：“风在树间低语。”
Hyperbole: Extreme exaggeration for effect. Think 'hyper' means over. Example: 'I've told you a million times.'
夸张：为增强效果而故意夸大。联想“超过”。例句：“我已经跟你说了一百万遍。”
Oxymoron: Two contradictory terms placed together. e.g. 'deafening silence', 'bittersweet'. The Greek 'oxy' means sharp, 'moron' dull – sharp-dull.
矛盾修辞法：两个意思相反的词并列组合。如“震耳欲聋的沉默”、“苦乐参半”。源自希腊语“尖锐”与“迟钝”，即尖锐的迟钝。
2. Sound Devices | 声音修辞
Alliteration: Repetition of initial consonant sounds in close words. e.g. 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.' Useful for creating rhythm or mood.
头韵：相邻单词开头辅音的重复。例如“Peter Piper picked...”。常用来营造节奏感或氛围。
Assonance: Repetition of vowel sounds within words. e.g. 'The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.' Memory: 'assonance' has 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u' – vowels.
准押韵(元音叠韵)：单词内部元音的重复。例句：“The rain in Spain stays mainly...”。记法：assonance 包含所有元音字母。
Sibilance: A specific type of alliteration producing a hissing sound with 's', 'sh', 'ch', 'z'. e.g. 'The snake slithered silently.' Creates a sinister or smooth effect.
嘶擦音：一种特殊头韵，通过重复“s”、“sh”、“ch”、“z”等音制造嘶嘶声。例如“The snake slithered silently.” 营造阴险或柔滑的效果。
Onomatopoeia: Words that imitate sounds. e.g. 'buzz', 'crash', 'whisper'. Sound suggests meaning.
拟声词：模仿声音的词。如“嗡嗡”、“哗啦”、“沙沙”。声音暗示意义。
