本月的晨讀最喜歡的是學(xué)到了不少修辭手段,尤其是詞與詞的照應(yīng),句與句的照應(yīng),以及段與段的照應(yīng)。
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose?symbolic?shadow?we?stand today,?signed the Emancipation Proclamation.農(nóng)奴解放宣言
1.注意韻律:頭韻
2. 表達(dá)要有層次,不要把所有信息變成主要信息,否則就沒有所謂的主要信息。
3. 插入語可以減緩一個(gè)句子的節(jié)奏,顯得更凝重
This?momentous?decree?came as a great beacon light of hope?to millions of Negro slaves who?had been seared?in the flames of withering injustice.
momentous:?比important 語義強(qiáng)
had been seared:?1.注意時(shí)態(tài)呼應(yīng) 2. 注意sear語義比suffer更強(qiáng),水深火熱中
It came as a?joyous daybreak?to?end?the?long night?of thier captivity.
注意與前句的照應(yīng):
joyous對應(yīng)had been seared
long night對應(yīng)a great beacon light of hope
captivity對應(yīng)withering injustice
But one hundred years later, the Negro still isnot free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation?and the chains of discrimination.
1. parallel construction
2. 尾韻? segregation?discrimination
3. choice of words: manacle=chain
4.形象的動(dòng)詞:China now is crippled by the manacles of corruption and the chains of discrimination.
安格魯薩克遜和拉丁語的交替使用:sadly; segregation
