接着,我对这篇散文进行一下修辞分析:
Winter brings blizzards, hot tornadic winds ari in the spring,and in summer the prairie is an anvil's edge. The grass turns brittle and brown,and it cracks beneath your feet. There are green belts along the rivers and crees, linear groves of hickory and pecan, wilow and witch hazel.mir3>诸葛亮儿子 At a distance in July or August the steaming foliage ems almost to writhe in fire. Great green-and-yellow grasshoppers are everywhere in the tall grass ,popping up like corn to sting the flesh,and tortois crawl about on the red earth, going nowhere in the plenty of time。
1、“the prairie is an anvil's edge ” 是暗喻,把大草原说成是铁砧,即大草原像铁砧一样热。没有通过比喻词,直接将大草原当作铁砧来描写,两者之间的联系和相似之处是暗含的。
2、“brittle and brown, wilow and witch Great green-and-yellow grasshoppers”是头韵,头韵是在一组词的开头或重读音节中对相同辅音或不同元音的重复。brittle 和 brown都以“
b”开头,wilow 和 witch均以“w”开头,还有Great green-and-yellow grasshoppers,出现相同的“g”.本文频繁运用头韵修辞,表现了作者对语言的韵律、发音很感兴趣。使读者读起来朗朗上口。下文也多处出现头韵
3、“At a distance in July or August the steaming foliage ems almost to writhe in fire”.是拟人修辞,把树叶说成是在火里挣扎,即即将树叶拟人化。生动的描写了七八月份的雨山酷热无比。
“popping up like corn to sting the flesh”是明喻修辞,将高草里的蚂蚱的突然跳跃说成是像玉米花爆裂开一样,刺得人痛。本句话有明显的“like”喻词。
My grandmorther was spared the humiliation of tho high gray walls by eight or ten years,but she must have known from birth the affliction of defeat,the dark brooding of old warrior.
“tho high gray walls”代指上文所说石头畜栏。运用了提喻修辞两性质相同的事物进行互代。生动形象
