  怎样学习托福听力修辞?在考试中同学们要应对各种难题,新航道托福小编搜集了下面的知识,希望对同学们的考试有帮助。

  Hyperbole(夸张)

  试比较以下托福听力短对话的两种回答方式:

  Have you asked your brother to do the dishes?

  1)Yes, many times.(遍了。)

  2)Yes, a thousand times.(无数次了。)

  很明显,种回答方式不如第二种生动,因为a thousand times(无数次)使用了Hyperbole(夸张)的修辞手法。Hyperbole一词源于希腊语的huperbole,意思是exceed(超过),是一种故意夸大其词(overstatement)或言过其实的修辞手法;其特点是对表达对象进行有违常识或不合逻辑的夸张性描写,以达到强烈的修辞效果。如:a river of tears (泪河)、a mountain of coal (煤山)、oceans of people (人海)...Hyperbole(夸张)在TOEFL听力中的运用也可谓炉火纯青。

  比如:

  1)You are my lifesaver.(你是我的“救命恩人”。)

  2)You are 100% right.(你“百分之百”的正确。)

  3)My back killed me.(我的腰痛的厉害。)

  4)You make me feel guilty. (你让我感觉像是在犯罪。)

  5)I haven't seen you for ages. (好久不见了呀!)

  6)I could sleep for a whole year. (我太困了。)

  7)We're all tired to death. (我们快累死了。)

  当然,除了TOEFL听力,Hyperbole(夸张)的修辞手法在英语语言文学中的经典范例不胜枚举:

  1)One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters. (George Herbert) (一个父亲的作用大于100个教师。)

  2)It's a crime to stay inside on such a beautiful day. (今天阳光明媚,躲在家中实在太遗憾了。)

  3)A drop of ink may make a million think.(George G Byron)(一滴墨水写成的文字可让千万人思索。)

  Simile(明喻)

  试比较以下两种TOEFL听力表达方式:

  1)He spent a lot of money.(他花了大笔的钱。)

  2)He spent a lot of money, like water.(他花钱如流水。)

  2.As引导

  1)She is as beautiful as a flower.(她像花一样的美丽。)

  2)“I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as am angel, I am as merry as a school boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man...”(Charles Dickens)(我像羽毛一样轻,我像天使一样幸福,我像小学生一样快活,我像喝醉了酒的人一样飘飘然……)

  3)The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me as if I had gained a new friend.

  (我头一回读到一本好书,对我来说好象交了一位新朋友。)

  注意:As引导的as...as结构在英语中得到了广泛应用,若能在口语交流或各种作文考试(如:TWE等)中用上一个,定会得到意想不到的效果,常用的as结构有:

  (as) firm as a rock坚如磐石

  (as) light as a feather轻如鸿毛

  (as) close as an oyster守口如瓶

  (as) mute as a fish噤若寒蝉

  (as) strong as a horse强壮如牛

  (as) cool as a cucumber泰然自若

  (as) sober as a judge十分清醒

  (as) sure as a gun千真万确

  托福听力修辞在备考中有信息是同学们可以在学习中认真备考的,新航道托福小编预祝同学们在取得优异的成绩,顺利结束考试。
