一.明喻（Simile)
两种具有共同特征的事物或现象进行对比（直接比喻），表明本体和喻体的关系，两者都在对比中出现，其基本格式是“A像B",常用的比喻词有as,like,as if, as though等。
eg: 1.The Snow was like a white blanket drawn over the field.
2.Like climbling a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two.(正如爬山，我们费力三英尺，又掉下去两英尺。）

二.暗喻（the metaphor)
不用比喻词，根据两个事物间的某些共同特征，用一事物去暗示另一事物的比喻方式。
eg:1.I will do anything I can to help him through life's dangerous sea.(我将全力帮助他穿越人生的惊涛骇浪。）
2.Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was building.(每一封信就像落在肥沃土地上的种子，浪漫之花含苞待放。）
3. You are your mother's glass.(你是你母亲的翻版。）
4.Hope is a good breakfast, but it's a bad supper.
辨别体会：He has a heart of stone. (暗喻）
He has a heart like stone. (明喻）

三.拟人（Personification)
把物比做人，人格化。
eg: 1.The sun looks over the mountain's rim. (太阳挂在山边。）
2.The moans of the autumn wind wound in the deep of the the mountain.(秋风的呻吟萦绕在大山深处。）
3.Flu stalked about,touching one here and there with his evil finger.(流感四处游荡，用它罪恶的手指碰碰这个，碰碰那个。）

四.夸张(Hyperbole)
夸大，表达比实际事情更高，更强烈，更集中。
eg: I haven't seen you gor ages.(几辈子不见了）
2. My gray hair can make a long long rope.(白发三千丈）
3.He hurried to the railway station, looking at his watch a hundred times.(他匆匆朝火车站去，看了一百遍表。）

五.排比（Parallelism)
句式相同，
eg.Large shopping centers provide not only pleasant environment, abundant goods but also excellent services.

其它修辞手法还有双关（pun),拟声（onomatcpocia),头韵法（alliteration),反复(Repetition)，倒装(Inversion)等。
