metaphor－－暗喻
Metaphor：以此物隐喻彼物,将某一事物以另一个与其相似的事物来表达,是一种含蓄的比喻,暗示有比较,但又不充分说出这种比较.如：the key to the mystery(即解开奥秘的方法就像开门的钥匙一样)；the light of knowledge(知识之光)；to have a stone face(表情呆板)等.隐喻不用比喻词,但可以用be动词或者只用逗号、破折号将本体和喻体连起来.例如：
This gives the muscles of your lens and it is a chance to shift position,a sort of "get up and stretch" period.(句中"get up and stretch"是暗喻,用人起身伸懒腰比喻肌肉放松,没有用比喻词.)
The green plant is a kind of food factory.(把绿色植物说成一种食物工厂.)
The next day he had a very red face.第二天他非常尴尬.(脸红暗指不好意思.)
