高分求有关英语修辞手法的问题!1

是用的暗喻 metaphor
还用了 Biblical allusion ----apple of one's eye 出自《旧约· 申命记》( the Old Testament,Deuteronomy),“掌上明珠,宝贝,心爱之物”.犹太人先知摩西带领以色列入逃离埃及,历尽千辛万苦,最后终于进入上帝应许的乐土伽南(Cannon)时,他说：上帝保护他们,照顾他们,像自己的掌上明珠一般.(He protected them and cared for them,as He would the apple of His eye.)后来人们就用apple of one's eye表示“掌上明珠,心肝宝贝”.
apple of one's eye :one that is highly cherished （Merriam Webster的释义）
