明喻
明喻是常用as或like等词将两种不同事物通过比较而连接起来的一种修辞手法。
让我们看几个例子：
好的咖啡如同友谊，丰厚，温暖，热烈。
人生就像一罐沙丁鱼，我们大家都在找开启的起子。
他这人就像一只骄傲的公鸡，以为太阳升起是为了它的啼叫。
暗喻
暗喻是将两种有共同点的不同事物进行隐晦比较的修辞手法。
明喻与暗喻的不同点就在于是否有出现like或者as（像）这一类比喻词，下面这几个句子都是暗喻：
幽默是生活的减震器,它可以鼓舞人们付诸于行动。
时间，你这个小偷。
可是我的心是孤独的猎手，在孤独的小山上狩猎。
拟人
拟人是一种为无生命或抽象物体赋予人类特质与能力的修辞手法。
奥利奥：牛奶最喜爱的曲奇。
大风凛冽,发出怒吼。
这里唯一的'怪物就是赌博怪物，它将你母亲沦为奴隶！我叫它赌棍，该把你母亲从他的霓虹灯魔爪下救出来的时候了！
委婉语
委婉语是使用较委婉含蓄的语言替换强烈冒犯的话语。
这种修辞可能听起来陌生，但在日常生活中的使用频率其实很高。比如，老人去世的时候我们会采用“过世”、“走了”这一类的话语，这其实就是委婉语。英文里也有类似的用法，了解委婉语背后真正的含义对阅读英语文章也是很有帮助的哦~下面我们就一起看几个例子：
elder citizen老年人（不用old people）
pass away逝世（不用die）
You've got a prime figure.你的体态丰腴。（不用fat）
双关语
双关语是指利用同词不同义或是同音不同词来制造文字游戏的一种修辞方式。
部分电视剧的幽默效果就是通过双关语来实现的。
生前劳碌奔命，死后化灰入土。
（earn与urn(火化)同音异义，用在一起显得俏皮，别有趣味。）
七天不进水，人就会虚弱。
weak和week是同音异义词。因此这句话听起来可以理解为：
Seven days without water makes one week.
头韵
押头韵是指重复单词第一个辅音的修辞方式。
头韵是英语语音修辞的一种，体现了语言的音乐美和整齐美。广为熟知的一本名著《傲慢与偏见》（Pride and Prejudice）的书名就体现了头韵。常见的例子还有：
first and foremost首先
with might and main 尽全力地
saints and sinners 圣人与罪人
in weal and (or) woe无论是福是祸
矛盾修辞法
矛盾修辞法是一种修辞手段，它是用两种不相调和，甚至截然相反的词语来形容一件事物。
这个定义是不是听起来云里雾里的呢？让我们先用中文的例子来理解一下~
宝玉道：“我呢？你们也替我想一个。”
宝钗笑道：“你的号早有了，无事忙三字恰当得很！”
上文的“无事忙”就是矛盾修辞法，“无事”和“忙”不就是两种截然相反的状态吗？
再来看几个英文例子：
我们只能相信自由意志，除此之外我们别无选择。
他那来源于不名誉的名誉依然如故。
夸张
夸张是对事物着意夸大的修辞方式。
我们在口语中常常会夸大自己的情绪，比如：
我吓死了。
男男女女在表达爱意的时候经常也很夸张：
你是我的全世界，是我的月亮，我的星星……
This thesis would not come into being if I had not received help from mysupervisor, teachers, classmates, and family. They offered me so much encouragement,without which I could have already given up. But before I express my sincerestgratitude to them, I would thank my God. It was always He who first came to help mewhen my faith was influenced by Blakes unorthodox theological thinking. Again itwas He who gave me wisdom and patience to do whatever I did for his glory.
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” (NIV, Ecclesiastes 9:10)And here is the prayer when I was in the valley of despair: “May the favor of the Lordour God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us-yes, establish the workof our hands.” (Psalm 91:17) It is His faithfulness and unfailing love that urged me towrite the thesis with all my might.
My supervisor Xu Xiaodong did offer me so much help that I feel so grateful tohim. He has lent me over thirty valuable monographs, biographies, anthologies, andcollections of essays. Nearly all of the books were bought from abroad at his ownexpense. His fervent love for literature, his relentless pursuit of knowledge, and hismeticulous attitude towards research manifest the personalities and qualities I shouldcultivate as a qualified scholar. Whenever I sent him an article he always gave meprecious suggestions that really improved my critical thinking a lot. For many times Ifailed to keep my promise, he forgave me and kept encouraging me to pursue mystudies. I give my most genuinely gratitude to him for his generous help.
Besides my supervisor, I have benefited from many other teachers. Prof. ZhangRuwen, Prof. Yi Jianhong, Prof. Jiang Yuebin, Sun Jiurong and Wei Lina, they havetaught me many critical approaches and broadened the scope of my knowledge invarious fields of literature. Moreover, I would like to extend my gratitude to myclassmates and roommates. They taught me how to balance study and rest. I alsothank my family, especially my sister, who came to my school many times to visit me.
Her support and comfort gave me much strength.
Lastly my gratitude would be expressed to Charles Gardner, Paul Berger, HelenC. White, Maung Ba-han, S. Foster Damon, J. G. Davies. Even though some of themhave gone to the land where no traveler returns back, their results of years of researchwill be passed down to future generations. Without their researches, students ofWilliam Blake would fumble many more years in the mystical land of the mystic-poet.
William Ralph Inge, Miss Evelyn Underhill, Emily Herman, Joseph B. Collins,without whose systematic exploration of mysticism I would be totally at loss in thevast ocean of this particular human experience.
I would like to extend my deep gratitude to all those who have offered me a lot ofhelp and support in the process of my thesis writing.
First and foremost, my sincere thanks go to Professor Li Changbao, my supervisor,who has offered me numerous valuable comments and suggestions with and encouraged me profoundly throughout my postgraduate study. Without hispainstaking teaching and insightful advice, the completion of this thesis would havebeen impossible.
Also, I owe many thanks to all the professors who have taught me during myprevious study in this university, for leading me into a challenging yet fascinating fieldof academic research. The profit that I gained from them will be of to my future research.
Last but not least, I am deeply indebted to my family and friends, who have helpedme and shared with me my worries, frustrations, and happiness.
