修辭手法移就

1、Definition：A transferred epithet is，as its name implies, a figure of speech where an epithet( an adjective or descriptive phrase )is transferred from the none it should rightly modify to another to which it does not really belong. Generally, the epithet is transferred from a person to a thing or ide

2、a.移就 Transferred Epithet是英語中常用的一種修辭格，漢譯“移就修飾”，亦稱“轉(zhuǎn)移修飾”，“移位修飾”或簡(jiǎn)稱“移就”。這種修辭格一是把本來應(yīng)該用來修飾甲事物性質(zhì)或狀態(tài)的詞用來修飾了乙事物，轉(zhuǎn)個(gè)彎子擊表示甲事物給人的感覺。在現(xiàn)代英語中，最常見的是把本來用以修飾人的詞組甩來修飾事物。二是從形式上看，修飾語修飾的是某個(gè)中心名詞，然而在意義上，修飾語中的名詞卻是被修飾的對(duì)象。 ExamplesHis story achieved nothing but cheap laughs. 他的故事僅僅賺了點(diǎn)廉價(jià)的笑聲。That was a stupid place to keep your

3、 money. 你真蠢，怎么把錢放在那種地方呢？I buried my head under the miserable sheet and rug, and cried like a child. 我一頭扎進(jìn)被單和毯子里面，像孩子一樣傷心地哭了起來。He said “Yes” to the question in an unthinking moment. 他對(duì)這個(gè)問題不假思索地回答“是”He passed a dreary thoughtful day. 他在憂郁和沉思中度過了一天。The old man put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. 老人把一

4、只令人安心的手放在我的肩膀上。They prolonged the clasp for the photographer, exchanging smiling words.他們邊笑邊談，以此延長(zhǎng)握手時(shí)間，好讓攝影師拍照。Pun Definition: To pun is to play on words, or rather to play with the form and meaning of words, for a witty or humorous effect.雙關(guān) 定義：在一定的語言環(huán)境中，利用詞的多義和同音的條件，有意使語句具有雙重意義，言在此而意在彼，這種修辭手法叫做雙關(guān)。

5、 好處：雙關(guān)可使語言表達(dá)得含蓄、幽默，而且能加深寓意，給人以深刻印象。 Example1 When does the baker follow his trade? Whenever he kneads the dough.譯文：面包師傅什么時(shí)候營業(yè)？ 每當(dāng)他揉面的時(shí)候。賞析：這個(gè)幽默利用need（需要）和knead（揉面）這一對(duì)同音異義詞，并配上dough一詞的多義性（既作“生面”又作“錢”解），形成兩個(gè)雙關(guān)幽默。此例是利用詞的同音形成雙關(guān)。Example2 Judge: What makes you think you could park your car there? Tourist: Well, there was a big sign that read: Fine for parking.”譯文：法官：你怎么想到把車停在那里？ 游客：啊，哪里有個(gè)牌子，上面寫著： 適于泊車！賞析：英語單詞fine既有“好”的意思，也可表示“罰款”。Example3 Customer: Waiter, will the pancakes be long? Waiter: Oh
