Reserve a place for Personification
上次講的比喻修辭同學們是否已經會運用了呢?其實,在寫作過程中,若能用上三大從句,非謂語,倒裝和虛擬已經很不錯了。而在我們的閱卷過程中,總有一些同學能讓我們眼前一亮的東西,先看個例子:
1. May 10th makes a perfect day to organize this thrilling competition, for there will be a strong but not wild wind.
2. we will hold a thrilling competition on May 10th, for there will be a strong but not wild wind .
兩句話一比較,其實就能看出第一句話的優勢,和常規寫作手法不一樣,但又不違反語法規則。用may 10th 做主語,原本沒有生命的日期被賦予生命,讓我們看到新的生機, 通過寫作手法,用有情襯託無情,或者用無情襯託有情,抒發情感,這就是擬人的魅力。
教材中的擬人:
1. A night the earth didn't sleep.B1U4
2. There was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound.
3.Slowly, the city began to breathe again. B1U4
4. The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all. B1U5
5. Seeing such extraordinary beauty, I think every cell in my body woke up. B7U3
我要說的是,此類寫作修辭我們的老祖宗早就用過了,而且用的很廣泛:
1.「滿堂花醉三千客,一劍光寒十四州。」---唐 貫休和尚 《獻錢尚父》
2.「月落烏啼霜滿天,江楓漁火對愁眠。」---唐 張繼《楓橋夜泊》
3.「無邊落木蕭蕭下,不盡長江滾滾來。」 ---唐 杜甫《登高》
如此廣泛的運用,那麼擬人的手法的魅力有以下三個方面:
①可以使情景交融。
②可以更好地烘託氣氛,抒發感情。
③使所描寫的事物具有人的言行和思想感情,更生動逼真。
People say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams. And if, unfortunately, Mr. Reality wins this war, then I see no future of mankind at all. AIDS will never be curable as this IS the reality; People living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this IS the reality; Disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance IS the reality.---<第11屆21世杯演講比賽>
我們看看在真實寫作中同學們寫的擬人句
1....this activity welcomes...
2....Chinese tea culture, which enjoys...
3. Falling on Apr. 18th, the tea ceremony ...
4. May 10th makes a perfect day...
5. The activity, which falls on Apr. 1st
以上的例子中,既有謂語也有非謂語,通過動詞來實現擬人。通過日期,活動,儀式等原本沒有生命的物體被賦予生命,打開讀者的想像力,從而給文章增添新的生機。以上同學做的非常棒!這只是期中一部分例子,相信接下來的同學能寫出更多更好的擬人句,我們下期再見。
