Do you know all the common English rhetoric except figurative personification?

Rhetoric is a way and method to improve language expression by modifying and adjusting sentences and using specific expressions. Rhetoric is not only common in Chinese, but also varied in English. In this article, we will talk about common rhetorical devices in English. Simile is a figure of speech in which essentially different things are clearly expressed, usually led out by like or as in phrases. Simile is a rhetorical device that connects two different things by comparing with words such as as as or like. Let's look at some examples: good coffee is like friendship: rich, warm and strong. Good coffee is like friendship, rich, warm and sweet. Life is like opening a can of sardines. We are all looking for the key. Life is like a can of sardines. We are all looking for a screwdriver to open it. He is like a rooster who thinks the sun has risen. He is like a proud rooster, thinking that the sun rises for its crow. Metaphor is a metaphor or figure of speech. In this case, an implied Paris becomes different from something that is actually related. Metaphor is a rhetorical device that makes a subtle comparison between two different things. The difference between simile and metaphor lies in whether there are figurative words like and as. The following sentence is a metaphor: humor is the shock absorber of life; It helps us to take action. Humor is the shock absorber of life, which can inspire people to act. Time, you thief. Time, you thief. But my heart is a lonely hunter, hunting in a lonely mountain. But my heart is a lonely hunter, hunting in a lonely mountain.

There are similar usages in English, and reading English articles is also very helpful to understand the true meaning behind euphemisms. Let's look at a few examples: senior citizens, old people (no old people), death (no death), you have a prime number. Your body is full. Pun is a word game, which uses different meanings of the same word or similar meanings or sounds of different words.
