A metaphor is a poetic device that deals with comparison. It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simple metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich image, a metaphor can communicate so much about a particular image that poets use them more than any other type of figurative (比喻的) language. The reason for this is that poets compose their poetry to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to be may or may not be our perception of love. Therefore, the poet’s job is to enable us to experience it, to feel it the same way that the poet does.
Let’s analyze this remarkably unsophisticated metaphor concerning love and the rose to see what it offers. Because the poet uses a comparison with a rose, first we must examine the characteristics of that flower. A rose is spectacular in its beauty, its petals (花瓣) are nicely soft, and its smell is pleasing. It’s possible to say that a rose is actually a feast to the senses of sight, touch, and smell. The rose’s appearance seems to border on perfection, each petal seemingly symmetrical (匀称的) in form Isn’t this the way one’s love should be? A loved one should be a delight to one’s senses and seem perfect. However, there is another dimension added to the comparison by using a rose. Roses have thorns. The poet wants to convey the idea that roses can be tricky. So can love, the metaphor tells us. When one reaches out with absolute trust to touch the object of his or her affection, ouch, a thorn can cause great harm! "Be careful", the metaphor warns: Love is a feast to the senses, but it can overwhelm us, and it can also hurt us and cause acute suffering. This is the poet’s perception of love — an admonition (劝诫). What is the point? Just this: It took almost 14 sentences to clarify what a simple metaphor communicates in only four words! That is the artistry and the joy of the simple metaphor. [br] According to the passage, what is a metaphor?
选项
A、A description of two similar objects in a poetic way.
B、A contrast between two different things to create a vivid image.
C、A comparison between two different objects with similar features.
D、A literary device specially employed in poetry writing.
答案
C
解析
首段前两句提到,隐喻是用来处理对比的一个诗意的工具。它比较两个不同物体的相似性质,[C](具有相似特征的两个不同物体之间的对比)是对这两句话的概括总结,故答案为[C],同时排除[A]和[B]。[D]是针对A metaphor is a poetic device以及poets use them more than any other type of figurative language设的干扰项,根据常识也可知,隐喻并不是专门用于诗歌写作的,故排除[D]。
