simile

明喻；直喻英释中释nan expression that describes something by comparing it with something else, using the words ‘as’ or ‘like’, for example ‘as white as snow’

1 In Book One alone there are four primary instances of what we can think of as this primary simile dynamic..仅第一本里就有四个主要的例证,我们可以看作最初的明喻来源的动力。

2 Lister said people should follow the 1946 advice of writer George Orwell: "Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print..李斯特说人们最好遵循作家乔治·奥威尔1946年提出的建议：“不要使用那些在各种出版物上频繁出现的暗喻、明喻或其他修辞格。”

3 The simile is a common device and a useful one, but similes coming in rapid fire, one right on top of another, are more distracting than illuminating..明喻是常用的修辞术，也很好用，但是像连珠炮式的比喻与其说是富有启发性，不如说是在转移注意力。
