高中生英文应用文写作和读后续写的修辞手法和范例
高考英语全国多地的写作部分包括应用文写作（15分）和读后续写（25分），共赋分40分，所占分量相当大。作文要拿到高分需要考虑很多因素，其中非常重要的一点是语言功底要深厚，常见句型（定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句、独立主格结构、非谓语动词、with复合结构、强调句、倒装句、虚拟语气、感叹句）的使用要需得心应手，如果能适当使用修辞手法，那就是锦上添花了。
明喻(Simile)，是常用喻词like, as, as...as, as if等词将具有共同特征的两种不同事物连接起来的一种修辞手法。明喻的表达方法是:A像B。如：
The smile on her face shone like a diamond.
With a round head, round eyes and a round body, he looks like a watermelon.
The smile on his face is as vibrant as the sun on a summer day.
The scenery along the journey is just like a breath-taking landscape painting.
I reached out to touch her face, which was as cold as the ice.
Her hair grew greyer and greyer, as if ( it were ) covered with snow and frost.
暗喻 (Metaphor) 用一种事物比喻另一种事物，本体喻体都出现，中间常用喻词 be 动词等连接，有时不用喻词。暗喻的典型形式为：甲是乙，而不用like, as等喻词。如：
Life is an unexplored river full of twists and turns.
He doesn"t have an idea of his own. He just parrots what other people say.
He is the brightest star on the basketball court.
The old man"s face is a map of time.
Personification 与汉语拟人完全相同，就是赋予物以人的语言属性。这种拟人化的修辞手法读起来使人感到形象特别生动,富有情趣。
The wind stood up and gave a shout . 大风凛冽，发出怒吼。
The breeze gently kissed her cheeks. 微风轻柔地亲吻着她的脸庞。
The feathery snowflakes danced in the night air, making a beautiful picture.

Fireflies patrol the grass with small lanterns. 萤火虫提着小灯笼在草丛中巡逻。
Anxiety torn him into pieces. 她焦虑不安，十分崩溃。
A good idea suddenly struck me. 我突然想到一个好主意。
Hyperbole is the deliberate use of overstatement or understatement to achieve emphasis.
夸张是比喻修辞的一种，是以言过其实的说法表达强调的目的，它可以加强语气，增加表达效果。
However, it is murder trying to let him finish English homework so that sometimes anger choked my words and even I am bent out of shape.

校园印象
Everyone will be amazed at the scenery of our school the first time they visit it. There is a breath of spring in the gentle wind, and the wind kissed the tree tops. The high construction is also one kind of artwork, classical, graceful, which looks like a rich paint color painting!
The trees come up to the window like the yearning voice of the dumb earth. Everywhere filling the green, travellers stop down, charmed with the beautiful scene.
