常见的sat写作修辞手法-西泽读留学

　　写作部分同样对于考生来说是个难点，因为写作考察的是考生的综合能力，不仅仅是包括词汇，或者句子，更多的是结构框架，还有一些修辞方法的使用，今天小编整理了常见的sat写作修辞手法。

　　Kinds of Evidences证据

　　Fact (事实)

　　术语解析：对于事实的客观描述。

　　举例：Already the World Health Organization classifies working the night shift as a probable human carcinogen, and the American Medical Association has voiced its unanimous support for “light pollution reduction efforts and glare reduction efforts at both the national and state levels.” Our bodies need darkness to produce the hormone melatonin, which keeps certain cancers from developing, and our bodies need darkness for sleep. (Fact)

　　Example (例子)

　　术语解析：帮助解释一个宏观描述的细节或实例。

　　举例：The rest of the world depends on darkness as well, including nocturnal and crepuscular species of birds, insects, mammals, fish and reptiles. Some examples are well known—the 400 species of birds that migrate at night in North America, the sea turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs—and some are not, such as the bats that save American farmers billions in pest control and the moths that pollinate 80% of the world’s flora. Ecological light pollution is like the bulldozer of the night, wrecking habitat and disrupting ecosystems several billion years in the making. (Example)

　　Statistics (数据)

　　术语解析：用来表现信息的具体数据。

　　举例：In 2001 the National Association of Manufacturers polled (statistic) its members on skill deficiencies among employees. Among hourly workers, poor reading skills ranked second, and 38 percent of employerscomplained that local schools inadequately taught reading comprehension.

　　Quotation (引用)

　　术语解析：在文章中使用的名人说过或写过的话;分为直接引用和间接引用。

　　举例：Dr. Michael Karsten, a Dutch physician who said he had prescriber anabolic steroids to hundreds of world-class athletes, states, “If you are especially gifted, you may win once, but from my experience you can’t continue to win without drugs. The field is just too filled with drug users”.(direct quotation) Dr. Michael Karsten, a Dutch physician who said he had prescribed anabolic steroids to hundreds of world-class athletes, stated that if athletes were especially gifted, they might win once, but from his experience they couldn't continue to win without drugs. He asserted that the field was-just too filled with drug users. (indirect quotation)

　　Style and Tone修辞手法

　　Anecdote (奇闻轶事)

　　术语解析：发生在一个人身上的简短而有趣的经历。

　　举例：I remember spending long hot sunny Summer holidays at the seaside or at the park. As young and adventurous children, we would spend hours climbing trees in the nearby woods or scouring the beaches for seashells. It was glorious.

　　Allusion (典故)

　　术语解析：援引文学作品中的典故、谚语、俗语等来暗示道理。

　　举例：Martin Luther King, Jr., alluded to the Gettysburg Address in starting his "I Have a Dream" speech by saying "Five score years ago..."; his hearers were immediately reminded of Abraham Lincoln's "Four score and seven years ago", which opened the Gettysburg Address. King's allusion effectively called up parallels in two historic moments without overwhelming his speech with details.

　　Simile & Metaphor (明喻和暗喻)

　　术语解析：将本质上不同的两个事物(本体和喻体)放在一起对比，说明道理，明喻中会出现比喻词as/like，暗喻中不会出现比喻词。

　　举例：A situation like the September 11 attacks, when the towers themselves turned into ticking clocks, and people higher up needed every minute of evacuation time they could get before the buildings collapsed on top of them. (Simile)

　　The towers did not literally turn into ticking clocks, but the metaphor conveys the urgency of the situation for the people in the buildings. (Metaphor)

　　举例：The wind sang her mournful song through the falling leaves.

　　Irony (讽刺)

　　举例：Now, he had not even a penny with him and did not have to think about what to eat for lunch, wonderful!(这里的wonderful就是讽刺)

　　Parallel Structure (平行结构)

　　术语解析：一句话或一篇文章中一组词或短语的重复使用，来起到强调的效果。

　　举例：Our eyes allow us to register information not only from across the room but also from across the universe.

　　术语解析：不需要回答的问题。

　　举例：When you get “it,” what did you get?
