Those subtle metaphors in literary works

Look at the imitation sentence on a primary school student's test paper first. The example given is "the rock is like an eagle spreading its wings", and it is required to imitate a sentence "From a linguistic point of view, this is a perfect or even super-perfect answer, while the example sentence is only a static description. Its sentence is a dynamic description, with imagination in it, and more personal experience, which is obviously higher than the requirements. I just don't know how the teacher judges and scores, and I don't know how the mother as a parent feels after seeing it.

Yes, in the eyes of children, mothers are always gentle as water. How can they beat their own sons and become thugs? The only explanation is that mom is crazy.

Based on many years' experience as a Chinese teacher, the author can definitely say that if this sentence is affirmed and praised, then children are likely to take this opportunity to enjoy Chinese classes from now on, and it is unknown that writing will become a means of making a living in the future. And if the teacher just follows the example to judge that the sentence is flawed (because it is still different from the standard answer, there are many robot teachers in primary schools), then the Chinese talent of this primary school student will be completely extinguished.

Miss Bao in Fortress Besieged is a hot, sexy and charming woman, and her usual dress style is bold and exposed. Thus, in Qian Zhongshu's works, she became a "deli" and a "partial truth". The original text reads: "Some people call her a '(charcuterie' because only a deli will publicly display warm meat with many colors; Some people call her' truth' because it is said that' truth is always naked', but Miss Bao is not naked, so she temporarily changed it to' partial truth'. "

Ha, this style of writing, with a faint western flavor, is a typical "money-style" metaphor. Scholars write and scholars read in order to appreciate the wonderful.

The Moon and Sixpence is regarded as the bible of literary youth all over the world. In the book, Mao Mu has a portrait description: "... her arms are like two thick legs of lamb, her breasts are like two cabbages, and her chubby face is full of fat, giving people a naked and unsightly feeling. Under her face is a heavy fleshy chin (I can't tell how much she weighs), and it beeps all the way to her fat chest. "

How disgusting and contemptuous do you think the author should be?

Lu Xun compared Yang Er's sister-in-law to a compass in his essay "Hometown": "I was startled and looked up at once, but I saw a 50-year-old woman standing in front of me with prominent cheekbones and thin lips, her hands in her moustache, no skirt, and her feet spread out, just like a thin-footed compass in a drawing instrument ... However, the compass was very uneven and showed disdain. ?

First of all, the "compass" written by Lu Xun is very different from the compass used by middle school students at present. You and I have never seen Xun Weng's compass, but the cover used by the author in junior high school alone is much uglier and rougher than the same object now, not to mention this instrument more than 0/00 years ago.

Or, besides explaining Yang Er's thin physical appearance, there are other subtleties. My sister-in-law, Yang Er, is a very calculating person. She plays a circle, which is similar to a compass. Also, in those days, the compass was scientifically advanced, but it was conservative and backward. Yang Er's calculating sister-in-law has nothing to do with science, which has an ironic effect.

Liu Santi: "This little girl is like a beautiful stem cell, the bud of all beauty." If translated into popular expression, the little girl is a beauty embryo. The problem is that fashion returns to fashion, but the mysterious and cold style unique to science fiction is gone. By the way, stem cells are cells that originate from embryos, fetuses or adults and have unlimited self-renewal, proliferation and differentiation under certain conditions. They can produce daughter cells with the same phenotype and genotype as themselves, and they can also produce tissues that make up the body. This is what the author tries to reveal: many things are decided in the womb.

He Zuoxiu, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote "Jade Case Ling Bo, Don't Cross Hengtang Road": "How much leisure is there? Yichuan smoke, full of wind, plum yellow rain. " There are three metaphors in a row: you have to ask me how deep and long my sadness is, as boundless as a wisp of grass in misty rain, as worrying and helpless as catkins floating in the wind, and as endless as the rain in Mei Huang Shi. Especially this summer, when the author wrote this article, the southern provinces were still immersed in waist-deep floods.

Li Yu's Yu Meiren: "How many worries can you have?" It's just a spring flowing eastward. "At first glance, there is only one metaphor, but there are actually three: as many as a raging river, as deep as a raging river, day and night, unstoppable.

In addition:

Salinger's Catcher in the Rye: Well, it was December, and it was as cold as a witch's nipple.

Wang Xiaobo's "Searching for the Root": "Emerald is worthy of the name, just like grandma died and was buried underground for half a month before being dug up."

Bai Juyi's Pipa Tour: "The big strings sing like rain, and the small strings whisper like a secret."

Qian Zhongshu's Fortress Besieged: "It's as uncomfortable as a woman who is pregnant and wants to have an abortion."
