六、头韵与拟声(the alliteration and onomatopoeia)
1.头韵。头韵即连续数个单词的头音或头字母相同,这种现象在英语中常见。例如:
(1)He is all fire and fight. 他从不放弃任何机会。
(2)There was something simple, sincere in that voice. 那声音里有种纯朴真诚的东西。
2.拟声。拟声是词模拟人、其它有生命或无生命物的声音。英语拟声词兼有双重功能,即融拟声与表示动作为一体。例如:
(1)He flopped down the bag and ran to help us. 他噗地一声放下袋子,赶来帮助我们。
(2)The door banged shut. 门砰地一声关上了。
头韵与拟声修辞方式能使语言具有音韵美,可增加口头或书面表达的实际音感,给人以声情并茂的美感。
修辞所追求的效果是语言表达得完美。修辞格是达到此境界的重要方式之一。要正确、恰当地运用修辞格,涉及的问题很多。其中一个十分重要的问题是切勿忘记,语言的完美必然建筑在语言的正确、准确使用的基础上,因此修辞格的运用不仅必须以合乎语法规则为前提,还要以合乎逻辑──正确思维方法为前提。
