(Para. 2-21) 佳句欣赏 本句采用了明喻的修辞手法，非常形象地说明了乌龟饥饿的程度。like是介词，表示“像……一样”，是这个比喻句的比喻词，his body 是本体，a dry stick是喻体。明喻（simile）是就两个不同类对象之间的相似点进行比喻。明喻中常用like做比喻词，此外还有as, as if, as though, as…as, similar to, 等等。 译 文 His body rattled like a dry stick in his empty shell. (Line 12) 她的幸福像晨露一样消失了。 美者犹如夏日蔬果，易腐难存。 Her happiness vanished like the morning dew. Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy to corrupt and cannot last. Example 雨倾盆而下，犹如天上的水闸打开了，而且电光闪闪，极其可怕。 It rained as if the flood-gates of Heaven were opened, and it lighted awfully. 译 文 His body rattled like a dry stick in his empty shell. (Line 12) 他的身体就像一段枯柴棍在空荡荡的躯壳里咔咔作响。 佳句欣赏 slowly but surely: carefully in order to avoid problems 稳扎稳打地 surely: in a sure way 稳当地，踏实地，有把握 副词连用作方式状语，使句意鲜明、思想突出。此处说明乌龟富于心计。这类短语常位于句首，也可放在句末。 译 文 Slowly but surely he began to plan how he would go to the sky. (Line 12) 那艘巨轮缓慢而平稳地下水了。 这位小提琴手把难度大的乐段演奏得很有技巧，也很有把握。 Slowly but surely the great ship glided into the water. The violinist played the difficult passage skillfully and surely. Example 译 文 于是他稳扎稳打地开始计划如何能到天上去。
