Rhetorical question 修辭疑問(反問)

它與疑問句的不同在于它并不以得到答復(fù)為目的,而是以疑問為手段,取得修辭上的效果,其特點是:肯定問句表示強烈否定,而否定問句表示強烈的肯定.它的答案往往是不言而喻的.

例如:

1>.How was it possible target=_blank class=infotextkey>possible to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worth of note?

2>.Shall we allow those untruths to go unanswered?

Antithesis 對照,對比,對偶

這種修辭指將意義完全相反的語句排在一起對比的一種修辭方法.

例如:

1>.Not that I loved Caeser less but that I loved Romemore.

2>.You are staying; I am going.

3>.Give me liberty, or give me death.
