摘要

英语谚语具有永恒的魅力，英语谚语内容十分广泛，且具有言少意多、言浅意深、生动形象、幽默风趣、观点鲜明等特点，是美学修辞的典范，是英语语言的瑰宝，是英语民族智慧的结晶。

其中修辞格的广泛运用是其魅力的一个重要原因，比喻又是最常用的修辞手法。

因此在本文中，我详细介绍了英语谚语中比喻修辞的手法并分析。

比喻可分为明喻、暗喻、借喻、讽喻、换喻和提喻。

本文主要就比喻中的明喻、暗喻、提喻修辞进行深入探讨。

本文共分四章。

其中第一章对英语谚语的修辞手法做了简单介绍。

第二章介绍了英语谚语以及修辞的背景。

第三章分别对明喻、暗喻、提喻进行分析，包括他们的定义，结构以及引起的语义效果。

文中列举了大量例子来佐证这几种比喻手法，并进行了详细的分析，并在其中穿插了中文解释，帮助我们更容易理解这些谚语的意义。

最后，总结全文，

这篇文章帮助我们理解了英语谚语中比喻修辞手法的涵义，如果我们能理解这些修辞手法在谚语中引起的效果，那么我们也能更好的理解和应用这些谚语。
