众所周知,恰当的修辞可以使文章更生动形象。我们高中写的大多是记叙文,这就有了比喻、拟人等修辞方法应该发挥作用的地方。有这样一幅图画,上面画的是一块从一个下水渠口飞出的一块西瓜砸中小明(肇事者,是他把西瓜扔进下水渠的。但是下水渠里有修理工,他也把西瓜扔了出来。)多数同学描述为"xiaoming was hit by the piece of water-melon"或"the piece of water-melon hit xiaoming on his head"。若用上比喻拟人修辞,则可描述为"the piece of water-melon,like a flying bullet,whose target was xiaoming's head,jumped out of the cloaca(下水道)and hit exactly on its target."显而易见后者更生动形象。
