METAPHOR AND HYPERBOLE IN CONTRAST
原始摘要(英文原文)· Original abstract
Although metaphor and hyperbole are both figures of speech, they are different in essence and effect.Metaphor, a language tool, clarifies, creates clarity and connection by comparing abstract concepts to tangible objects or experiences.In contrast, hyperbole exaggerates reality by using exaggeration for emphasis or comedic effect.While metaphor gives language elegance and depth, hyperbole infuses humor and intensity.Metaphor indicates reflection by drawing parallels between different ideas, while hyperbole exaggerates emotions or situations.Despite their differences, both enrich communication, each with its own charm and purpose, offering opportunities for creativity and interpretation.Thus, although metaphor and hyperbole are different, they are united in their ability to enrich discourse and evoke vivid images in the minds of the audience.
