A figure of speech comparing two essentially unlike things and often Introduced by like or as simile. It is a comparison between two distinctly different things and the comparison is indicated by the word as or like: Oh, my love’s like a red, red rose That man can’t be trusted. He’s as slippery as an eel 鳗鱼. The old man’s hair is as white as snow.
