英语易混修辞格 Metonymy 转喻 Metonymy: A figure of speech that consists in using the name of one thing for that of something else with which it is associated; A figure of speech which consists in substituting for the name of a thing the name of an attribute of it or of something closely related. Metonymy是用甲事物的名称代替乙事物的名称，而甲、乙两事物在某一方面有着密切的联系，但没有相似之点。当提到甲事物时就自然联想到乙事物。换言之，它是用与甲事物密切相关的乙事物来代替甲事物。转喻使用恰当能产生幽默、含蓄、讽刺等修辞作用。转喻是英语常用的修辞格，仅次于明喻与隐喻。 1）以容器代其内容或以容器代其容器 The kettle (= The water in the kettle) is boiling over.壶开了。（壶中的水开了。） The hearth /stove (= The fire in the hearth/stove) is burning brightly.炉燃得正旺。（炉火燃得正旺。） He set the room (= the people in the room) roaring with laughter.他使全屋子爆发出笑声。（他使全屋的人笑起来。） He keeps a good table.
