figure of speech是什么意思?

Figure of speech是一种表达方式,而不是字面意思。换句话说,它指的是一种表达方式,其含义与其字面解释不同。因此,它是一种可以在文献等中看到的语法工具。示例: It's raining cats and dogs. = It's raining really hard. (雨下得很大。) 例子: Killing two birds with one stone is such an odd figure of speech. (一块石头,两只鸟是一个古老的比喻。) 例子: I forgot some of the figures of speech in my English literature exam. (我在英语文学考试中忘记了一些隐喻。)
