赋予非人类事物以人的特征或情感。
示例:

四、夸张(Hyperbole)
通过故意放大或缩小事物特征,增强表达效果。

七、通感(Synesthesia)
将不同感官体验结合,产生新奇感受。

2. "He was poor in wealth but rich in character"(他物质贫乏但品格富有)
以上修辞手法在莎士比亚戏剧、狄更斯小说、简·奥斯汀作品中均有广泛运用。例如:
莎士比亚在《哈姆雷特》中通过"生存还是毁灭,这是个问题"(生存还是毁灭,这是个问题)的排比句式展现犹豫;
狄更斯在《双城记》里用"it was the best of times, it was the worst of times"(这是最好的时代,也是最坏的时代)的对比句式反映社会矛盾。
