syntactical similarities introduced for rhetorical effect“(Webster39。s New Collegiate Dictionary,1977；831)．英語(yǔ)排比具有結(jié)構(gòu)整齊，節(jié)奏鮮明，語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)練等特點(diǎn)．在英語(yǔ)演講中運(yùn)用排比旬，可以增加演講詞的節(jié)奏感和音韻美，突出演講者雄辯口才和強(qiáng)烈感情，增強(qiáng)演講語(yǔ)言的氣勢(shì)，提高演講的說(shuō)服力和欣賞性．二，奧巴馬獲勝演講個(gè)案排比分析奧巴馬于2008年11月4日當(dāng)選為美國(guó)總統(tǒng)。并于當(dāng)晚發(fā)表了獲勝演講．這次演講富有很強(qiáng)的號(hào)召力和感染力，喚起了民眾戰(zhàn)勝金融危機(jī)的信心和勇氣?，F(xiàn)場(chǎng)的無(wú)數(shù)觀眾被感動(dòng)得熱淚盈眶．奧巴馬在他的獲勝演講中熟練地運(yùn)用了一系列的修辭方法，如捧比，對(duì)比，反復(fù)，對(duì)仗，引用等，其中排比的使用次數(shù)最多．下面我們就以排比結(jié)構(gòu)在奧巴馬獲勝演講(Barak Obama’s Victory Speech)中的置,選取了四個(gè)代表性的例子，來(lái)討論其修辭效果。（一）從句開頭的排比If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible，who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time，who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your 。奧巴，美國(guó)民主制度的力量”的質(zhì)疑．通過(guò)這三個(gè)排比旬，奧巴馬言簡(jiǎn)意賅地表達(dá)了他獲勝的意義：顯示出“美國(guó)夢(mèng)”的獨(dú)特性和普遍價(jià)值，顯示出他的能馬用自己勝選的事實(shí)回答了某些人對(duì)“美國(guó)是否凡事都有可能，美國(guó)奠基者的夢(mèng)想是否依然鮮活力，肯定了美國(guó)是一切皆有可能的地方，肯定他的獲勝是對(duì)美國(guó)政治文化傳統(tǒng)的繼承而不是背離．開場(chǎng)耐人尋味的排比，便已打開了選民們的心聲以及繼續(xù)聽下去的欲望。（二）排比結(jié)構(gòu)用在段首 It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen；By people who waited three hours and four hour...It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican，black，white, Hispanic，Asian，Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled...It’s the answer that led those who have been told...to put their hands Off the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day．首先，在前兩個(gè)位于段首的排比句群中，奧巴馬強(qiáng)調(diào)他是“設(shè)在學(xué)校和教堂的投票站前排起的前所未見的長(zhǎng)隊(duì)”，是“等了三四個(gè)小時(shí)的選民”，是“所有美國(guó)人民”共同選舉出來(lái)的總統(tǒng)。他重申了自己當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)是合法的，是由美國(guó)人民通過(guò)民主方式選舉出來(lái)的．第三個(gè)排比句群在意義上是對(duì)前兩個(gè)排比句群的總結(jié)和升華。奧巴馬呼吁美國(guó)人民要對(duì)美國(guó)的未來(lái)有信心，同時(shí)暗示作為新一任的總統(tǒng)，他會(huì)繼承美國(guó)的歷史傳統(tǒng)，讓“美國(guó)夢(mèng)”延續(xù)。這三個(gè)排比句群的使用，增強(qiáng)了演講的氣勢(shì)，有力地回?fù)袅四切?duì)奧巴馬獲勝原因存在質(zhì)疑的人，同時(shí)向聽眾做出了有力的保證，調(diào)動(dòng)了聽眾的積極性，激發(fā)了聽眾的自信心．（三）介詞短語(yǔ)的排比To those who would tear this world down, we will defeat those who seek peace and security, we support you．And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright, tonight we proved once more that the strength of our nation es...from the enduring power of our ideals :democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope．介詞短語(yǔ)To those的反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，明確了要擊敗和支持的對(duì)象，語(yǔ)氣強(qiáng)烈，一針見血．這既是對(duì)恐怖分子敲警鐘，又給予了愛好和平的人們奮斗的力量。同時(shí)，向那些懷疑美國(guó)能否繼續(xù)照亮世界發(fā)展前景的人們證明。美國(guó)真正的力量來(lái)自于這個(gè)國(guó)家的理想：民主、自由、機(jī)會(huì)和不屈的希望。排比結(jié)構(gòu)的出現(xiàn)突出了強(qiáng)調(diào)的內(nèi)容，語(yǔ)言氣勢(shì)逼人，具有強(qiáng)大的震撼力。（四）句型結(jié)構(gòu)的排比For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new us, they toiled in sweatsho
