pettiness andimmaturity that has poisoned our politics for so ，避免重新回到令美國政治長期深受毒害的黨派紛爭和由此引發(fā)的遺憾和不成 熟表現。s remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of theRepublican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of selfreliance andindividual liberty and national are values that we all ，是這個州的一名男子第一次將共和黨的旗幟扛進了白宮，(共和黨是建立在自強自立、個人自由以及全民團結的價值觀上，這也是我們所有人都珍視的價值。As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of ，我們不是敵人，而是朋友。And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, tothose who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories

ring”等重復手法；美國副總統(tǒng)戈 爾演講中的頭韻：“We should not demean our democracy with the politics of distraction，denial，and despair.”（我們不 可用消解、拒絕和絕望的托辭貶屈我們的民主）；美國民 權運動的領導人耶西這些使用修辭的經典詞句給人們留下了難以磨滅 的印記，被很多人熟記并稍加修改后運用到自己的寫作 中去。法弗 洛，當然奧巴馬也會參與意見）在某些文體方面已不再固守傳統(tǒng)，如開始使用“It’s”，“that’s”，“She’s”等縮略形式，不再使用諸如“my fellow citizens”，“my friends”等約定俗 成的呼語，但是在修辭方面卻絲毫沒有懈怠，使用了很多 為其演講增色的修辭手法，下面筆者逐一加以探討。排比即將三個或三個 以上結構一致或相似的詞、詞組或句子并置在一起。在奧 巴馬的演講中不乏成功的排比句。她是我過去十六年中最好的朋友，我家庭的基石，我一生的至愛，她就是我們國家的下一位第一夫人，米歇爾排比的運用使奧巴馬的演講語言更豐富，結構更緊湊，說理更有力度。該手法通過將對比明顯的兩個事物或事件并置而達到強調差異的目的，對比的兩方在意思上是相反的，但在形式是相似的。對于那些追求和平與安全的人，我們支持你們。（repetition）在漢語的修辭手法里是不單列出來的。只不過修辭里指的重復更狹窄或更具體一些，一般分為兩種：同義詞重復和句子結構重復。這是我們的時代）；還有“every decision or policy I make as President”（我作為總統(tǒng)所做的每一個決定和決策）。結構的重復與排比很相似，學生容易混淆。（alliteration），即相鄰或不相鄰的一組詞開頭字母的重復，也是演講常用修辭之一。又如“to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids；to restore prosperity and promote the causeof peace”（使我們的人民重新回到工作崗位，為我們的兒童提供更多的機會，恢復我們國家的繁榮昌盛，穩(wěn)步推進和平事業(yè)）。（metaphor）雖不是演講最常用修辭之一，但也經常出現在演講中，尤其是在馬丁金的《我有一個 夢想》 中更是俯拾皆是。奧巴馬演講中的暗喻 例句 有 “The road ahead will be climb will be steep.”（前方的路依舊很長。）；還有“the rock of our family”（我家庭的基石）用來指 自己的妻子在家庭生活中的重要作用。 quotation）也是演講常用修辭手法。第一種是間接引用，即用典（allusion），指的是提及神話中或歷史上著名的人或事件而使聽眾產 生聯想。尼克松如 “When the bombs fell on our ha
