Simile and metaphor
那女人讲了一大串话,又快又脆,像钢刀削萝卜片。
江雨霏霏江草齐,六朝如梦鸟空啼。
对于不会说话的人,衣服是一种语言,随身带着的袖珍戏剧。
O my luve’s like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June.

Examples and divide them into two types:
1. simile
No “暗喻”
A…B with signal words of:
Like, not unlike, as, as if, as it were, may pared to, similar to… simile(明喻)
像,如,宛如,似…
A…B with signal words of:
Be (is), or no signal (或没有). metaphor (隐喻)
In a metaphor, 本体与喻体的关系更密切,simile是相类的关系,metaphor却是相合的关系。In a metaphor, often the point of resemblance is not stated. Jim was a fox. The world is a stage (similar in what way? Unclear). more difficult to understand, more challenging, more concise and interesting.
