求英语中的修辞手法如隐喻、借喻、提喻怎么区分，能举几个例子吗？

隐喻：metaphor

借喻：metonymy

提喻：synecdoche

metaphor uses words to indicate something different from their literal meaning—— one thing is described in terms of another so as to suggest a likeness or analogy between them. 隐喻有几个要点：1. 最新的 2. 相似性(similarity)，这点很重要，本体和喻体要有相似性 3. 一致性

two things in comparison, and this comparison is implied rather than stated.

eg: the theory needs more support.这个support就是一个隐喻，相当于把theory比喻成房子，需要地基支撑、支持，引申到支持观点、理论。

eg: he is the apple of her eye.这个就表示很重要的人，掌上明珠之类的。

借喻、换喻、借代：metonymy is a figure of speech in which the name of one thing is used in place of another that is associated with or suggested by it. 它和暗喻的区别在于，借喻中两者要求不是相似，而是有联系，同一类事物。

eg: will you play me some Chopin? 这个地方，chopin是人名，用其来指代他的作品、音乐。

eg: the kettle is boiling. （kettle 指代water in it.）

eg:tongue——eloquence; brain——knowledge,wisdom or reason; Fleet Street—— the British press

通常说来，借代可以由地点代某个特定的东西、人名代他的作品或与之相关的理论、器具或容器代里面所盛放的物品、人的某些特定器官代它所赋予的意义和作用。

提喻synecdoche is a figure by which a more comprehensive term is used for a less comprehensive or vice versa; as whole for part or part for whole; genus for species or species for genus etc. 最主要的区别方法就是一般提喻和整体、局部或是和种类、特殊，还有抽象、具体有关。

eg：Italy beat Spain in the football match. 这里，意大利和西班牙其实就是用整体来代替部分，即“意大利的球队”和“西班牙的球队”。

eg: he paid the workers $5 per head. 这里，head是指“人头”，部分（头）代替整体（每个人）

eg: i had the muscle and they made money out of it. 这里，muscle是个具体的名词，代替一个抽象名词:strength.

不知我的解释是否清楚了？
