参考答案

参考解析
解析:本题考查修辞手法。

C选项,Metonymy借代不直接说出所要说的事物,而使用另一个与之相关的事物名称。(1)以容器代替内容,例如:The room sat silent.(2)以资料、工具代替事物的名称,例如:Lend me your ears, please. (3)以作者代替作品,例如:a complete Shakespeare 莎士比亚全集。(4)以具体事物代替抽象概念,例如:I had the muscle, and they made money out of it. 我有力气,他们就用我的力气赚钱。综上,C选项正确。

A选项,Pun, 双关,不体现,故排除。

B选项,Simile,比喻,不体现,故排除。

D选项,Transferred epithet移就,如a sweet voice一个甜嗓子(表示味觉的形容词转移到了听觉),不体现,故排除。

故正确选项为C。
