新SAT考试写作修辞的运用技巧

100留学小编今天给大家介绍新SAT写作修辞手法。在我们的国内考试，大家也都知道，适当的修辞是写作提高分数的必备手法，在SAT考试写作中也是一样。考生会拿到一篇文章进行阅读。其次在理解的基础上，考生要求对文章的论证进行分析，并写成一篇600-650字的文章。下面大家一起来看一下新SAT的修辞手法。

修辞 Personification 拟人：personification是赋予某一事物或概念以人的特征。如，理想很丰满，现实很骨感。

功能：Personification的修辞使表达更加生动，帮助读者更好的理解作者的意图。除此之外，Personification还能够帮助作者表达更深层次的含义。

举例：Until one morning in mid-November of 1959, few Americans—in fact, few Kansans—had ever heard of Holcomb. Like the waters of the river, like the motorists on the highway, and like the yellow trains streaking down the Santa Fe tracks, drama in the shape of exceptional happenings, had never stopped there.

分析：The author uses personification at the end of the passage, stating that “drama . . . had never stopped there.” The position of these words, just after he discusses the positive aspects of the school and its students’ families, results in yet another contrast, another mysterious solemnity.

修辞 personal anecdote 个人轶事：Personal anecdote即在文章中通过讲述作者的个人故事，引导读者更清晰的理解作者要表达的意图。

举例：At my family’s cabin on a Minnesota lake, I knew woods so dark that my hands disappeared before my eyes. I knew night skies in which meteors left smoky trails across sugary spreads of stars. But now, when 8 of 10 children born in the United States will never know a sky dark enough for the Milky Way, I worry we are rapidly losing night’s natural darkness before realizing its worth. This winter solstice, as we cheer the days’ gradual movement back toward light, let us also remember the irreplaceable value of darkness.

分析：Bogard starts his article off by recounting a personal story – a summer spent on a Minnesota lake where there was “woods so dark that [his] hands disappeared before [his] eyes.” In telling this brief anecdote, Bogard challenges the audience to remember a time where they could fully amass themselves in natural darkness void of artificial light. By drawing in his readers with a personal encounter about night darkness, the author means to establish the potential for beauty, glamour, and awe-inspiring mystery that genuine darkness can possess.
