Features: This story not only explains what metaphor is but also reminds us:
1. Metaphors should be appropriate. Well-chosen metaphors can add brilliance to your writing or speech and create a strong artistic effect. Otherwise, they may backfire and only leave people with a laugh.
2. Metaphors should pay attention to emotional connotation. Metaphors reflect human emotions, so the things used for comparison must have clear emotional connotations. You cannot use things people dislike to metaphorically describe beautiful things, and vice versa.
