Features: This book is a monograph that equally emphasizes theory and practice. On one hand, it conducts a comprehensive and in-depth comparison and discussion of Chinese and English rhetorical devices from a theoretical perspective. On the other hand, it selects a large number of examples from famous works both within and outside China, all accompanied by translations. By integrating principles and theories from aesthetics, psychology, literary studies, linguistics, logic, and other fields, it provides a thorough and detailed analysis to substantiate the theories presented. Most of the examples are accompanied by their sources and translators; the few without sources were compiled by the authors based on reliable information; and the few without translators were synthesized and organized by the authors based on references to others' translations. This approach not only helps readers absorb a large volume of diverse and lively Chinese-English language materials while learning and mastering the theory of Chinese and English rhetorical devices, thereby improving their comprehension, expression, and language skills, but also facilitates the retrieval of various references and the study of different translation techniques. This book is suitable for English teachers, graduate students, advanced learners, and undergraduate students. It can also serve as a reference for a broad range of translation professionals and Chinese and English enthusiasts with a certain level of proficiency. Additionally, it holds significant value for Chinese teachers, graduate students, and undergraduate students with a solid foundation in English.
