Ⅷ.Teaching procedure:

1. Mayor types of the figure of speech

⑴. Simile

It is a comparison between two distinctly different things and the comparison is indicated by the word

as or like. It has three parts: the tenor, indicator of resemblance, and the vehicle.

E.g.； ⑵. Metaphor

It is the use of a word which originally denotes one thing to refer to another with a similar quality. It is

also a comparison, but the comparison is implied, not expressed with the word as or like.

E.g.: The green plant is a kind of food factory.

The next day he had a red face.

⑶. Personification

It is to treat a thing or an idea as if it were human or had human qualities. In poetry it is very common.

E.g.: A soft wind kissed the tree tops.

My only worry was that January would find me hunting for a job again.

⑷. Metonymy

It is a figure of speech that has to do with the substitution of the name of one thing for that of another. E.g.: The mother did her best to take care of the cradle.

Her purse would not allow his luxury.

⑸. Synecdoche

It involves the substitution of part for the whole, or the whole for the part.

⑹. Irony

E.g.: What a fine weather! (In fact it is raining so heavily that you can not go outing as you planned.) ⑺. Transferred Epithet

It is a figure of speech where an epithet (an adjective or descriptive phrase) is transferred from the

noun it should rightly to another to which it does not really apply or belong.

E.g.: The old man put a reassuring hand on may shoulder.

There was a short, thoughtful silence.

⑻. Pun

It is a play on words, or rather a play on the form and meaning of words.

E.g.: Custom: Waiter, will the pancakes be long? Waiter: No, Sir. Round.

Custom: Have you got chicken‘s legs? Waiter: No, Sir. I always walk this way. .

⑼. Euphemism

It is the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest

something unpleasant. (It is the substitution of a mild or vague expression for a harsh or unpleasant one.) E.g.: Then you‘ll see the sign for Old people senior citizens

⑽. Alliteration

It refers to the appearance of the some initial consonant sound in two or more words (often used in poetry).

E.g.: proud as a peacock blind as a bat

⑾. Overstatement/ Exaggeration

E.g.: ⑿. Onomatopoeia

It is the formation or use of words to imitate what they denote.

2. Background Knowledge about ―Party‖

Party 一词在汉语中可译为―聚会‖，然而英语词party绝非仅仅意味着―晚上聚会‖。西方人在中午也有聚会。西方常见的聚会有如下几种：

⑴. 午餐聚会(Launch Parties)

It is not popular at present time, but it Sunday‘s Launch Party still works. The party time is about 1:00 at noon. The staple food is always roasted food.

⑵. 酒会(Drinks parties)

Drinks party is a kind of party from the previous cocktail party. The traditional cocktail party is rather legitimate, so it‘s also a little stiff. But it has turned into a commonly and flexibly social occasion. Sometimes, it will supply snack, no staple. Partygoers can chat with their acquaintance, and also may meet some new friends. Everyone can talk freely of whatever topic. And it will be over two and a half hours.

⑶. 晚晚会(Party parties)

It is a party holding at the weekend, which usually starts at 9 p.m. or later and ends in the midnight. It will supply liquor and staple food. Guests could dance with the music.

3. Explain the article

Title: Party Politics (Politics is a complicated thing which needs a lot of time to study. And also, in a party, no matter the dress or behavior and etc. should be considered.)

Etiquette at an office party? Why, these people have been socializing happily every working day of their lives, give or take a few melees, rumors, and complaint petitions. All it takes to turn this into holiday merriment is a bit of greenery looped around the office --- the staff will soon be looped, too.(PUN) Surely it is enough that the annual Christmas party has the magic ingredients: time off from work, free food and drink, and a spirit of fun replacing such ugly work realities as sexual harassment.

Para 2

Furthermore, partygoers figure, it offers relief from such pesky obligations as thanking anyone or being kind to wallflowers because there really aren’t any hosts. (HUMOR & SARCASM) Nobody has to pay (that same nobody who generously provides the telephone line for long-distance personal calls), and so nobody‘s feelings need be considered.

Para 3

This is all hospitality --- there for the taking, like the office-supplied felt-tipped pens everyone has been pocketing all year. (HUMOR) Out of the natural goodness of its corporate heart and the spirit of the holiday season, the company wishes only to give its employees a roaring good time, and the employees, out of loyalty and the thrill of getting to know their bosses off-duty as equ …… 此处隐藏：34292字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
