What are metaphor, metonymy and metonymy? What are some examples?

Metaphor: a rhetorical device for hidden comparison. Metaphor is also called metaphor. Metaphor is metaphor, using one thing as a metaphor for another. Metaphor is a way to transform the unknown into the known and spread it. For example, the metaphor "cars move like beetles" assumes that we don't know how cars move, but we know how beetles rush across the ground. This metaphor transforms the characteristics of beetles into the characteristics of cars.

Metonymy: a metaphor that reflects some connection between two realistic phenomena. This association often appears in people's minds and is fixed, so we can refer to class B phenomena with words referring to class A phenomena.

Metonymy means that when things A and B are not similar, but closely related, we can use this relationship to replace things A with the names of things B. The focus of metonymy is not "similarity"; But in "association". Metonymy is also called metonymy, metonymy or metonymy. I am reading Lu Xun. I am reading Lu Xun's works. (Lu Xun's works, Mr. Lu Xun)

Metaphor and metonymy are two basic ways to spread meaning. He insists that the metaphorical model has the characteristics of poetry. It also has the characteristics of advertising, in which the imagination comes from known cultural myths and the characteristics of myths are transformed into unknown products. The wild west has become a metaphor for a cigarette brand, and the bright sunshine in San Francisco has become a metaphor for a cosmetics brand.

Metonymy, also known as metonymy, is a rhetorical method in which one word or phrase is replaced by another closely related word or phrase. Metaphors that reflect a certain correlation between two real phenomena often appear in people's minds and are fixed, so we can refer to class B phenomena with words that refer to class A phenomena. It can be divided into three types: A. The reason for the result substitution B. The user replaces the user C. The form of substantial substitution: for example, Washington replaces the United States, or the sword replaces the military force, and three "red scarves" (referring to the young pioneers wearing red scarves) are encountered.

Synonymy is not a Chinese word. But it is equivalent to metonymy and reference. Metonymy is a rhetorical device that does not directly name things, but expresses them through various corresponding phenomena presented by things themselves. Metonymy is also called the law of adopting husband and wife. Metonymy is different from metonymy. Metonymy mainly relies on close relationship and association, while metonymy relies on partial similarity.

Metonymy (metonymy, reference) can be roughly summarized into four situations: a. Part and whole alternate; B. substitute things for things; C. the alternation of abstraction and concreteness; Replace the whole class with one person.

For example:

/|||| 0/.There is a sea of people outside. There is a sea of people outside the street. (replacing the whole with parts of the human body, that is, expressing people with faces)

Do you have any copper coins? Do you have money with you? (substituting things for things, that is, copper refers to coins and copper coins)

They live under the same roof. They live together. (Make the parts into a whole, that is, use the roof to represent the house and residence)

He is Newton of this century. He is Newton of this century. (Take the individual as the class and Newton as the scientist)

5. Ye glanced at Ye. Look, your sword is protecting you! (replacing things with things and using steel means sword)

It is reported that China won the volleyball match. It is reported that China won the volleyball match. (China volleyball team is represented by the country name China)

7. Life is a kind of torture for him. Life bored him. (replacing concrete with abstract, that is, wearing refers to the boring thing of a thing to wear)
