例如:
1>.How was it possible to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worth of note?

1>.No light, but rather darkness visible。没有光亮,黑暗却清晰可见

18.Climax 渐进法,层进法

1>.I am sorry, I am so sorry, I am so extremely sorry.
2>.Eye had not seen nor ear heard, and nothing had touched his heart of stone.
19.Anticlimax 渐降法
与climax相反的一种修辞法,将一系列词语由大到小,由强到弱地排列。
