  黑人反抗白人统治获得解放这无疑是个非常抽象复杂的命题。采用一般的例证法,学生们都不约而同能想马丁.路德.金。且不管例子雷同与否,事实上,很少有人能真正清楚又准确地写出马丁.路德.金的具体事迹来证明这个观点。甚至还有学生会想到曼德拉或奥巴马来证明,实在有失偏颇。

  现在我们再来看上面这段文字。作者很巧妙地找了CD,即 foot(nature)shoe( put on by man)之间的关系。 鞋子小了,脚穿着会疼,如果不及时脱掉或调整,脚上会产生老茧。如果鞋子继续对脚进行禁锢,那么总有一天,脚会把鞋子穿破。这是一个再平常不过的道理,不需要再花时间进行论证,括号里的就是AB和CD间的相似性,轻松论证了这个复杂的命题,这就是类比的魅力。

  下面再给大家一段文字来体会类比的妙用。

  “It is unrealistic to expect individual nations to make, independently, the sacrifices necessary to conserve energy. International leadership and worldwide cooperation are essential if we expect to protect the world’s energy resources for future generations.”

  Another reason why an international effort is required is that other problems of an international nature have also required global cooperation. For example, has each nation independently recognized the folly of nuclear weapons proliferation and voluntarily disarmed? No. Only by way of an international effort, based largely on coercion of strong leaders against detractors, along with an appeal to self-interest, have we made some progress. By the same token, efforts of individual nations to thwart international drug trafficking have proven largely futile, because efforts have not been internationally based. Similarly, the problem of energy conservation transcends national borders in that either all nations must cooperate, or all will ultimately suffer.

  类比,这种说理手段对大家而言其实并不陌生.在中国古文中如《老子》,《庄子》等都很擅长把深刻的道理用显而易见的故事来讲述出来,比如刻舟求剑等。另一方面,在诗歌中也会采用大量类比或比喻的手段来把抽象的意境具体化地表现出来。这里选用几句Tagore (泰戈尔) 飞鸟集中的句子来赏析一下希望能给大家些灵感:

  Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night(她的热切的脸,如夜雨似的,搅扰着我的梦魂。)

  Woman, when you move about in your household service your limbs sing like a hill stream among its pebbles.(妇人,你在料理家务的时候,你的手足歌唱着,正如山间的溪水歌唱着在小石中流过。)

  The touch of the nameless days clings to my heart like mosses round the old tree.(无名的日子的感触,攀缘在我的心上,正象那绿色的苔藓,攀缘在老树的周身。)
