figment
fig(=fict;feign)-ment
n.虛構的事 [ Something invented, made up, or fabricated]
ex. a figment of the imagination.
ex. Yes. You are a figment of the past!
對，你是過去的幻影！
figurative
figure-ative
adj.象徵的 [Based on or making use of figures of speech; metaphorical]
ex. figurative language.
ps.1 literal vs. figurative
literal 想成字義就照字典翻譯就好了 [words in literal expressions denote what
they mean according to common or dictionary usage]
figurative 字義會轉化與意示另一層意思 [words in figurative expressions
connote additional layers of meaning.]
比方說
sun
如果你把它解釋"太陽"就是literal experssion
如果你把它解釋"希望"就是figurative experssion/figurative language
ps. metaphor vs. simile
這兩個字的意思都是比喻的意思，而比喻的意思就是利用AB兩事物的相似性，而拿A事物
來形容B事物
metaphor是隱喻
metaphor 你可以想成A不可能變成B，而拿B來形容A
比方說人不可能變成水，如果你說「水做成的女人」，就用的就是metaphor
simile是明喻
simile 當你在使用metaphor時候，很明確說明A、B的關係，例如使用"like","as"，這時
稱為simile
比方說你說「女人柔的像水一般」，在這句中很明確的指出女人像水的關係，所以是
simile
來看個綜合的例子
Type Figuratively Literally
Metaphor He has a heart of stone. He is totally insensitive.
Simile His voice was as sharp as a knife. His voice was very sharp.
