　　Repetition（重复）

　　Repetition（重复）最基本的用法是连续或间隔的使用同一单词，短语或者句子。The Cassel Dictionary of Literary and Language （ C. Ruse &M.Hopton）对repetition的定义是：the use of the same word，phrase，speech sound etc. in a poem， speech etc.其意思也是说，在诗歌，话语的使用同样的词，短语，语言。Webster’s Ddictionary of English Language 对repetition 的解释更明确些：In rhetoric， the iteration or repeating of the same words， or of the meaning in different words， for the purpose of making a deeper impression on the audience，

　　Eg： Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow！

　　Farewell to the straths and green valleys below！

　　Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods！

　　Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods！

　　（2009年5月sec7）

　　In this passage ，an African American novelists recalls his reading experience as a teenager in California after having spent his first fifteen years in Louisiana.

　　……

　　I wanted to smell that Louisiana earth， feel that Louisiana sun， sit under the shade of one of those Louisiana oaks next to one of Louisiana bayous. I want to see on paper those black parents going to work before the sun came up and coming back home to take care of their children after the sun went down. I want to read about the true relationship between whites and blacks—about the people that I had known.

　　Which of the following rhetorical devices does the author use in the final paragraph of the passage？

　　A personification

　　B understatement

　　C irony

　　D simile

　　E repetition

　　定位行数中不断重复的“Louisiana”。由此我们可以选择E选项。但是有学生疑惑问及，该定位也有Parallelism的修辞用法，因为定位句子的“I want to…”引导的句子。其实确实如此，重复和排比的修辞手法经常是在英文中一起使用。比如在二战中，丘吉尔有名的演讲中的句子就是排比辞格和重复辞格的交织使用：We shall fight him by land， we shall fight him by sea， we shall fight him in the air. 那么遇到这样的情况该如何处理呢。其实试图上对推辞格的考查本着基础的原则，并没有将类似辞格混在一块为考点。所以考生可以放心。一般一段话中有几种明显的辞格，考题方向只会定在一种。所以自然不会在选项中涉及段落中都有的辞格。因为那样的涉及，考题也会变的没有意义。
