Psychosomatic:

Somatic [səʊ’mætɪk]:身体、肉体的。

The term “psychosomatic” refers to physical symptoms or illnesses that are thought to be caused or aggravated by psychological or emotional factors, such as stress, anxiety, or depression. The word is composed of two parts: “psycho,” which refers to the mind or mental processes, and “somatic,” which refers to the body or physical processes. For example, someone who is under a great deal of stress may develop headaches, digestive problems, or other physical symptoms as a result. While these symptoms are real and can be debilitating  [dɪ’bɪlɪteɪtɪŋ]  (使身心衰弱且运转失常的), they may not have a clear physical cause, and treating the underlying psychological factors may be necessary to alleviate the symptoms. It is important to note that psychosomatic symptoms are not “all in the person’s head,” but rather reflect the complex interplay between psychological and physiological processes in the body.

 

“Debilitating” refers to something that causes severe impairment, weakness, or incapacity, often resulting in a significant reduction of physical or mental abilities. It describes a condition, disease, or situation that greatly hinders or restricts a person’s functioning or quality of life.中文翻译:虚弱的,削弱力量或效果的。指一种状况,影响了一个人的力量或正常功能。

the hail of gunfire:

关于“of”在修辞格里的各类使用:

1、用Of结构表示比喻关系。

 

这是一种言简意赅的修饰性隐喻。介绍“of”作为桥梁把本体和喻体联系起来,of前面的名词是喻体(vehicle),后面的名词是本体(tenor)。喻体对本体起修辞作用。

E.G.1:an oyster of a man. 沉默寡言的人。
E.G.2:a skeleton of a woman. 骨瘦如柴的女人。

E.G.3:a pall of darkness 幕布笼罩般的黑暗

E.G.4:a storm of applause 雷鸣般的掌声

 

Her smile was a beam of sunshine in a cloudy day. 她的微笑就像是阴天里的一束阳光。

His words were a sword of truth cutting through the lies. 他的话像是一把切割谎言的真理之剑。

Her voice was a river of emotion, carrying everyone along with her story. 她的声音像是一条情感之河,把每个人都带入她的故事中。

 

2、用Of结构表示移就作用。

用of结构表示移就:本体所表示的事物有着明显的喻体所具有的特征。这种表达方式可使文句更简洁生动,使语句更具表现力;给人充分的想象空间,有着无穷的诗意。值得注意的是:这些用作比喻的词均为大自然现象。如:

E.G.1:a rain of kisses  吻个不停

E.G.2:a torrent [‘tɒrənt(激流;山洪)] of eloquence. 滔滔不绝的谈话

E.G.3:a cloud of grief 一片愁云

E.G.4:a gust of affection 一片爱怜

E.G.1:A ripple of laughter went through the audience.一阵轻轻的笑声在观众中散开。

E.G.2:The article set off a whirlwind [‘wɜːlwɪnd(旋风)] of speculation. 这篇文章一下子引起了大量的推测。

ChatGPT has went viral and set off a whirlwind of speculation. ChatGPT已经很快得到传播,引发了大量的投机行为。

E.G.3:We received an avalanche [‘ævəlɑːnʃ(雪崩;大量)] of inquiries. 人们纷纷来电来函查询,我们实在就接不暇。

3、用Of结构表示夸张效果。

用of结构表示夸张,可以获得一种意想不到的语言效果,情感流露更显强烈,语言更加生动形象,有时还能起到幽默诙谐的效果。如:

E.G.1:a mountain of a man  一个身材魁梧的人

E.G.2:a mere dot of a child. 一个小不点

E.G.3:this jail of house 像监狱似的房子

E.G.4:a library of knowledge
a fount of wisdom

 

E.G.1:I am a vital woman with passion and a library of knowledge when it comes to this industry. (DH S05E17 25:40)

参考翻译:我是一个有激情和对这个行业(了如指掌的、学富五车的、无所不知的)的重要女性。

E.G.2:All through November it rained and rained till the roads became a sea of mud.
参考翻译:整个11月份阴雨连绵,道路成了一片泥海。

E.G.3:A wave of immigrants is washing over Western Europe.
参考翻译:一大波移民潮正席卷西欧。

E.G.3:The planes left mountains of flame and smoke behind them. They crippled our Pacific fleet, sank five of biggest warships, and killed more than 3,000 American soldiers and sailors. (Richard Tregaskis)
参考翻译:轰炸过后,海面上一片火海,浓烟腾空而起。飞机炸瘫了我们太平洋舰队,炸沉了其中5艘大战舰,炸死了3000多名美国士兵和水手。(1941年12月7日,日本偷袭了美国太平洋舰队最大的基地珍珠港,导致太平洋战争爆发。)

4、用Of结构表示褒贬含义:

 

用of结构表示比喻,常常带有浓郁的褒贬色彩,充分表达了说话人对某人或某事的鲜明态度和爱憎情感。如:

 

1、an angel of a woman  天使般的女人

2、a woman of gold 金玉女子

3、a man of vision 有远见的男人

4、a phantom of king. 有名无实的国王

5、a man of straw 生性懦弱的人、草包

6、a tyrant of a father 暴君一样的父亲

E.G.1:Where’s your scamp of a husband? 那你流氓丈夫在哪里?

E.G.2:She is a fine figure of a woman. 她是个风姿绰约的女人。
E.G.3:My father was a man of integrity. 我的父亲曾是个正直的人。
