Difference between Oxymoron and
Paradox(隽语)
Oxymoron 是停留在短语层次上的修辞格， Paradox (隽语) 则属于句子层次上的修辞格。因 此，Oxymoron 被称为“condensed paradox”,即缩小的Paradox; Paradox 则是 “expanded oxymoron”,即扩大的 Oxymoron。 e.g. Paradox: I hate and love.

2. Large houses are still occupied while weavers’ cottages stand empty.
大房子仍然占据着，而纺织工人的小屋却空着。
Soul Sister
Difference between Antithesis and
Contrast（对照） 一般认为Antithesis属于句子结构上的修辞 格，Contrast是词义上的修辞格。两者有相 似之处，即都把意义相反的语言单位并列在 一起加以对照以突出差别；但也有相异之处， 主要在于 Contrast 不像 Antithesis 那样 要求结构匀称、排列整齐。
移就是指一种形容词从它本应该修饰的一 类名词转移到它本不应该修饰的一类名词 上的修辞手法。
Soul Sister
For example:
She is engaged in diahonest calling.
她从事的是不正当的职业
The Grapes of Wrath (John Seinbeck)
For example:
Words: up and down;
joys and sorrows. Phrases: a happy healthy man and a decrepit wreck. Clauses: If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. Sentences: They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Soul Sister
Examples:
1.Antithesis：Ask not what your
country can do for you, and ask what you can do for your country.
不要问国家能为你们做些什么，而要问你 们能为国家做些什么。
2.Contrast: Let both sides explore
1. Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.
不是我不爱凯撒，而是我更爱罗马。
cation makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.
对照是指通过意义完全相反的单词、短语、从句或者句 子来进行对比的修辞手法。它旨在在平衡的结构中安插 相对的词句以起强调作用。 Antithesis有两个特点：一是语义上的对照性，二是结 构上的对称性。因此，该辞格可看作是Parallelism （平行）与Contrast（对照）的结合， Soul Sister 故译作“平行对照”。
矛盾修饰法是把一对语意相反、相对立的词 巧妙地放在一起使用，借以表达复杂的思想 感情或说明某种意味深长的哲理。 Soul Sister
