(比喻)

明喻

a word or phrase that compares two things or people, highlighting the similarities, often introduced by 'like' or 'as'

What is a "simile"?

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using the words "like" or "as" to highlight a similarity between them. For example, saying "Her smile was like sunshine" compares the warmth and brightness of her smile to the sun, making the description more vivid and expressive. Similes are used to create clearer or more imaginative descriptions by drawing parallels between familiar concepts and the subject being described.
