oxymoron：矛盾形容法，逆喻，是指将语义截然相反对立的词语放在一起使用,来揭示某一项事物矛盾性质的一种修辞手法。换言之,它使用两种不相协调,甚至截然相反的词语来形容一项事物,以增强语言感染力。

transferred epithet :移位修饰。这是英语语言学分支修辞学的一种重要的修辞手法。它将描写甲事物性状的词语移来描写乙事物的性状。

malapropism：词语误用。用荒唐的词语来形容事物或人。

parody：嘲仿，用嘲笑的眼光来看待对方的模仿。

pun：双关语，利用词的多义和同音的条件,有意使语句具有双重意义，言在此而意在彼的修辞方式。

climax：渐进

anticlimax：渐降法

paregmenon：并列

paradox：悖论

allusion：隐喻

antithesis：对照

irony：反语

Answer 2

1.D 滑稽的比喻
2.C 反衬
3.C 似是而非的隽语
4.B 对偶

Answer 3

那个第四题貌似选B，antithesis是平行对照（对偶） ，contrast才是对照
