修辞，即调整、修饰文字词句，是写作、说话的一门艺术，对写作者的语言掌握有较高的要求。
以前有个童话，国王问公主： "我在你心目中像什么?"公主回答： "敬爱的父王，您在我心目中就像盐一样。"国王勃然大怒，把公主赶出了他的国家。故事的经过我忘记了，总之最后，公主用一顿不加盐的菜肴终于使国王懂得，看似微不足道的盐，在我们的生活中扮演的却是多么重要的角色。
修辞就像盐：用得好，会使文章有滋有味;一旦缺乏，语言就会平淡乏味，缺少美感。调味恰当，青菜豆腐都是天下美味咯!
上次介绍了几种常见的修辞手段，还有如下几种：
F. 排比(Parallelism)
-- ...the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.(Martin Luther King)
G. 倒装(Anastrophe)
-- Worse perhaps was the idea of Saturday afternoon cricket; most of my friends would be enjoying leisure at that time.)
H. 反复(Reiteration)
-- And she forgot the stars, the moon, and the sun,
And she forgot the blue above the trees,
And she forgot the dells where waters run,
And she forgot the chilly autumn breeze...(J. Keeds)
I. 反问(Rhetorical Question)
-- What is student life like on "The Farm"?
