问题 The rhetorical device employed in the sentence "They were short of hands at harvest time." is________.

选项 A、personification
B、hyperbole
C、oxymoron
D、synecdoche

答案D

解析 本题考查词义修辞手段。personification“拟人”,指把物体、动物、思想或抽象概念等拟作人,使其具有人的外表、个性或情感的修辞手段;hyperbole“夸张”,指有意识地把事实夸大或故意言过其实,以达到强调或突出的修辞手法;oxymoron“矛盾修辞法”,指把一对语义相反、相对立或互不协调的词语组合在一起的修辞手段;synecdoche“提喻”,指不直接说某一事物的名称,而是以部分代替整体,以整体代替部分,以某种事物代替某类事物,以某类事物代替某种事物,或者以原材料的名称代替由其制成的东西的修辞手段。They were short of hands at harvest time的意思是“他们在收获时缺少人手”,此处用“hands”代替人,使用了提喻的修辞手段。故本题选D。
