3. 语气温和,富有亲和力
4. 引用 (allusion^v^ation) 也是演讲常用修辞手法。演讲者常常引经据典, 一方面显示自己的博学, 另一方面让众所周知的人或事来帮自己说话能使听众更好地理解自己的观点。第一种是间接引用, 即用典 (allusion) , 指的是提及神话中或历史上著名的人或事件而使听众产生联想。奥巴马在评论106岁的安·^v^·库珀时的话就有很多用典。如“When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world” (当炸弹落在我们的海港, 当暴行威胁整个世界) 分别指的是“日本偷袭美国珍珠港”和“德国发动二战”;“the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma” (^v^的公共汽车, 伯明翰的水龙头, 塞尔玛的桥) 指的分别是黑人为争取权利的三个事件。“^v^的公共汽车”指1955年, 黑人妇女帕克斯在^v^市的一辆公车上拒绝给一个白人让座, 被捕入狱后触发了长达一年的黑人抵制行动, 最后成功要求该巿所有巴士废除种族隔离。“伯明翰的水龙头”指1963年, 马丁·路德·金在伯明翰城领导一场为黑人争取工作, 并反对禁止黑人在“白人餐馆”就餐的斗争。警察使用了警犬和水龙头对付抗议的群众。而后金发表《我有一个梦想》的著名演说。“塞尔玛的桥”则指1965年, 塞尔马地区的黑人不满政府无理剥夺他们的选举权, 决定游行到州首府^v^, 但在经过埃蒙德佩图斯桥时, 警察向游行队伍施放催泪弹, 又用木棍殴打游行人士, 结果造成百多人浴血的“埃盟德佩图斯桥”惨剧。这三件事都与黑人民权运动有关且是建立在美国开国元勋的理想理念之下的, 所以奥巴马在演讲中重提这些事件, 非常符合他所提出的政治口号;“A man touched down on the moon, awall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.” (一个人踏上了月球, 一座墙在柏林轰然倒塌, 一个世界由我们的科学和想象联结在一起) 则指的是美国人尼尔·阿姆斯特朗成为第一个登上月球的人和德国人推倒阻隔东西德28年多的柏林墙, 重获统一, 这两件事分别指代当今世界两大主题, 即和平与发展, 虽然这里只提到科技发展。这说明了奥巴马作为总统不会只关注本国的发展, 更要关心整个世界的格局。另外一种引用是指不加任何修改地直接借用名人名言到自己的演讲中, 如奥巴马直接引用林肯的“a government of thepeople, by the people and for the people has not perishedfrom this earth.” (民有, 民治, 民享的政府永远不会从地球上消失) 。而源自亚特兰大传教士的那句“We Shall Overcome” (我们将胜利或我们将打破种族障碍) 指的是美国黑人民权运动 (1955-1968) 时一首主要歌曲的名字, 作为第一位美国黑人总统的奥巴马引用起来得心应手而又再合适不过。

There is little scientific dispute that if we do nothing, we will face more drought, more famine, more massdisplacement - all of which will fuel more conflict for decades.

36. 各类演讲中最常用的修辞手法非排比 (parallelism) 莫属, 可以说是必不可少的。排比即将三个或三个以上结构一致或相似的词、词组或句子并置在一起。使用排比会给人以一气呵成之感, 节奏感强, 增强语言气势, 加强表达效果, 可以把论点阐述得更严密, 更透彻。在奥巴马的演讲中不乏成功的排比句。如:“The true strength of our nation comes not from our might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals:democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.” (我们国家的真正力量不是来自我们强有力的武器, 亦非来自我们雄厚的财富, 而是来自我们持久不变的理想:民主、自由、机遇和夙愿) , 这属于单词的排比, 而这在汉语中一般并不归类为排比;再如:“She lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot.” (她活着看到女人们站起来, 说出来, 并获得选举权) ;“There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created;new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.” (我们还要使用新的能量, 创造新的就业机会, 开办新的学校, 勇敢面对威胁, 积极修复盟国关系) 和“I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama.” (我今晚能站在这里, 是和一个人的不懈支持分不开的。她是我过去十六年中最好的朋友, 我家庭的基石, 我一生的至爱, 她就是我们国家的下一位第一夫人, 米歇尔·奥巴马) , 这属于词组的排比;又如:“I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.” (也许我没有获得你们的选票, 但是我听到了你们的声音, 我需要你们的帮助, 我也将是你们的总统) 和“If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible;who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time;who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.” (如果还有人怀疑美国是一个一切皆有可能的国家, 如果还有人怀疑我们国家的缔造者们的梦想如今是否依然存在, 如果还有人怀疑我们国家民主的力量, 那么今晚你们就可以得到答案) , 这属于句子的排比。排比的运用使奥巴马的演讲语言更丰富, 结构更紧凑, 说理更有力度。

47. 对照或对句 (antithesis) 也是演讲中一个比较常见的修辞手法。该手法通过将对比明显的两个事物或事件并置而达到强调差异的目的, 对比的两方在意思上是相反的, 但在形式是相似的。如:“It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, and Native American, gay, stra ight, disabled and not disabled...” (无论是年轻人还是年长者, 富人还是穷人, 民主党人还是共和党人, 黑人还是白人, 拉美人、亚洲人还是美国人, ^v^还是异性恋, 残疾人还是健全人, 他们都在回答这个问题) ;再如:“Our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared.” (我们的故事是不同的, 但我们的命运是相同的) ;又如:“To those who would tear this world down——we will defeat you.To those who seek peace and security——we support you.” (对于那些想要破坏这个世界的人, 我们要打败你们。对于那些追求和平与安全的人, 我们支持你们。) 通过对照的方式可以使自己想突出的观点更凸显。

And while its hard to conceive of a cause more just than the defeat of the Third Reich and the Axis powers, World War II was a conflict in which the total number of civilians who died exceeded the number of soldiers who perished.当然,我们都知道,在人类历史的大部分时间内,这种“正义战争”的概念鲜被理会。人类显然有无穷的能力不断想出新的方式相互残杀,同样也有无穷的能力毫不怜惜那些外貌不同或信仰不同的人。军队之间的战争变成国家间的战争模糊了战斗人员与平民界线的全面战争。这种战争大屠杀曾在 30 年内两度侵吞这块大陆。虽然难以设想还有什么比击败第三帝国(Third Reich)和轴心国(Axis powers)更正义的事业,但在第二次世界大战中死亡的平民总数超过了战死疆场的军人。In the wake of such destruction, and with the advent of the nuclear age, it became clear to victor and vanquished alike that the world needed institutions to prevent another world war. And so, a quarter century after the United States Senate rejected the League of Nations - an idea for which Woodrow Wilson received this prize - America led the world in constructing an architecture to k

24. 重复 (repetition) 在汉语的修辞手法里是不单列出来的。而且上边谈到的排比其实也属于重复的范畴, 而后边即将谈到的头韵, 不会谈到的谐元韵、谐辅韵等语音重复也包括在内。只不过修辞里指的重复更狭窄或更具体一些, 一般分为两种:同义词重复和句子结构重复。同义词重复如:“We rise or fall as one nation;as one people.” (不论我们沉与浮, 我们都是一个国家、一个民族) ;再如“who left their homes and their families” (他们离开了自己的家, 自己的家人) ;又如:“This is our moment.This is our time.” (这是我们的时刻。这是我们的时代) ;还有“every decision or policy I make as President” (我作为总统所做的每一个决定和决策) 。结构的重复如“It’s the answer...”重复了三次, “Yes we can.”重复了七次, 强调了奥巴马作为总统对全国上下的充分信赖以及对光明未来的坚信不移, 而这一句如今也成为了一句脍炙人口的流行语。结构的重复与排比很相似, 学生容易混淆。两者的区别是排比句子都并列在一起, 结构紧凑;而重复的结构一般相隔着其他的句子乃至段落。
