Common Speech Examples of Metaphors
Most
of us think of a metaphor as a device used in songs or poems only, and that
it has nothing to do with our everyday life. In fact, all of us in our routine
life speak, write and think in metaphors. We cannot avoid them. Metaphors are
sometimes constructed through our common language. They are called conventional
metaphors. Calling a person a “night owl” or an “early bird” or saying “life is
a journey” are common conventional metaphor examples commonly heard and understood
by most of us. Below are some more conventional metaphors we often hear in our
daily life:
1) My brother was boiling mad.
(This implies he was too angry.)
2) The assignment was a breeze.
(This implies that the assignment was not difficult.)
3) It is going to be clear
skies from now on. (This implies that clear skies are not a threat and
life is going to be without hardships)
4) The skies of his future began
to darken. (Darkness is a threat; therefore, this implies that the
coming times are going to be hard for him.)
5) Her voice is music to his ears.
(This implies that her voice makes him feel happy)
So, metaphor in bahasa is:
Metaphor adalah kata-kata yang digunakan untuk mengkiaskan seseorang atau sesuatu dengan yang lainnya. Hal ini hampir sama dengan Simile. Bedanya adalah pada Metaphor, kita tidak lagi menggunakan kata “like” atau “as”.
Walaupun perbandingan yang dibuat atau dikiaskan tidaklah begitu persis, namun penggunaan Methapor masih saja sering digunakan.
