排比parallelism、重復(fù)repetition三個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)及長(zhǎng)度類似、語(yǔ)氣一致、意義相關(guān)的句子構(gòu)成了排比句，突出了節(jié)奏感，排比的強(qiáng)烈語(yǔ)勢(shì)有效地表達(dá)出個(gè)人微損行為造成的巨大危害。millionsof的重復(fù)使用，再次強(qiáng)調(diào)了日常生活中浪費(fèi)及環(huán)境破壞現(xiàn)象的嚴(yán)重性。2.Therootsandshootsareyou,yourfriendsandyoungpeopleallaroundtheworld.

暗喻metaphor、押韻rhyme暗喻又叫“隱喻”，直接指出本體就是喻體，說(shuō)明兩者具有極其相似的特征。作者把you,yourfriendsandyoungpeople比喻成根與芽，表達(dá)每個(gè)人都有著根與芽那樣的力量，只要行動(dòng)起來(lái)，將每個(gè)人的力量聚集在一起，就能夠形成巨大的力量去改變世界。押韻rhyme，是詞之間或詞結(jié)尾之間的音的呼應(yīng)，尤用于詩(shī)歌中。rootsandshoots采用押韻的手法，讀起來(lái)朗朗上口，便于傳播。3.Doyouthinkyouhelptomaketheworldabetterplacewhenyoumakeasadpersonsmile,whenyoumakeadogwagitstail,andwhenyouwaterathirstyplant?

反問(wèn)rhetoricalquestion、排比parallelism、舉例examples反問(wèn)是用疑問(wèn)的形式表達(dá)確定的意思，只問(wèn)不答，答案暗含句中。容易激發(fā)讀者情感，極具說(shuō)服力。通過(guò)反問(wèn)手法發(fā)人深思，讓人們意識(shí)到即便是微小舉動(dòng)也能改變世界。連續(xù)列舉了生活中的三個(gè)善舉makeasadpersonsmile，makeadogwagitstail，waterathirstyplant，由when引導(dǎo)構(gòu)成時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句的排比，通過(guò)實(shí)例讓意識(shí)到每個(gè)
