(一)赏用词之妙
1.Superficially, these two men, whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1,500 years, were polar opposites.

2.Both men were happy to withdraw from contemporary life, seeking a harmonious relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives.

赏析:本句引用了俗语“不为五斗米折腰”。引用是指在写作中引用现成的话,如诗句、格言、成语、俗语等,以表达自己思想感情的修辞手法。运用引用的修辞手法,可使语言更加生动形象,文章更加通俗易懂,提高读者的阅读兴趣。
2.Beyond the dark and distance lies a village, The smoke above reluctant to depart.
赏析:本句使用了拟人的修辞手法,通过reluctant to depart将村庄上空的炊烟拟作人,生动形象地描述了炊烟袅袅升起到村庄上方的情景。
