从伊拉斯谟的“丰裕”论英文写作中的避复

From Erasmus' “Copia” to Variety in English Writing

针对写作中的单调重复,伊拉斯谟的《论丰裕》早在文艺复兴时期就提供了丰富的避复手段。本文在简述该书所举20种言辞变化法的基础上,重点例释了其中最为活跃的五种:同义法、词形转换法、变称法、等义法和句型转换法,并通过伊氏的经典示例考察了诸种言辞变化法的实际应用。文章最后还探讨了实现丰裕的主要训练方法。

To combat monotony in writing, De Copia by Desiderius Erasmus has provided weaponry ever since the Renaissance time. After a brief introduction of all his twenty methods, this essay concentrates on the most active five： synonymy, enallage, antonomasia, equivalence, and change in sentence form. Erasmus＇ amazing varieties of one sentence have been examined for the application of those skills, and major training patterns to achieve copia have also been explored.
