Understatement:陈述
定义:A figure of speech which contains an understatement of emphasis, and therefore the opposite of hyperbole. Often used in everyday speech and usually with laconic or ironic intentions.
这种修辞格是故意使用有节制的措辞来陈述事实,故意轻描淡写,借低调与弱化语言形式来表示强调。
例子:1.I know he is honest, and I wish I could add he were capable.
我知道他是诚实的,我还希望我能说他是能干的。
此句也是用虚拟语气来体现understatement,I could add he were capable其实是在说“但他不够能干”。
2.The face wasn’t a bad one; it had what they called charm.
面孔不算难看,有一般人所称的妩媚。
此句不是冲淡她的魅力,而是采用低调渲染,意即The face was sweet; her charm conquered everybody. 明似贬抑,实则褒扬.
