figurative/ˋfIgjərətIv; ˈfIɡjərətIv or ˈfIɡjʊrətIv/ adj a figurative use of a word is one where it does not have its normal or basic meaning. For example, in ‘a mountain of debt’, ‘mountain’ is used in a figurative way and means ‘a large amount’ not ‘a high hill’. 比喻的﹐借喻的〔如在 a mountain of debt 中 mountain 就是比喻用法﹐表示大量的意思﹐而不是指高山〕 —figuratively adv |
