隐喻作为重要的艺术手法，仿佛“阿丽安娜线”贯穿于《安娜·卡列尼娜》的八个部分中。杂乱无章隐含着过渡时代的动荡对家庭及社会的巨大冲击；赛马场喻为角斗场，标志着整个贵族社会文明的衰退；生与死、“同心说”暗示着作者对人生价值的道德判断；漩涡则是作者有意制造的安娜悲剧性格的形象隐喻。隐喻是托尔斯泰遵循艺术规律架构作品表达道德理想的“引路石”，但也带来一些负面效应 Metaphor as an important artistic technique, as if the “Anna line” runs through the “Anna Karenina” in eight parts. Chaotic disorder implies the enormous impact of the turbulence of the transitional period on the family and society. The racecourse is called the antinomy, symbolizing the decline of the entire aristocratic social civilization. The concept of “concentricity” implies the author’s moral judgment on the value of life. The whirlpool is the image metaphor of Anna’s tragic personality that the author intends to make. Metaphor is the “guide stone” in which Tolstoy follows the law of art to express his moral ideal, but it also brings about some negative effects
