英语修辞格中的antimetabole( )一词在中文中似乎还未有对应的译文,原因是它与交错配列法(chiasmus)极其相似,人们几乎完全可以把它归类于交错配列法,孰不知这二者之间还是有一定的区别。交错配列法一般是指句中平行结构的前后倒置,主要是形式上的相似,可表示为“从A-B至B’-A’”而 The word antimetabole( ) in English rhetoric does not seem to have a corresponding translation in Chinese, because it is very similar to the chiasmus and one can almost categorize it in a staggered arrangement. There is still a certain difference between the two. The staggered arrangement method generally refers to the inversion before and after the parallel structure of the sentence, which is mainly a formal similarity and can be expressed as “from A-B to B’-A’”.
