在一定的语境中,故意地把本来表示甲事物的词语用来表示乙事物,以避开自己不愿意直说,或当时语境中不允许直说的东西,这种曲折含蓄的修辞方法谓之婉曲。例如马克思逝世时,恩格斯发表了一篇讲话,开头是这样的:“三月十四日下午两点三刻,当代是伟大的思想家停止思想了。让他一个人留在房里还不到两分钟,等我们再进去的时候,便发现他在安乐椅上安静地睡着了——但已经是永远地睡着了”。(《在马克思墓前的讲话》) In a certain context, deliberately using the words that originally represented a thing to represent something, to avoid things that they wouldn’t want to say straight, or something that is not allowed to speak in the context at that time, this kind of twisted and subtle rhetoric That is the distortion. For example, when Marx died, Engels delivered a speech beginning with the following: “At 2:30 pm on March 14th, the contemporary thinker who was a great thinker stopped thinking. Let him stay alone in the room for less than two. Minutes later, when we went in, we found him sleeping quietly in an easy chair - but it was already asleep forever. (“Speech at the Tomb of Marx”)
