假若将上列三句中的sour分别以普通词汇取代，整句失却原本鲜亮的活力，读者的心理反应趋弱。如：
1705046829

2.1.5 英语转义的审美价值

1705046840
试读以下两句：
1705046841
1705046842
a. The old lady mothered him during his illness.
1705046843
1705046844
b. DNA testing fathered the baby on him.
1705046845
1705046846
两句中的动词谓语mother与father原系名词，现用作动词。句a中的mothered意即“母亲般地照料”；句b中的fathered的含义更趋丰富，全句的大意是：DNA检查证明他是婴儿的生父。以上两句因为使用了mother与father的转义，表达趋简，形象趋丰，句子趋美。
1705046847
1705046848
换一种说法，那表达将变得“老实规矩”，而风采顿失。如：
1705046849
1705046850
a. The old lady took good care of him like his mother when he was ill.
1705046851
1705046852
b. After DNA testing, they decided that he was the father of the baby.

如上所述，Connotation本身就是一种修辞。上面我们已经提到，转义包括比喻义和联想义。所谓比喻义，即暗示了其修辞功能。然而，转义修辞功能除比喻功能外，它还具有拟人、夸张等等修辞功能。如下列句中的黑体字：
1705046855
1705046856
