拟人化
拟人
和汉语相似，英语中也存在拟人(personification)的修辞手法。这种修辞手法通过赋予事物以人的特质，如动作和情感，使其更加生动和具象化。拟人的修辞手法不仅能够增强文章的表达力，而且更容易引发读者的共鸣。在本文中作者通过拟人化的方式，以自然奇观的口吻向人们发出保护环境的呼吁。
1. What is the world like in Frozen and Waterworld Why does the
writer mention the two films
In Frozen, the world is cold and full of ice and snow. In Waterworld, the world is covered in water, with no land. The writer mentions the two films to show the serious problem of climate change.
2. Why is it important to stop these natural wonders from disappearing
It’s important because natural wonders are beautiful. They give us hope and seeing them makes us happy. Also, they are home to many plants and animals. The life cannot live without lakes, rainforests and glaciers.
