Metaphor - Anyu (English spelling)

Japanese: 暗喩 - あんゆ(英語表記)metaphor
Metaphor - Anyu (English spelling)
Along with direct metaphors (simile), metaphors are one of the most representative methods of simile. They are also called allegories. While a direct metaphor would be "He is a man like a demon," a metaphor does not use words (like) that externally indicate that it is a metaphor, but says "He is a demon." They are more common than direct metaphors in idiomatic expressions and Western poetry. This is because they have a stronger ability to evoke images.

Japanese:
明喩 (直喩 simili) とともに比喩の代表的方法の一つ。隠喩とも。「彼は鬼のような男だ」が明喩であるのに対して,暗喩では比喩であることを外形的に示す言葉 (「ように」) を用いず,「彼は鬼だ」と表現する。慣用的表現や欧米の詩では明喩よりも多く見受けられる。イメージの喚起力において勝るためである。
