明喻simile是用另一种事物比喻要说明的事物，通过比喻词将两者联系起来。常见的比喻词有like, as, as if, as though, seem和as ... as ...等。本句使用了明喻修辞手法，coming to an end让读者真切地感受到地震的强度和破坏性。

由like可知，本句使用明喻修辞手法。将满地的bricks比喻为red autumn leaves（红色的秋叶），呈现出一片狼藉的景象，渲染出悲伤的氛围。but转折的使用及“没有风可以吹走”更让读者体会到灾难面前人们的无助和无力。
3. Slowly, the city began to breathe again.
拟人personification就是赋予物以人的言语属性。由breathe可知，本句使用拟人修辞手法，把city描写得栩栩如生，使读者感受到这座遭受过巨大创伤的城市开始复活，对这座城市充满了希望。

Task 1 :Discuss what can happen to a city during a big earthquake.
Thinking
Every human being has a basic instinct: to help each other out. If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it’s found in every culture without exception.
—The Martian
每个人都有一种基本的本能：会互相帮助走出困境。若远足者在山里迷路了，会有人组织搜救。若火车撞车了，人们会排着队去献血。若有一座城市被一场地震夷为平地，全世界的人都会输送应急物资。这是基本的人性，每种文化都是这样，无一例外。
