Para.3 What figures of speech(修辞手法) are used
Professors and students alike in the three universities made an epic
journey over a distance of more than 2,000 kilometres, most of them on foot. Their bed was the dusty road and their roof was the open sky, often lit up by exploding Japanese bombs. Conditions were little better once they reached the remote and mountainous south-west part of China .
They had to live in rough buildings, packed 40 to a room, like
sardines. There were dire shortages of food, books, and equipment.
Furthermore, classes were frequently disrupted due to fierce air attacks
and often had to be held before 10 am and after 4 pm.
Learning to learn
Similes（明喻） and metaphors（暗喻） are two
commonly used, but easy to confuse, figures of speech.
Similes compare and show similarities in typically different things. Similes usually use connecting words such as like, as, so and resemble. For example, He is as cool as a cucumber. Unlike similes, metaphors make direct comparisons without using connecting words. For example, She has a heart ofa lion.

《森林之魅——祭胡康河上的白骨》
静静的，在那被遗忘的山坡上， 还下着密雨，还吹着细风， 没有人知道历史曾在此走过， 留下了英灵化入树干而滋生。 Many students from Lianda joined in the army to
defend(保卫) our country. Many even sacrificed(牺 牲)their lives.
Softly, on the hillside forgotten by all,
A misty rainfalls in a gentle breeze;
There is no trace ofthe footprints of history;
Where brave souls once stood, breathing new life into the trees.

Para4. However, despite the immense hardships and the daunting challenges, it was right in this place, over period of eight long years, that the nation's
intellectual heritage was not only guarded but fortified by the passion and belief of the worthy academics of Liand a. It is no wonder that many, if not most, of
China's leading scholars and scientists emerged at Liand a, including the two
Nobel Prize-winning physicists, Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao. "Liand a laid the foundation for every achievement I have made, Yang recalled. He still
remembers learning in a temporary classroom that had no glass in the windows. "On windy days, we had to hold down the paper on the desk, which would
otherwise be blown away,"he said.

80th anniversary of Lianda ’s founding
6. A product of the war, Lianda is now physically gone. But it has become the crowning glory of China's modern universities, not only because of its
prominent professors and talented students, but also because of the school's strong spirit of perseverance and dedication. In 2017, representatives from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nankai University and Yunnan
Normal University gathered to commemorate the 80th anniversary of its founding.
7. More than eighty years on, the priceless contribution of Lianda still needs to be reaffirmed. It has become part of the collective memory of the Chinese nation, with its spirit as the blueprint for all universities in China in the
modern era.

千秋耻，终已雪；
中兴业，须人杰
西南联大校歌
万里长征 ，辞却了五朝宫阙 暂驻足衡山湘水 ，又成离别
绝徼移栽桢干质 ，九州遍洒黎元血 尽笳吹 ，弦诵在山城 ，情弥切
千秋耻，终当雪
中兴业，须人杰(talent)
便一成三户，壮怀难折
多难殷忧新国运，动心忍性希前哲
待驱除仇寇，复神京，还燕碣
