I wandered lonely as a cloud.
Einstein only had a blanket on, as if he had just walked out of a fairy tale.
Good coffee is like friendship: rich and warm and strong.
Life is like a can of sardines: everyone is looking for the key to open it.
He is like a proud rooster, thinking the sun rises just for him to crow.
這些例子展示了明喻通過比較兩種不同事物之間的相似之處,來傳達作者的想法或情感。
