The smile on her face shone like a diamond. 她的笑容像寶石一樣閃閃發光。
The scenery along the Lijiang River in Guilin is just like a beautiful landscape painting. 桂林灕江的沿途風景就像一幅美麗的山水畫。
His heart is as hard as a stone. 他鐵石心腸。
Her heart is as soft as water. 她的心靈純潔無比。
As pure as snow. 純淨如雪。
As clear as crystal. 清如水晶。
As weak as water. 軟弱無力, 弱不禁風。
As unique as a finger print. 獨一無二。
As drunk as a mouse. 爛醉如泥。
Like a duck to water. 如魚得水。
Like a drowned cat. 落湯雞。
Like a cat on hot bricks. 熱鍋上的螞蟻。

這些例子展示了直喻通過使用像「像」、「如」等比喻詞來直接比較兩種不同的事物，以此來表達某種意思或情感。
