| 例句 | paralipsis nounWORD NOTE paralipsis, proslepsis Paralipsis is one of the most useful and most common of all the sneaky rhetorical devices. When you mention something by declaring your intention not to mention it, that's paralipsis: I won't even talk about all the money he's borrowed from me. When you go into even more detail, that's proslepsis: Never mind the days of wild drinking, illegal drug use, traffic violations (including vehicular manslaughter), and overdue library books: those are beyond the scope of this profile. Used too freely, though, paralipsis and proslepsis give your writing a gossipy and back-biting tone (and might quite possibly be actionable). Unless your goal is to be gossipy and backbiting, employ these devices with care. — EMConversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage. |
