People traditionally think that metaphor and hyperbole have no relationship with each other. In fact they are closely related:the vehicle is more typically a physical matter and plays the function of amplifying the similarities with the body and thus forms a hyperbole. Indirect hyperbole is realized by metaphor, analogy and other rhetoric means and some hyperboles have metaphoric components. Yet there are some differences as two distinct figures of speech.%人们对比喻和夸张的理解一般都囿于传统的认识,认为二者毫不相干。比喻跟夸张之间事实上存在着联系:喻体是相对于本体更为典型的事物,实质上起着放大本体相似点的作用,这就形成了事实上的夸张;间接夸张要通过比喻、比拟等修辞方式来实现,部分夸张中兼含有比喻。但作为修辞学上的两种辞格,比喻跟夸张又存在着一些不同。
