排比就是为了加强语势而把三个或三个以上结构相同、内容相关的词组或句子排列在一起。排比的使用能够起到增强语气、充分抒情、集中说理的作用。例如:
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that Americais a place when all things are possible,who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time,who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
这三个排比组合句是奥巴马竞选总统获胜演讲的开场白。通过这三个排比句,奥巴马言简意赅地表达了他获胜的意义:显示出“美国梦”的独特性和普遍价值,肯定他的获胜是对美国政治文化传统的继承而不是背离。
