摘　　要：Oxymoron(矛盾修饰法)是一种将互相矛盾、互相排斥的概念巧妙连在一起,以表达复杂思想的特殊修辞手段,与汉语中的“精警”、“反衬”颇多相似之处,例如:Oxymoron, a peculiar figure of speech in English, often poses irritating difficulties to bothcomprehension and translation. The problem lies chiefly in how to reconcile the apparentlyconflicting components. This article argues that the relationship between the opposingparts of an oxymoron is not just a conflict between a modifier and the modified, butit may involve internal relations of manner, shift in meaning, cause and effect, etc. amongthe words. If one can discover the relationship among the conflicting parts, he is close to solvingthe problem. The paper also suggests some concrete ways of understanding oxymoron by analy-sing specific examples from well-known authors.
