摘　　要：British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was an eloquent and outstanding orator,and many national crises during World War II were magically solved after his delivery of speeches.This paper examines the most frequent rhetorical devices used in Winston Churchill’s famous World War II speeches such as“Blood,Sweat,and Tears”,“We Shall Fight”,“Their Finest Hour”,and“Speech on Hitler’s Invasion of the U.S.A.”from phonological,lexical,and syntactic levels.Besides,by quoting the concrete examples in the above speeches,this paper explores the roles logical appeal,emotional appeal,and ethical appeal based on Aristotelian rhetorical theory playing in Winston Churchill’s national-crises-solving speeches during the wartime.
