epiphora 常见有两种用法:
The baby has epiphora, so her cheeks are often wet. 宝宝有溢泪,所以她的脸颊经常是湿的。
In the speech, the writer uses epiphora by repeating the same phrase at the end of several sentences to build emotional force. 在这篇演讲中,作者通过在多个句子末尾重复同一短语来使用“句末重复”,从而增强情感力量。
/ɪˈpɪfərə/
源自希腊语 **epi-**(“在……之上/向……”)+ pherein(“携带、带来”),原意接近“带到……上来/加在末尾”。后来在医学语境中指“泪液外溢”,在修辞学中指“在句末反复加上同一表达”的重复手法。
