托福听力里比较有难度的就是一些间接表达，具体地说就包括各类修辞。下面就和环球教育(原环球教育)的小编一起看一看吧：

　　1.Like引导

　　1) He sweats like a pig.(他像猪一样流汗。)

　　2) They slept like babies.(他们像婴儿一样熟睡着。)

　　3) Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.(John Ruskin)(生活没有目标犹如航行没有指南针。)

　　4) Records fell like ripe apples on a windy day.(E.B. White)(被打破的记录犹如刮风天成熟的苹果——纷纷坠落。)

　　2.As引导

　　1)She is as beautiful as a flower.(她像花一样的美丽。)

　　2)“I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as am angel, I am as merry as a school boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man...”(Charles Dickens)(我像羽毛一样轻，我像天使一样幸福，我像小学生一样快活，我像喝醉了酒的人一样飘飘然……)

　　3)The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me as if I had gained a new friend.

　　(我头一回读到一本好书，对我来说好象交了一位新朋友。)

　　注意：As引导的as...as结构在英语中得到了广泛应用，若能在口语交流或各种作文考试(如：TWE等)中用上一个，定会得到意想不到的效果，常用的as结构有：

　　(as) firm as a rock坚如磐石

　　(as) light as a feather轻如鸿毛

　　(as) close as an oyster守口如瓶

　　(as) mute as a fish噤若寒蝉

　　(as) strong as a horse强壮如牛

　　(as) cool as a cucumber泰然自若

　　(as) sober as a judge十分清醒

　　(as) sure as a gun千真万确
