Quoting yilgun-7: What do these terms mean in English ?
1. Aphorism
2. Metaphor |
An aphorism is a short sharp clever saying about the truth. Modify: it is difficult to give an example as they are usually witty comments made at the time.
A metaphor is a term for a word or phrase used to describe someone, something or an action, but not using the literal context:
At the foot of the mountain
He has a heart of gold
He sleeps like a baby
