把内容相关或相近、结构相同或者相似、语气一致、字数大致相等的多个词组或句子成分接连说出来，这种修辞方法叫做排比。其作用是周密地表达意思，反映事物的各个方面，加强语气，增强感染力，例如：
1. Augustus: (rising indignantly) I do not ask you, sir; and I will not allow you to say such things in presence. Our statesmen are the greatest known to history. Our generals are invincible. Our army is the admiration of the world. ( furiously) How dare you tell me that the country is going to the dogs?
The Clerk: What did yon expect? You told them our gallant fellows are falling at the rate of a thousand a day in the big push. Dying for Little Pifflington, you says. Come and take their places，you says. That isn't the way to recruit.
The Lady: How thrilling! How simple? And how tragic! But you will forgive England? Remember：England, Forgive her!
—AUGUSTUS DOES HIS BIT,
after Bernard Shaw's
奥古斯特：(愤怒地站起)我没有问你，先生，我也不容许你在我面前谈论这种事情。我们的政治家们是历史上最伟大的!我们的将军们是不可战胜的！我们的军队是全世界都赞誉的! （狂怒地）你怎么竟 敢告诉我说我们的国家就要完蛋了？
秘书：你指望卄么？你告诉他们说我们勇猛的同胞在大举进攻中成千上万地倒下，为小匹夫林顿镇而死， 你说！来吧，去接替他们的位置，你说！这哪里是动员入伍的办法呢！
太太：多么激动人心呀！多么干脆利落呀！多么悲壮呀！但是你会饶恕英格兰吗？记住，英格兰！饶恕她吧！
b. This brings us to the next question. Why does money matter? To put it differently, why is a properly functioning money supply important, not merely to bankers, financiers, and politicians, but to everyone? How does it affect investments，business income，and employment? Money is indispensable to our system of production and exchange. All economic activity is measured, guided, and facilitated by money.
