"Careful with fire" is good advice we know. "Careful with words" is ten times doubly so.
“小心火烛”是我们都知道的好建议。“小心言辞”则重要十倍。
"Careful with fire" is good advice we know. "Careful with words" is ten times doubly so.
语法：这是一个由两个平行结构组成的复合句，运用了类比和夸张的修辞手法。第一句“"Careful with fire" is good advice we know.”中，主语是带引号的名词短语“"Careful with fire"”，系动词是“is”，表语是“good advice”，而“we know”是一个省略了关系代词“that”的定语从句，修饰“advice”。第二句结构与第一句完全平行，通过将“fire”替换为“words”形成对比。其核心在于“ten times doubly so”这个短语，其中“so”是指示代词，指代前文的“good advice”；“doubly”是副词，修饰“so”，意为“加倍地好”；而“ten times”作为程度状语，进一步夸张地修饰“doubly”，通过这种递进式的强调，极大地突出了“慎言”比“慎火”更为重要的观点，使说理生动而有力。
