Metaphor
In the sentence, "Historically, "shanzhai" is sometimes used as a metaphor to describe bandits who oppose and evade the corrupted authority to perform deeds they see as justified", should there be the word "adjective" in front of "metaphor"?
Top answer
No; if 'shanzai' is an adjective, then 'adjective' should be placed before 'shanzai'... and I am not sure that 'shanzai' is a metaphor. What does it mean?
