Метафора: Mr. Pickwick paused, bottled up his vengeance, and corked it down. (Ch.Dickens) The slash of sun on the wall above him slowly knifes down, cuts across his chest, becomes a coin and vanishes. (J.Updike) Stars. Everlasting tears of the moon over its separation from the shining sun. (A.Boese) Метонимия: Red dress turned round and gave me an angry look. Our boss smokes a pack in one go. "It\'s me", answered a low voice. Ирония: I remember her bringing me up to a truculent and red-faced old gentleman covered all over with orders and ribbons, and hissing into my ear, in a tragic whisper which must have been perfectly audible to everyone in the room, the most astounding details... (O.Wilde)
Rain cat's and dog's -Дождь, как из ведра
dollar drops - метонимия (один доллар заменяет в данном случае понятие валюты как таковой) life is a game (метафора)
метафора - The hand of a clock метонимия - The other voice shook his head ирония- Cutting off chickens' head! Such a fascinating process to watch! п. с. Надеюсь, с переводом проблем не будет?))
