单词	topos
释义	topos /ˈtɒpɒs / noun (plural topoi /ˈtɒpɔɪ/) A traditional theme or formula in literature: it is not easy to distinguish fact from topos in these documents... These are traditional Renaissance topoi of the fortune-telling of the natural world; nonetheless, they underscore the patriarchal view of Egypt's troubles as stemming, naturally, from women. Irony has a critical function against an empty or insipid Romanticism and romantic topoi, for instance the Parisian dream and, moreover, the Orient that has become a commonplace. Perhaps most usefully, however, the book offers a repertoire of rhetorical suggestions, topoi for the specific topic of rhetoric (hence the Aristotelian force of the title-it is a Rhetoric of Rhetoric for rhetoricians). Origin 1940s: from Greek, literally 'place'.
