It has two connotations.

For example, He addressed you and me, and desired us to follow him. (Here us is used to refer to you and me.)
In the second case, it a word may refer to two or more words in the same sentence. For example, while he was fighting , and losing limb and mind, and dying, others stayed behind to pursue education and career. (Here to losing one's limbs in literal; to lose one's mind is figurative, and means to go mad.) 例句:
1>.At the next door he shook off his company and ran. He halted in the district where by night are found the lightest street, heart, vows and liberttos.

It Sarcasm is a strong form of irony. It attacks in a taunting and bitter manner, and its aim is to disparage, ridicule and wound the feelings of the subject attacked. For example, laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps break through.
【irony : 1) the amusing or strange aspect of a situation that is very different from what you expect 2) the use of words that say the opposite of what you really mean,often as a joke and with a tone of voice that shows this
satire : a way of criticizing a person ,an idea or an institution in which you use humour to show their faults or weaknesses
sarcasm : a way of using words that are the opposite of what you mean in order to be unpleasant to sb or to make fun of them
可见 irony 和 sarcasm 都有反语的意思 而 sarcasm通常指对人进行
挖苦嘲讽,irony可以指其他事物。satire和上面两个有区别,是指通过幽默对人,想法或机构的讽刺和取笑比如讽刺社会的阴暗面等。】 27.Allusion典故

英语里主语常用人称和非人称两种形式来表达。用非人称主语表达时,往往注重“什么事发生在什么人身上”。而汉语则较常用人称主语表达,侧重“什么人怎么样了”。英语中非人称作主语的句子主要有两种类型:
1,从有无生命角度划分,主语可区分为有灵主语 (animate) 和无灵主语 (inanimate) 两类。无灵名词作主语,常翻译成各种状语,译成 “ 由于 …… 因此 ” , “ 因为 …… 所以 ” , “ 在 …… 之后 ” 等等。
非人称主语句采用“无灵主语”(inanimate subject),表示抽象概念、心理感觉、事物名称或时间地点等,但谓语却常常使用“有灵动词”(animate verb)表示人或社会团体的动作和行为,如:see,desert,find,bring,witness,give,escape,surround,kill,deprive,serve,send,know,tell,permit,invite,take,drive,prevent…from等,这类句子往往带有拟人化(personification)的修辞色彩。举几个例子: E.g. 1 Past experience has taught us that we should not depend on others for everything. E.g. 2 His name slips my mind.
E.g. 3 A good idea suddenly strikes me. (I suddenly have a good idea!) E.g. 4 A strange peace came over her when she was alone. (She was peaceful when she was alone.)
E.g. 5 My only worry was that January would find me hunting for a job again. 2.用非人称代词“it”作主语。 It never occurred to me that she was so dishonest. 30. Consonance尾韵
31.Regression回环 32.Quotation引用
33.Innuendo: (暗讽)
It is a mild form of irony, hinting in a rather roundabout (曲折)way at something disparaging(不一致) or uncomplimentary(不赞美) to the person or subject mentioned. For example, the weatherman said it would be worm. He must take his readings in a bathroom.
34.Zeugma: (轭式搭配)
