n.
A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in “a sea of troubles” or “All the world's a stage” (Shakespeare).

You don't recognize what the phrase and clause in quotation marks are? Not even after the definition? They're all in the same paragraph!!
