短释义：
Rhetoric comes from the Greek meaning “speaker” and is used for the art of persuasive speaking or writing. When people listened eagerly to long speeches and studied them in school, rhetoric was generally used positively; now it is often a negative term, implying artfulness over real content. If someone gives a clever speech but doesn’t really address the problem, you might say, “That’s just a lot of rhetoric.”
修辞是旨在说服的说话或写作。如果你的目标是为《纽约时报》撰写社论专栏，那么你应该改进你的言辞。

修辞学源自希腊语，意思是“演讲者”，用于有说服力的演讲或写作的艺术。当人们热切地聆听长篇演讲并在学校学习时，修辞学通常被积极地使用；现在它常常是一个负面术语，暗示着对真实内容的巧妙处理。如果有人发表了精彩的演讲，但没有真正解决问题，你可能会说：“这只是废话。”

—Here to Stay by Sara Farizan
But no sooner had rhetoric established itself than antirhetoric did the same.

词源：
rhetoric (n.)early 14c., rethorike, “the art of eloquence and persuasiveness in language, the art of using language to influence others,” from Old French retorike, rethorique (Modern French rhétorique) and directly from Latin rhetorice, from Greek rhētorikē tekhnē “art of an orator,” from rhētōr (genitive rhētoros) “speaker, master speaker, orator; artist of discourse; teacher of rhetoric,” especially (in the Attic official language), “orator in public.” This is related to rhesis “speech,” rhema “word, phrase, verb,” literally “that which is spoken” (from PIE *wre-tor-, from root *were- (3) “to speak;” see verb). Since classical times with a derogatory suggestion of “artificial oratory” as opposed to what is natural or unaffected, “ostentatious declamation.”Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
修辞学（n.）14世纪早期，rethorike，“语言中的雄辩和说服力的艺术，使用语言影响他人的艺术”，源自古法语 retorike、rethorique（现代法语修辞学），直接源自拉丁语修辞学，源自希腊语rhētorikē tekhnē “演说家的艺术”，源自 rhētōr (属格 rhētoros) “演讲者、演讲大师、演说家；话语艺术家；修辞教师”，特别是（在阿提卡官方语言中）“公共演说家”。这与 rhesis“言语”、rhema“单词、短语、动词”相关，字面意思是“所说的”（来自 PIE *wre-tor-，来自词根 *were- (3)“说话；”参见动词） 。自古典时代以来，“人工演讲”一词就带有贬义，与自然或不做作的“夸张的演讲”相对。相关条目及更多
