經(jīng)常看英語脫口秀你就會能發(fā)現(xiàn),英語脫口秀里的很多笑點(punch line)的來源都源自于雙關(guān)語。
我們的早餐英語之前也分享過很多以雙關(guān)語為答案的腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎。雙關(guān)語在英語中有同形同音雙關(guān),比如: light就有光,也有亮的意思。
我們上周分享的This is why it is called present. Present就是一個雙關(guān)語,即指的是禮物,也指的是當(dāng)下,一字雙關(guān),讓人回味無窮。
也有一類雙關(guān)語是同(相似)音不同形,比如主持人黃西在美國白宮的脫口秀,就用了同音不同形不同意的雙關(guān),讓人捧腹大笑。
這里黃西就調(diào)侃自己的母親姓Hu,和英文中who的發(fā)音有些相似。這就是一個非常經(jīng)典的借助同(相似)音不同形,不同意的雙關(guān)語而在脫口秀中的引發(fā)全場的一個笑點(punch line)。
今天我們分享幾個英語中使用雙關(guān)的高段位的英語段子,所使用的雙關(guān)都是比較常見的單詞,你可以試著看下能找到多少笑點呢?
