1、英语中有趣的双关语作者: admin来源: 网络文章时间: 2018-09-21所谓pun，通常是指利用一个单词的两个含义，或者利用两个特定的单词，达到“一语双关”的目的。比如下面第一句话，其中的grave有两个含义，一个是“严肃的”（形容词），一个是“坟墓”（名词），因此这句话的意思是：他不是一个严肃的人，除非他躺到坟墓里，才能严肃起来。再比如下面第二句话，其中的pray（祈祷）和prey（捕食），发音相同，外形相似，因此这句话的意思是：他们今天为你祈祷，明天就会加害于你。这就是两个典型的pun。He is not a grave man until he is a grave man.Th

3、ow, fruit flies like a banana.这句话乍一看，好象是说：时光像箭一样飞逝，水果像香蕉一样飞逝。其实这句话后半部分的真正意思是：果蝇喜欢吃香蕉，也就是fruit flies/like/a banana。A bicycle cant stand on its own because it is two-tyred.这句话的表面意思是：自行车自己站不起来，因为它只有两个轮胎（two-tyred）。而这句话的另外一个意思是：这辆自行车被它的主人骑了很长时间，它现在太累了（too tired）。怎么样，pun是不是很有意思？我下面再列出三个pun，但不告诉您意思，请您自己琢磨
4、一下。如果您能琢磨出来，那说明您的英语水平已经很高了。he wore a new hairpiece every day and was considered a big wig.Old math teachers never die, they just become irrational.When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.直接与间接引语作者: admin来源: 网络文章时间: 2016-10-28Part I：单词与短语a dinner party晚宴；hostess n.女主人；sit next to sb.挨着某人坐；un
