英语笔记-双关语

英语笔记-双关语

英语笔记-双关语2014-2-24 9:00 类别:英语口语来源:enguo 责编:meten我们看一些比较生活化,都是我在日常生活中听到过的双关语。

1.You can only drink in your private place.你只能在自己的地方喝酒。

Private place这个字有两个意思,一个是指私人拥有的地方,如自己的房子或是自己的小房间,另一个意思则是相当于中文的「私处」.记得有一次和老美在我们宿舍楼下的交谊厅开party,像这种时候大家不免要喝点小酒。

但是我们学校有明文规定,不能在公共的场合喝酒,所以party才刚开没多久,舍监就跑来对我们说,"You can only drink in your private place."他的意思当然是要我们把酒拿回自己的房间喝啦。

没想到这时候有一个老美耍宝,把整瓶啤酒往自己的裤子一放,说,"Ok,now I'm drinking in my private place."(好,我现在就在我的「私处」喝酒。

)直把大家笑到四肢无力。

2.You cold shoulder.你对人都不理不睬。

在英文中,give someone a cold shoulder这句话指的是对某人不理不睬的意思。

例如,"My girlfriend gave me a cold shoulder after a huge fight."(我的女朋友在跟我大吵一架之后就不理我了。

)而在我之前所提的那部007之中,有这样一段剧情,就是当石油大王的女儿(苏菲·玛索饰)和007在床第之间温存时,她一边冰块摩擦他的肩膀,一边说,"You cold shoulder."其实这句话表面上是说,「你的肩膀好冷」但事实上她想说的是,「你都不理人家」.如果有去租录影带回来看的人,不妨注意一下这句话它是怎么翻的。

英语广告中双关语的运用技巧谐音双关

英语广告中双关语的运用技巧谐音双关

“谐音双关是用拼写相似,发音相同或相近的词构成的” 1 。

广告制作者非常乐于使用谐音双关,因为此类双关具有风趣、幽默、俏皮、滑稽的语言风格,能增强广告的说服力和感染力,从而给消费者留下深刻的印象。

(1) More sun and air for your son and heir. 2译文:这里有充足的阳光,清新的空气,一切为了您的子孙后代。

在这则海滨浴场的宣传广告中,制作者巧妙地运用了sun-son, air-heir这两对谐音字,使广告语言不仅和谐悦耳,读来朗朗上口,而且颇风趣、幽默,具有感召力。

(2)Trust us. Over 5000 ears of experience. 3译文:相信我们吧。

历经5000多只耳朵的检验,有着5000多年的经验。

这是一则助听器推销广告。

从字面看,它说明了该产品已经接受了众多消费者的考验,但字里行间巧妙地嵌入一对谐音字ears-years,充分暗示了该产品悠久的历史,久经考验的上乘质量。

许多广告都在商品品牌的名称上做文章。

品牌名称中的双关语不仅能增加广告的趣味性和幽默感,更重要的是使品牌名称更能吸引人们的注意力,便于记忆,增加宣传攻势力度,以此达到宣传产品的目的。

品牌名称中的双关语大多采用谐音的方法。

(3) WEAR-EVER introduces a new concept in glass oven ware: CLEANABILITY. 4译文:“恒久”玻璃炉具带给你一个全新的概念:洁净。

这里生产商利用其商标WEAR-EVER一词多义的特点,大力推销其产品:一方面WEAR-EVER为其品牌名称,另一方面该词又另有含义:既为wear forever(体现产品结实耐用),又为wherever(说明到处受人欢迎)。

该广告从多角度推销其产品,能够激起顾客的购买欲望,具有一定的劝说作用。

1.2. 语义双关“语义双关是利用词语或句子的多义性在特定环境下形成的双关” 5 。

不可不知:英语中有趣的双关语-趣味英语.doc

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。

①He is not a grave man until he is a grave man.②They pray for you today and prey on you tomorrow.刚才我去网上检索了一下,找到一个国外网站评选的2003年十大pun,我从中挑选了三个比较简单的,给各位介绍一下,如果您能看懂、听懂,肯定会觉得pun很有意思。

①He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends.他违章超速驾驶,结果将昂贵的名车撞到树上,他终于看到他的奔驰车(Mercedes)是怎样撞弯(bends)的。

这句话的幽默之处是将Mercedes Benz(奔驰车)中的Benz,故意改写成bends。

②Time flies like an arrow, 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。
