Pun 的含义:

英语的两种修饰法：矛盾修饰法矛盾修饰法跟PUN(双关语)

矛盾修饰法矛盾修饰法(Oxymoron)矛盾修饰法矛盾修饰法(Oxymoron)是将两个互相矛盾，互不调和，的词放在同一个短语中，产生特殊的深刻含义的一种修辞手段。

用它来状物写景，能突出事物的实质；用它来描绘人物，能使其更加鲜明；用它来表达复杂的思想感情或意味深长的哲理，能使其更强烈，更深刻。

它是一种紧缩隽语。

矛盾修饰法是将两个意思截然不同的词放在一起，结合成一个词组，而对语是通过平行结构引起两个概念的对比。

矛盾修饰法：从哲学上讲，是对立的统一；从艺术上讲，更能体现出描写主体的个性化，更具渲染力。

例如：1.a clever fool聪明的傻瓜2.a victorious defeat胜利的失败3.cruel kindness残酷的仁慈4.expressionless expression毫无表情的表情5.sick health憔悴的健康6.a living death行尸走肉7.with careful carelessness小心翼翼又漫不经心地8.bright and dark既光彩夺目，又朦胧黑暗9.dove-feather’d raven披着白鸽羽毛的乌鸦10.with her disagreeably pleasant laugh（她）自鸣得意却令人讨厌地笑起来11.an honorable villain体面的恶棍12.There was an audible stillness, in which the common voice sounded strange.(from Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser)这时是一片听得见的寂静，连人声听起来都是异样的。

(选自美国作家西奥多•德莱塞的长篇小说《嘉莉妹妹》)(作者用audible来修饰stillness，匠心独具地从反面烘托环境，使人耳目一新，过目难忘。

矛盾的对立面取得了高度的一致，形成了完美的统一。

美国情景喜剧老友记中双关语的妙用

科技信息SCIENCE &TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION 2010年第21期1双关语的定义英语语言中有一种常见的修辞，叫双关语，英文是pun,又称paronomasia,利用谐音，或者一词多义，或者特定的情景，带出两层或两层以上的含义，或者联想。

Oxford English Dictionary （1989：832）对pun 的定义是：“the use ofa word in such a way as to suggest two or more meanings or different associations,or the use of two or more words of the same or nearly the same sound with different meanings,so as to produce a humorous effect.”Webster ’s Third New International Dictionary （1981：1842）的解释是：“the humorous of a word in such a way as to suggest different meanings or applications or of words having the same or nearly the same sound but different meanings:a play on words.”从这些定义，我们可以看出双关语是a play on words （文字游戏），不是利用发音相似或相同的词汇，甚至是具有两个或多个含义的同一个词汇，或者句子，表达出两个或以上的含义，达到委婉含蓄，诙谐幽默的效果，这样，让听的人觉得既生动有趣，又点到为止，心领神会，十分有趣。

简单来说，双关语，言在此而意在彼。

所以，双关语无论是在文学作品，影视作品，广告，日常的生活场景中都得到广泛的应用。

双关与pun的对比

三指她的钩鼻子；四指她特殊的习惯——说话时
总是钩起手指点着自己的鼻子。此处的“Ｈｏｏｋ— ｅｙ”是狄更斯运用ｐｕｎ的一个精彩例子，一词四关。可见，这里的ｐｕｎ与汉语中的“双关”是不对应的。二、分类对比国内的修辞学者一直把双关分为两种：谐音双关和语义双关。谐音双关是利用音同或音近的条件使词语或句子语义双关。例如：
ｏｒ
ｏｆ
ｍｏｒｅｗｏｒｄｓｏｆｔｈｅｓａｍｅ

ａ
ｈｕｍｏｒｏｕｓｅｆｆｅｃｔ．”（用一个词去暗示两
种或两种以上的意义或引起不同的联想，或者用两个或两个以上发音相同或相近而又意义不同的词，以产生一种幽默效果。）汉语的“双关”在语言结构上表现为双指，在语义上表现为双重性，即具有词汇意义和情境意义，但后者才是双关的重点。修辞者希望传达的是隐藏在词汇意义下的情景意义。但不管从“双关”的命名，还是从它的缘起来看，“双关”都是“双重含义”或“关涉两种事物”［１］（ｐ１０¨。在这一点

pun英语双关语例子

pun英语双关语例子English puns are a delightful way to play with language, often using homophones or similar-sounding words to create a humorous effect.For instance, "She told me I was average, but I was below par." This pun uses "average" and "below par" to imply that the speaker's performance was not up to standard, while also referencing a golf term.Another example is, "I used to be a baker, but I couldn't make enough dough." Here, "dough" is used in two senses: the money earned and the bread mixture.Consider this one too: "I'm reading a book on anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down." The pun on "put down" suggests both the act of physically lowering a book and the idea of the book being so engaging that it's hard to stop reading.And here's a classic: "I used to be a teacher, but my class was cancelled." The word "class" is a double entendre, referring to both the group of students and the quality of the situation."I'm on a seafood diet. I see food and I eat it." This pun plays on the words "seafood" and "I see food," humorously suggesting a lack of self-control around food."I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised." Here, "drawing her eyebrows too high" is a pun on the phrase "raising eyebrows," which is used to express surprise.Lastly, "I used to be a sign maker, but I got the sack." The pun on "sack" refers to both a container for carrying items and being fired from a job, creating a humorous twist.。

英语修辞之双关——Pun

1、Pun[pʌn]Definition：The pun, also called paronomasia, is a form of which suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect.Typology(or types)1、The homophonic pun（谐音双关）.The homophonic pun, a common type, utilizes the exploitation [,eksplɔi'teiʃən] of word pairs which sound alike (homophones) but are not synonymous.A homophonic pun exploits words which are spelled the same (homographs) but possess different meanings and sounds. Because of their nature, they rely on sight more than hearing, contrary to homophonic puns. They are also known as heteronymic puns.a common type, uses word pairs which sound alike (homophones) but are not synonymous(the meaning is diffirent).Examples：①In George Carlin's phrase "Atheism is a non-prophet institution", the word "prophet 'prɔfit] " is put in place of its homophone "profit'prɔfit] ", altering the common phrase "non-profit institution".②"Pinky and the Brain" cartoon film series: "I think so, Brain, but if we give peas a chance, won't the lima beans feel left out?" which plays with the similar - but not identical - sound of "peas" and "peace".③Seven days without water makes one week(weak)2、The homographic pun（同形异义双关）exploits words which are spelled the same (homographs) but possess different meanings and sounds. Because of their nature, they rely on sight more than hearing, contrary to homophonic puns. They are also known as heteronymic puns.Examples：Douglas Adams's line "Y ou can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish. Unless of course, you play bass." (Bible)The phrase uses the homophonic qualities of "tune a" and "tuna", as well as the homographic pun on "bass", in which ambiguity is reached through the identical spellings of /ˈbeɪs/ (a string instrument), and /ˈbæs/ (a kind of fish).3、Homonymic puns(同音异义双关语), another common type, arise from the①exploitation of words which are both homographs and homophones.The statement "Being in politics is just like playing golf: you are trapped in one bad lie after another" puns on the two meanings of the word lie as "a deliberate untruth" and as "the position in which something rests".②a joke repeated by Isaac Asimov gives us "Did you hear about the little moron who strained himself while running into the screen door?", playing on 'strained' as "to give much effort" and "to filter".4、compound pun is a statement that contains two or more puns.Examples:①a complex statement by Richard Whately includes four puns: "Why can a man never starve in the Great Desert? Because he can eat the sand which is there. But what brought the sandwiches there? Why, Noah sent Ham, and his descendants mustered and bred."[8]This pun uses "sand which is there/sandwiches there, "Ham/ham", "mustered/mustard", and "bred/bread".5、A recursive pun is one in which the second aspect of a pun relies on the understanding of an element in the first.Examples:① the statement "π is only half a pie." (π radians is 180 degrees, or half a circle, and a pie is a complete circle).②"Infinity（无限大）is not in finity（有限的）," which means infinity is not in finite range.③"A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother."[9] Finally, we are given "Immanuel doesn't pun, he Kant（康德）" by Oscar Wilde.6、Visual puns are used in many logos, emblems, insignia, and other graphic symbols, in which one or more of the pun aspects are replaced by a picture. In European heraldry, this technique is called canting arms.Visual and other puns and word games are also common in Dutch gable stones as well as in some cartoons Examples:① Visual and other puns and word games are also common in Dutch gablestones;② In some cartoons such as Lost Consonants and The Far SidePuns in comedies、jokes、literatureIn Romeo and Juliet when Mercutio begs Romeo to dance, Romeo refuses.Unlike Mercutio’s shoes with “nimble soles,” Romeo says that he has a “soul of lead.” At one point, Romeo asks for a torch, saying “being heavy [sad], I will bear the light.”Captain Aubrey: "Do you see those two weevils, Doctor?...Which would you choose?"Dr. Maturin: "Neither. There's not a scrap of difference between them. They're the same species of Curculio."Captain Aubrey: "If you had to choose. If you were forced to make a choice. If there were no other option."Dr. Maturin: "Well, then, if you're going to push me. I would choose the right-hand weevil. It has significant advantage in both length and breadth."Captain Aubrey: "There, I have you!...Do you not know that in the Service, onemust always choose the lesser of two weevils?"Other great works of literature have included puns as well. Poet John Donne, whose name rhymed with “done,” often punned his name in his own poetry. In one of his hymns, he even puns the name of his wife Anne More, with the line “Thou hast not done, For I have more.”Our Bible reveals to us the character of our God with minute andremorseless exactness ... It is perhaps the most damnatorybiography that exists in print anywhere. It makes Nero an angelof light and leading by contrast. [Msark Twain]Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do —but gravitation can not be held responsible for it. [AlbertEinstein]Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future. [NielsBohr]Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful. [George E.P. Box]The best material model of a cat is another, or preferably thesame, cat. [Norbert Wiener]As a child, I received instruction both in the Bible and in theTalmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure ofthe Nazarene. [Albert Einstein]One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got intomy pajamas I'll never know. » [Groucho Marx]Puns often are used in the titles of comedic parodies. A parody of a popular song, movie, etc., may be given a title that hints at the title of the work being parodied, substituting some of the words with ones that sound or look similar. Such a title can immediately communicate both that what follows is a parody and also which work is about to be parodied, making any further "setup" (introductory explanation) unnecessary.Examples would include the Star Trek: V oyager episode entitled "False Profits" (a pun on the saying 'false prophets') or the episode of Psych entitled "The Polarizing Express" (spoofing The Polar Express and the definition of polarization, which means 'to break into factions')Non-humorous puns were and are a standard rhetorical and poetic device in English literature. Puns and other forms of word play have been used by many famous writers, such as Alexander Pope, James Joyce, Vladimir Nabokov, Robert Bloch, Lewis Carroll, John Donne, and William Shakespeare, who is estimated to have used over 3,000 puns in his plays.[citation needed]Here is an example from Shakespeare's Richard III:"Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of Y ork"(Son/sun)Shakespeare was also noted for his frequent play with less serious puns, the "quibbles" of the sort that made Samuel Johnson complain, "A quibble is to Shakespeare what luminous vapours are to the traveller! He follows it to all adventures; it is sure to lead him out of his way, sure to engulf him in the mire.It has some malignant power over his mind, and its fascinations areirresistible."[14] Elsewhere, Johnson disparagingly referred to punning as "the lowest form of humour".[citation needed]In the poem A Hymn to God the Father, John Donne, married to Anne More,reportedly puns repeatedly: "Son/sun" in the second quoted line, and twocompound puns on "Donne/done" and "More/more". All three arehomophonic, with the puns on "more" being both homographic andcapitonymic. The ambiguities serve to introduce several possible meanings into the verses."When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done / For I have more.that at my death Thy Son / Shall shine as he shines now, and heretoforeAnd having done that, Thou hast done; / I fear no more."。

浅析英语修辞格双关(Pun)

浅析英语修辞格双关（Pun）双关(Pun)是英语中一种常见的修辞方式。

《牛津英语词典》(The Oxford English Dictionary. 1989. Oxford: Clarendon Press. V o1.xII.P832)对其的定义是：The use of a word in such a way as to suggest two or more meanings or different associations, or the use of two or more words of the same or nearly the same sound with different meanings, so as to produce a humorous effect.”双关可以使语言意蕴丰富，诙谐幽默，或具有嘲弄讽刺的修辞效果，达到吸引读者的目的。

双关的分类大致分为语义双关，谐音双关，习语双关，语法双关以及延伸双关。

一、英语双关的构成１、语义双关语义双关（Homograph）是利用词语或句子的多义性在特定环境下形成的双关，例如：(1) Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man.明天你来找我，你就将发现我已经是个坟墓中的人了。

句中grave有两义，可作“坟墓”或“严肃的”、“重大的”解。

（2）--Why should a fisherman always be wealthy?--Because his business is net profit.为什么渔民总是湿乎乎的，因为他赚的是纯利润。

其中，net既可以指渔网，又可以指纯净的。

（3）Learn some craft when young, that when old you may live without craft.趁年轻时学一点手艺，以便在年老时可不靠行骗为生。

双关语

1.双关的定义英语修辞格Paronomasia，即双关，俗称Pun，来自拉丁语Paronomasia一词，意思是call by a different name(以不同的名称称呼)。

据记载，pun最早出现在古罗马时期，它的出现是为了满足表达双层意义的需要。

根据Oxford English Dictionary记载，双关作为修辞手法最早于1662年由John Dryden率先使用。

在Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English中，对于pun的解释是：Pun，an amusing use of a word or phrase that has two meanings，or of words with the same sound but different meanings.《辞海》所下的定义是“双关—修辞学上的词格之一，利用语言文字上同音或同义的关系，使一句话涉及到两件事。

”2.双关语的表现形式英语中的双关语大致可以细分为五种类型。

现分述如下。

2.1同音双关(homophonic pun)Britannia rules the waves ,Mussolini waives the rules.(大英帝国统辖四海,墨索里尼无法无天。

)wave本意是波浪,海浪,这里变成复数,意为各大海洋;而waive的词义是放弃、撇开,即撇开不管,可引伸为蔑视。

这两个词同音异义,构成双关。

19世纪英国依仗强大的海军称霸全球,中是到了二战时期,英帝国已日落西山,当时意大利的独裁者墨索里尼却敢蔑视英国、称霸地中海。

英国一位评论家用此双关语来概括当时欧洲的形势,哀叹英国走了下坡路。

: Make your every hello a real good-buy.(让你的每声“哈罗”都真的物有所值。

) 这是一则关于电话的广告，其中的“good-buy'’与“good- bye”同音，本意为“买得好，物有所值”，而“hello”和“good-bye”分别是打电话之初和电话结束时的礼貌用语，在这里用以表示电话声音从头到尾都很清晰，说明电话的质量好，买得“物有所值”。

pun英语双关语集锦

PUN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。

双关语（pun）是英语中一种常见的修辞手法。

该修辞格巧妙利用词的谐音、词的多义或歧义等，使同一句话可同时表达不同意义，以造成语言生动活泼、幽默诙谐或嘲弄讥讽的修辞效果，使人读来忍俊不禁、英语中双关语的构成通常需要两个基本条件，即双重情境（double context）和多义词或同音异义词。

其构成方式主要有以下四种：1）同音异义双关（谐音双关）指在一个语境中巧妙运用两个或多个词语的同音或谐音达到讽刺或具诙谐意味的效果。

eg1. Seven days without water makes one weak.七天不进水，人就会虚弱。

weak和week是同音异义词。

因此这句话听起来可以理解为：Seven days without water makes one week.eg2. You earn your living and you urn your dead.生前劳碌奔命，死后化灰入土。

earn与urn(火化)同音异义，用在一起显得俏皮，别有趣味。

2）同词异义双关（多义词双关）指在同一语境中运用一个词语的两种意思巧妙地达到幽默风趣的效果，使读之别有韵味。

eg1. A: What's the longest sentence in the world?世上最长的句子是什么？B: Prison for life. 无期徒刑。

sentence既有“句子”的意思，也有“刑期”的含义。

eg2. Women have a wonderful sense of right and wrong, but little sense of right and left.女性对善恶感觉惊人，而对左右感觉麻木。

该句借用同词异义双关讽刺女性方向感差，开车左右不分。

eg3.We must all hang together, or we shall all hang se-parately. 我们必须团结一致，否则将一一被绞死。

英语双关语Pun，又叫paronomasia 或play-onwords，是利用语言中的谐音、歧义、模糊等现象，让一个词语、一个短语、一个句子或一个语言片段同时兼顾两种事物，或表达双层意思。

双关语的恰当运用可以使语言生动有趣，或借题发挥，或指桑骂槐，收到由此及彼，由表及里的修辞效果。

李鑫华先生（2000 ： 190-192）在讨论Pun 的分类时说：文军先生在其《英语写作修辞》中列出了五类双关：（1）同音双关；（2）近音双关；（3）同词异义双关；（4）一词多义双关；（5）歧解双关。

这个分类固然详细，但失之于繁琐，不如分两类简洁明了：将前两种划为同音双关，后三种划为同词双关。

笔者赞同李先生这样的分法，有利于把握这一辞格的特点。

不过，按照结构成分所起的作用，笔者认为分三类为宜：（1）语音双关；（2）语义双关；（3）音义双关。

一、语音双关语音双关也称“谐音双关”，是巧妙地运用同音异义词（homophones）构成双重意义，使人产生由表及里的联想。

语音双关是双关辞格的基本形式。

E.g.1： Seven days without water makes one weak.七天无水喝，渴得人虚弱。

E.g.2：nSundaytheypray foryouandon Mondaythey prey on you.星期日他们为你祈祷，星期一则对你掠夺。

例1 巧妙套用了Sevendays makeone week 这个人所共知的句子，利用weak 和week 同音，获得幽默的效果。

例2 则利用pray（祈祷）和prey（掠夺）同音异义，把两个意义完全相反的句子排在一起进行对比。

英语修辞手法关于双关的介绍

A pun or making a pun implies making a humorous use of a word which bears two (and sometimes even multiple) meanings or of different words sounding the same. Invariably and inevitably, utilizing puns not only reveals delicate sensitivity but unfolds exquisite taste .Even, hardly will a text be comfortably comprehended unless the subtle usage of a pun is duly spotted and understood. To prove this, let facts be delivered.双关语或使用双关语系指利用词的一词多义现象或同音异义现象产生出的诙谐用法.故而，此美不仅演绎情感之细腻，更能诠释情趣之高雅。

若不能领悟双关之美，则恐难读懂语篇之意。

所谓pun，通常是指利用一个单词的两个含义（语义双关），或者利用两个特定的单词（谐音双关），达到“一语双关”的目的。

比如下面第一句话①He is not a grave man until he is a grave man.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。

②They pray[prei]for you today and prey/prei/ on you tomorrow.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。
