幽默的英语笑话

幽默的英语笑话

幽默的英语笑话以下是六个幽默的英语笑话及翻译:1. Why is the doctor so angry? (为什么医生那么生气?)Because he has no patience.(因为他没有耐心呀。

)笑点:耐心=patience,病人(复数形式)=patients,两个词读音相似,一语双关。

2. What is the longest word in the English language?(英语里最长的单词是?)Smiles. Because there is a mile between its first and last letters.(Smiles,因为它的首尾字母之间隔了一英里那么长。

)笑点:翻译时需要保留smiles,因为中文不分单复数,这里规避了字面意义上的最长,而是利用了单词mile 的含义。

3. What do you call a deer with no eyes?(你把没有眼睛的鹿叫做什么?)No idea.(不知道。

)笑点:deer 和idea 读音相似,这里是谐音梗。

4. Two cats are on a roof. Which one slides off first?(两只猫在屋顶上,哪只先滑下来?)The one with the smaller mew!(叫声更小的那只!)笑点:mew 是猫叫的拟声词,这里也可以理解为mu(摩擦系数),根据物理定律,摩擦系数越小,物体越容易滑动。

5. What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire?(当你把一个雪人跟一个吸血鬼结合起来,会得到什么?)Frostbite.(霜冻。

)笑点:frostbite 有霜冻和冻伤的意思,这里是双关。

B:“Thank heaven it isn’t plural.”
把握这则幽默的关键是理解singular一词:说话者是说女孩 的嗓子很“非凡,特别”,而听话人借singular另外一个意思“单数”
不失 表达 是爱 嗓门
真是 下面
——“Yes. I did yesterday moming when the alann clock fhiled to go o正”
(2)Whv is che stadium so c0017
Because there are so manv fans.
如果你认为仅仅是因为体育馆里有很多球迷,里面就很凉 快,那就不符合逻辑了;不要忘了,白n还有另一个意思也很常用, 即“扇子”。我们夏天用的电扇就是“eleccric fan”。
很多英语幽默令人忍俊不禁之处都在于它们的一词多义。
眨够迮
我们知道,词汇是英语学习中的一个很重要的环节,也要讲 究方法。方法对路,往往事半功倍,而且乐趣良多。比如唱唱英文 歌曲,读读英语小幽默、猜猜英语谜语等等。这样不仅可以提高词 汇量,而且会进一步提高学习英语的兴趣。有了兴趣这个好“老 师”,想不提高英语成绩也难。
我们仅就英语小谜语和小幽默中出现的一词多义现象简单 举几个例子:
(3)Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his bachelor’s degree and the woman gets her master’s status.
我想这可以属于时下很受欢迎的“男女幽默”了吧:它把婚姻 比喻成一所学院(institudon),男人失去了学士(bachelor)学历,而 女人拿了硕士(master)学位;这样理解,显然不知幽默从何而来。 要知道'bachelor还有一个意思就是“单身汉”(a sin91e man),而同 样master的一个意思是“主人”,同slave相对。知道了这点,在结 合男女在婚姻生活中的关系,相信你会被这句话逗得笑出声来。
(1 O)Some people are tall(ing about cheir business. “My business is lookillg up,”said the astronomer. “Mine is goiI喈llp ilI smoke,”complained the cigar—maker “Mine is an write.”chuc姑ed the wricer.
(8)The矗咖er whose p唔was 1(iUed by an automobile was raving
mad. “Don’t worr),,”said the moto订st, trying to comfort the owner,
“1 w山replace you。pig” “You can’t,”growled the farmer, “you ain’t fat enoughf”
产生误解真是情有可原! 注:mn:1.to compete in a race for elected ofhce:竞选2.跑
(7)一“I can’t bear a f001,”said a lawyer to a 6rnler 一“Your mother could.”said the自肌er.
这叫骂人不留痕,让人称绝! 注:bear:1.stand,put up with忍受;2.垂ve binh to生产
(1)can you get down疗om an elephant? No.Because you can only get down f}om the ducks. 这个小谜语像我们经常做的脑筋急转弯。一听见问题,我们 立即会做出反应,以为是问能不能从大象上下来;但是谜底告诉 我们从鸭子上能下来,这就叫人看不懂了。但是,稍微动动脑筋, 转换一个角度,你就会明白,问题出在down一词上。它还可以作 名词,意为“绒毛,鸭绒”。你要是留心的话,会看到冬天很多人穿 的羽绒服上就有这两个英文单词:natural down.要是用“下面,向 下”来解释,可行不通。 看下面一则谜语:
