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。

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

pun英语双关语解释

pun英语双关语解释pun（双关语），通常是指用一个单词的两个（或多个）含义，或用两个（或多个）发音相同或相近而意义不同的词，达到一语双关，幽默含蓄之效果。

谚语：Don’t trouble troubles until troubles trouble you. （麻烦不来找你，别去自找麻烦。

）这是一句采用双关语的谚语。

句中第一与第四个trouble 是名词“麻烦”的意思，而第二与第三个trouble 是动词“找麻烦”的意思。

这一谚语的基本意思是：不要去找“麻烦”的麻烦，直到“麻烦”来找你的麻烦。

英语中的pun（双关语），多见用于谚语俚语、名人名言、广告海报和幽默笑话。

例句：1、He is not a grave man until he is a grave man.要等到他躺在坟墓里，他才会严肃起来。

（句中前一个grave是形容词，意思是“严肃的”，后一个grave 是名词，意思是“坟墓”。

这句话的基本意思是：他不是一个严肃的人，除非他成了坟墓里的人。

）2、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。

（句中两个craft都是名词，前一个craft 的意思是“手艺”，后一个craft 的意思是“骗术”。

）3、Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted.并非所有重要的东西都计算得清楚，也并非所有计算得清楚的东西都重要。

（这是爱因斯坦的一句名言。

句中用动词count 的两个不同含义“计算”与“重要”，生动含蓄表达了这句至理名言。

）4、We must all hang together, or assuredly we shallall hang separately.我们大家必须团结一致，否则我们一定都会被分开处死。

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."。

1、On sunday he prays to God for you, on monday he preys on you他在星期天为你向上帝祈祷，在星期一他折磨欺骗你。

在这句话中巧妙地利用了pray,prey的发音相同从而产生两种有意思的异议。

2：有天A在飞机场给一个朋友接机，可是在他大声跟他的朋友打招呼时却警察逮捕了。

就因为他大声地叫出："Hi, jack!" 看似这件事很不可思议，实际上这就是双关语照成的一个天大的误解。

因为在英语中hijack 的意思是打劫，劫机。

刚好这个词的发音和A跟他朋友jack打招呼时的发音一致。

经过911事件后，美国警察对这类词及其敏感，更何况他叫的如此洪亮。

所以以后朋友们要出国跟朋友打招呼时可要小心咯。

省的照成一些不必要的麻烦。

以上两个例子都是因为同音而照成的幽默事件。

3：Father:Do remenber,act to be a good boy when i am awaySun: Dollars?Father:Why? when i was your age i acted to be a good boy for nothing.在这个例子中，利用be a good boy;be a good boy for nothing 形成了幽默的效果。

因为后者有表示无赖，没用的人意思。

4：Time flies fast like arrow, fruit flies like banana.从表面上这句话很容易被译成：光阴像箭一样飞，水果像香蕉一样飞。

大家可能会觉得后半句很怪，怎么水果会像箭一样，其实后半句真正的意思是果蝇喜欢香蕉。

这句话就是利用这点形成幽默气氛的。
