英语一语双关之朝花夕拾(3)

1. The Energizer Bunny was arrested and charged with battery.

(Energizer Bunny 是一个电池品牌的代言动物形象。关键词:charged with battery . 原意是刑事术语:被控以殴人罪。但是,charged 另一个意思是:充电。Battery 另一个意思是:电池。 )

2. He bought a donkey because he thought he might get a kick out of it.

(关键词:get a kick out of something , 意思是从某件事物获得极大乐趣。而kick 又与donkey 联系起来。)

3. I told a chemistry joke but there is no reaction.

(关键词: chemistry 和reaction : 化学反应。)

4. He was a millionaire golfer, so he used his chauffeur as his driver.

(关键词: driver ,既是司机,也可解为高尔夫球杆。)

5. The heart patient refused the transplant saying he'd already had a change of heart.

(关键词: change of heart : 改变主意。 但是字面曲解为:换心脏,与句首的heart transplant 呼应。)

如果我连续发了这么多一语双关你还是没有reaction 的话,证明我们之间没有什么chemistry ,那我就要考虑一下change of heart 了!
