有趣的英汉翻译口语句子

1 句法构造双关

例句：

--"Do you ever draw picture in the nude?"

--"No, I usually wear a jacket."

对话中，发问的人是想问“你有不画过裸体画”，而答复的人却懂得为“你曾经光着身子画过画吗？”有趣的英汉翻译这则滑稽中双关发生的起因是对in the nude在句中不同功效的理解，即作定语或作状语。

2  语义双关

例一：一个男孩子为了寻求一个在银行窗口工作的女孩子，便在递交存折的同时附上了一张小纸条。

"Dear M:

I have been SAVING this question in the hope that I might gain some INTETRST. If free Friday, would you care to DEPOST yourself beside me at a movie? I have taken into ACCOUNT that you maybe previously engaged; if so I will WITHDRAW my offer and hope Saturday. At any RATE, your company would much enjoy, and I hope you will not ASSESS this as too forward. Check you late.

Sincerely B."

如斯有创意的求爱方法，女孩子能不为之心动么。男孩子巧妙利用银行术语（deposit, withdraw, account, assess, check）与日常环境的不批准思，以奇特的方式表白了本人的倾慕之情。

有趣的英汉翻译例二：英语习习用语活泼形象，用在必定的语境中，可能产生一语双关的结果。

--What weather does mice most dislike?

--When it is raining cats and dogs

"Cats and dogs"是滂沱大雨的意思。这则风趣取其字面意思，猫狗都从天上掉下来了，老鼠自然不爱好了。

3  语音双关

例一：The things my wife buy at auctions are keeping me baroque.

这是一位男士应用baroque（情势怪样的）与broke（破产）的相近读音来抒发对妻子花钱大手大脚的不满。

例二：Six year old Linda returned impressed from her school first day at school. Asked how she got on, she replied:" Every morning, we all have to sit at our desk and when the teacher calls our names, we have to answer 'prisoner' !"

当老师点名时，学生应当回答"present"。而Linda运用"prisoner";与"present"的相近读音，表白了对学校生涯的不满的you。

例三：--"You're not eating your fish," the waitress asked him,"Anything wrong with it?"

--"Long time no sea," the customer replied.

"Long time no sea"鱼久不见海，判断不新鲜。而"Long time no see"是友人会面时所用的寒暄语，相称于老友人久别重逢时说的“良久不见”。有趣的英汉翻译Sea与see是同音异形异义词，这位顾客奇妙天时用这一点，指出了鱼不好吃，不新颖。
