这是两则英文双关语的笑话
1 A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day."In English," he said,"a double negative forms a positive.In some languages though,such as Russian,a double negative is still a negative.However," he pointed out,"there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up "Yeah,right."
2 A couple of clams were eating chocolate bars while two fish watched.
"Did you see that?" one fish said,as the clams finished their treat.
"They didn't offer us a single bite!"
"What do you expect?" asked the other fish."They're two shellfish."
简单来说,第一个就是说,一个教授跟学生们说,有些语言是双重否定是肯定,双重肯定是否定,最后一个学生说 "Yeah, right." (双重肯定)来表示反对,来达到幽默效果.
第二个就是说,两条鱼看见两个蚌在吃巧克力,然后说它们是two shellfish(两个贝壳类水生生物),跟too selfish(太自私)同音.
再问: 两个蚌的那个 能用英文简单解说一下吗? 谢谢
再答: 用英文解说?这有点难度。。。 It means, those two clams didn't share their bars of chocolate to those two fish, therefore, one fish said they were too selfish/ two shellfish. Does it make sense?
