47、od. 林老板是位精明的商人，心里总有一把算盘。打折卖东西让他心疼不已，翻译时增加click一词，巧妙地再现了林老板拨动心里算盘的动作，算盘珠子卡搭的响声似乎都能听见。林老板痛惜作亏本生意的心理状态借助拟声词click表现得淋漓尽致。,6.

50、快的舞鞋。我只有一个铅一样重的灵魂，把我的身体紧紧地钉在地上，使我的脚步不能移动。(朱生豪译),语义双关是利用多义词(polyseme)或同形异义词(homonym)所构成的双关，例如： Try our sweet corn, and youll smile from ear to ear. 尝尝我们的甜玉米，包你乐得合不拢嘴。 （ear是多义词，既有“耳朵”的意思，又有“穗”的意思。） We must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately. 如果我们不团结在一起，我们将一个个被绞死。,音义双关多体现在文学作品人物的特殊命名上，即

51、作家在塑造人物形象时，借用音义双关的手段，赋予人物特殊姓名，以揭示人物的性格、行为和命运。 Women have a wonderful sense of right and wrong, but little sense of right and left. 女人对善与恶具有惊人的感觉，但对左与右则感觉甚微。 The boiled lobster walked into the office. 那些英国士兵走进了办公室。 boiled lobster本意是煮熟的龙虾，这里用来指代英国士兵，因为英国士兵常穿红色制服。,（2）英语双关的本质特点,英语双关的构成需要两个基本条件，即歧义(ambig

54、g” (嘲弄之歌)。“para”作为一个希腊语前缀,含有伴随、旁边的意思，而“odie”指的是诗歌、歌曲之意，因而最初parody就是指伴着另一首诗歌而唱的歌。 仿拟是一种富于创造性的修辞方法，这种修辞方式通常模仿人们熟知的某一词语、某一名言警句、某一著名的语篇和格调，根据表达需要，适当地“改头换面”，构成一种颇为新奇的表达方式，从而达到讽刺、嘲弄或幽默的修辞效果。 Parody 的运用包括词、短语、句子和篇章。,A Dictionary of Literary Terms: The imitative use of the words, style, attitude, tone and i
