隨著脫口秀搬上銀幕,諧音梗被帶火了。比如,一些脫口秀演員為了寫出“新?!?,差點得了“心?!钡鹊?。那么,英語里有諧音梗嗎? 答案是肯定的。英語母語者也喜歡用諧音和雙關(pun)開玩笑,這些梗大概率比較冷,有點像爸爸們喜歡開的玩笑,他們稱這種冷笑話為dad jokes。 A dad joke is a short joke, typically a pun, presented as a one-liner or a question and answer, but not a narrative. Generally inoffensive, dad jokes are stereotypically told by fathers among family, either with sincere humorous intent, or to intentionally provoke a negative reaction to its overly-simplistic humor. “dad joke”是種短笑話,通常是雙關語,以一句話或問答的形式出現,但不是在講一個故事。一般來說,“爸爸笑話”是沒有惡意的,一般認為是爸爸和家人們講的。要么是在真在開玩笑,要么就是故意地制造“冷感”。 比如說美劇《摩登家庭》里的爸爸菲爾(Phil),就經常用諧音梗講一些冷段子,他跟家人們講的段子,真的是名副其實的“dad joke”了。 今天給大家準備了一些諧音梗式冷笑話(dad jokes)。
