双关语幽默故事

1. Is Tom Right?
One evening Tom was sitting in a concert hall with his uncle. They were listening to the beautiful music.
“Do you know music?” his uncle asked Tom.
“Yes.”
“Can you tell me what the young man is playing now?”
“Yes. He is playing the piano.” Tom answered with a smile.
(叔叔想问:What music is the young man playing?而汤姆却以为是问:What instrument(乐器) is the young man playing?)

2. I Am a Barber
Girl: How many times do you shave(刮脸) a day?
Boy: Oh, about forty or fifty times.
Girl: Are you crazy(疯)?
Boy: No, I am a barber(理发师).
(女孩是想问男孩自己每天要刮几次脸,男孩回答的却是每天替别人刮几次脸。)
3. Happiness
Judge: Now I see that apart from(除......以外) money, you stole watches, rings and neckless.
Defendant(被告): Yes, sir. Because I heard that money alone does not bring happiness.
(人们常说的“光有金钱并不一定幸福”是指人们不应只有物质追求,也应有高尚的精神追求。此处被告是想借此话为自己开脱罪责。)

4. It is Out Too.
One cold day, a friend of the Brown’s went to visit them. The maid(女仆) stopped him at the door. The friend asked, “ Is Mr. Brown at home?” “No, he has gone out.” replied the maid.
“Is Mrs. Brown at home, then?”
“No, she has gone out.”
“May I come in and sit by the stove(火炉)?”
“No, it has gone out, too.”
(词组be out或go out指人时,意为“不在家,外出”;而用于指火、灯、炉子等时,意为“灭、熄灭”。此处仆人对来客持不欢迎的态度,且有些不耐烦,故连用了三个be/go out回答客人的提问。)
