高段位英语脱口秀中的双关语（你能get几个）

英文中的双关语的段子

经常看英语脱口秀你就会能发现，英语脱口秀里的很多笑点（punch line）都源自于双关语。

我们的早餐英语之前也分享过很多以双关语为答案的脑筋急转弯。双关语在英语中有同形同音双关，比如：light就有光，也有亮的意思。

我们之前分享的《功夫熊猫》里的金句，就是一个典例，我们一起回顾一下。

You are too concerned with what it was and what will be. There is a saying: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called "present".

你对未来和过去考虑得太多了，有句老话：昨天是历史，明天是未知，今天才是拥有。这就是为什么它叫做礼物（现在）。

"This is why it is called present." Present就是一个双关语，即指的是礼物，也指的是当下，一字双关，让人回味无穷。

也有一类双关语是同（相似）音不同形。

接下来，给大家分享几个使用了双关的高段位英语段子，这些段子使用的双关都是比较常见的单词，你可以试一试，看下能找到多少笑点呢？
