不少人拿汉语的含糊其辞和一语双关来说汉语不准确，其实暴露的是这些人的英语水平太低，不知道英语也可以编很多好玩的段子。能够含糊其辞打哈哈其实是一种语言高度发达的标志。


拿那些东西讥讽汉语，说汉语不准确的人，实在是孤陋寡闻。


以下是我自编的英语含糊其辞的段子：


租房


I’d like to rent a room.


For how long?


For some time.


How long is some time?


A while.


How long is a while?


A couple of months.


How many months?


I’ll let you know in due time.


When is due time?


As soon as possible.




面试


How will you do your job if I hire you?


As hard as I can.


What does that mean?


Do my best.


Can you explain it in detail?


With due diligence.




有人嘲笑汉语的“施氏食狮史”，汉语有四声可以区别这些字，英语没有吧？看看下边：


rite right write wright
metal meddle medal mettle




一语双关，也是一种语言高度发达的标志。运用得当会产生独特的美感。以下来自莎士比亚戏剧《哈姆雷特》，大家品味一下：

What do you read, my lord?
Words, words, words
What is the matter, my lord?
Between who?
I mean, the matter you read, my lord.

That lie shall lie so heavy on my sword
That shall render vengeance and revenge,
Till thou, the lie-giver and the lie do lie
In earth as quiet as thy father’s skull. 6park.com
