6、英语双关利用其特有的本质特点,故意造成歧义,来达到言在此而意在彼的特殊效果。英语双关语的应用能起到一种诙谐幽默,冷嘲热讽,形象生动的作用并能充分体现人物的性格特征,加强语言的美感,提高该作品的可读性来引起读者的兴趣。然而,英语双关语的翻译又是极其困难的,很多人甚至认为是不可译的,因为英汉两种语言的语音不同,两种语言的多义词并不能一一对应,但英语双关语还是存在一定的可译性。本文主要介绍3种主要翻译方法:直译法,意译法,注释法。【关键词】英语双关语;分类;本质特点;作用;翻译1.IntroductionInacertaincontext,awordorphrasethatisrelevantt
