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“新梗”,差點得了“心梗”等等。
那么,英語里有諧音梗么?
答案是肯定得。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得玩笑,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,以一句話或問答得形式出現,但不是在講一個故事。一般來說,“爸爸笑話”是沒有惡意得,一般認為是爸爸和家人們講得。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》里得爸爸菲爾(Phil),就經常用諧音梗講一些冷段子,他跟家人們講得段子,真得是名副其實得“dad joke”了。
