原文地址:同音异形字(homophone)作者:Rodney

    英文词汇有很多同音异形字(homophone ,听者若不留意上文下(context ,便很容易产生误会。试看下列例子:

    Peter : The soldier fought his enemy with his bare hands.

    Mary : Wow! The soldier has got a pair of hands like the bear's !

    赤手空拳(with one's bare hands 被误以为手掌巨大如熊掌(hands like the bear's ,皆因 "bare" "bear" 属同音异形字。

    当年美国小布什总统一时不慎,说了一句粗话 "Son of a bitch(狗娘养的)!",他便尝试用 homophone替自己辩解,称只是说了 "Sun on a beach" (沙滩上的阳光)。
