8、Key Words: advertisement; pun; kinds of pun; translation methods of punChapter I Introduction of Pun1.1 The Definition of PunAccording to The Oxford English Dictionary, the definition of pun is the clever or humorous use of a word that has more than one meaning, or of words that have different meani

9、ngs but sound the same.(Oxford Advanced Learners English-Chinese Dictionary, the sixth edition, The Commercial Press, page 1393)For example: ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man. Here the “grave” has two meanings. The first meaning is a place in the ground where a dead person is bur

10、ied. The second meaning is very serious and important. Here is the use of pun.According to Websters New Collegiate Dictionary , the meaning of pun is the humorous use of a word in such a way as to suggest different meanings or applications or of words having the same or nearly the same sound but dif

11、ferent meanings.(Websters New Collegiate Dictionary, G.&C. Merriam Company, Springfield, Massachusetts , U.S.A. 1977, page 935) For example:More sun and air for your son and heir. This is an advertisement in a poster. Both of sun and son, air and heir have the same sound but different meanings. Its

But there are some differences between pun and“shuangguan”（双关）. Shuangguan means that a word or a sentence has two meanings or making one sent

15、ence refers to two things. But as to pun , besides these two meanings, pun also means that one word or one sentence refers to two or more than two meanings. The meaning of pun is wider than shuangguan in Chinese( 李国南，“pun”与”双关“辨异”，J.外国语,2000,(6). Pun not only includes the meaning of shuangguan but a

16、lso can use two or more than two words which are similar in sound but different in meanings to express humorously.1.2 The Importance of Pun There are so many figures of speech in advertisement, but the mostly used is pun. Pun is very important in all rhetorical devices. The importance lies in its functions.The characteristics of pun is humor and wisdom. Its like a regulator to reduce depression and cont
