Wordplay(双关语)也称pun,是一种有趣的文字游戏。它利用词的多义和同音的条件,使语句具有双重意义,是“言在此而意在彼”的修辞方式。双关语有homophonic pun(谐音双关)和homographic pun(语义双关)两类。谐音双关是利用音同或音近的特征使词语或句子具有双重意义。
Wordplay uses the sounds and meanings of similar words in an amusing or clever way, for example:
I was trying to discover how lightning worked, and then it struck me!
It can also be used to reinforce the meanings of themes: in the title The importance of Being Earnest. “Earnest” is an adjective as well as a character’s name.

I will put half the money in the saving jar, 200 yuan in the investing jar, 200 yuan in the spending jar and 100 yuan in the giving jar. I must save a lot of money for my future education. I need to invest myself, such
as buying online courses and going to
the gym. Besides, I need money to buy
