Let's have some fun playing on English words.
(我們來玩玩英文詞彙吧！)
Let's learn some pun in English --
What is 'pun'?
Simply use a word/phase that carries two or more meanings or the sound of two or more different words to produce something amusing.
(聽過"雙關語"嗎?也就是運用英文字詞的多面向意思或是同音不同字的概念來玩字彙！)
In my opinion, it is one of the interesting and effective ways to remember some English vocab.
(個人認為，運用雙關語來認識英文字很有趣也很有效！還有還有，可以幫你多認識母語人士的語言文化喔！)
Q: "What do you call a snobbish criminal walking down stairs?"
A: "con-descending"
(你怎麼稱正走下樓梯的一個又跩又得意的犯人甚麼?)
(這個字叫condescending,也就是行為舉止上表現出一副優越感，或是高人一等樣)
Remarks: 'con' is referred to as 'convict', i.e. a criminal;
'descending' means to move from a higher place to a lower one;
'condescending' means to portrait/display/behave yourself as if you
were way better than any other people.
