Unit 3 A taste of English humour Using language

①He is not a grave man until he is a grave man. 其中的grave有两个含义, 一个是“严肃的”(形容词), 一个是“坟墓”(名词)，

因此这句话的意思是：

他不是一个严肃的人, 除非他躺到坟墓里才能严肃起来。 ②They pray for you today and prey on you tomorrow. 其中的pray(祈祷)和prey(捕食), 发音

相同, 外形相似。

因此这句话的意思是：

他们今天为你祈祷, 明天就会加害于你。
