double meaning

名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The situation in which a word or phrase has two different, often opposite, meanings. For example, wicked can mean both "good" and "bad".
  2. A deliberate construction that plays on two separate meanings of a word or words; a pun.
    — It is important to note that connotation is different from an unambiguous “double meaning” or “pun.” With a pun both meanings have to be lexically current but with connotation it is the multiple, even ambiguous, associations of each word that are important.)
