轭式搭配, 作为一种修辞手法的轭式搭配
the use of a word with two senses each of which apply to a different word in a sentence, as a figure of speech
Zeugma is a literary device where one word, often a verb or adjective, connects two or more different ideas or elements in a sentence, though the word often applies to each in a different way. This technique can create a unique effect by linking different ideas or actions. For example, in the sentence "He stole my heart and my wallet", the verb "stole" connects the two objects "heart" and "wallet," but the verb has different meanings: one literal and one metaphorical. This device can add variety, humor, emphasize contrasts, or create an interesting twist in meaning.
