This is known as an ambiguous figure.

这就所谓“图形”。

" Polysemous" describes a word with several meanings, such as " run" , " set" , or, in the kitchen, " pepper" .

“词”指一个词有种含，比如“跑”“置”，或者厨房里pepper一词。

That's why bilingual children are better at tests involving ambiguous figures.

这就为什么双语儿童在图形测试上表现更好原因。

One difficulty is that many words are polysemous.

一很词语。

I am not so ecclesiastical as Naumann, and I sometimes twit him with his excess of meaning.

我不像 Naumann 那样虔诚， 有时我会拿他来取笑他。

So clearly it's a pretty diverse word that can do a few different things for us.

所以很明显，它一个相当词，可以为我们做几件不同事情。

This case belongs to lexical ambiguity for the ambiguous meanings come from the polysemy of " sentence" .

本案属于词汇歧， 其歧来源于“句子” 一词。
