第五篇：英語謎語123

英文謎語同中國謎語一樣有著極其悠久的歷史，其中最為有名的大概是斯芬克司之“謎”了。“斯芬克司”一詞源自希臘語Sphinx，是希臘神話中一個可怕的怪物，它長著女人的頭、獅子的身軀，身上還有兩只翅膀。傳說中，獅身人面的女怪斯芬克司生性殘酷無比，常常守在大路口，讓過往的行人猜一個謎，猜錯了就要被吃掉。有一次，一位國王的兒子被斯芬克司吃掉了，國王一怒之下，發(fā)出懸賞：“誰能把它制服，就給他王位?！鼻嗄甓淼移炙?Oedipus)應(yīng)召前去，很快就道破謎底，斯芬克司便自殺了。這個世界著名的謎語是：What goes on four feet, on two feet, and three, but the more feet it goes on, the weaker it will be.其謎底是Man.Because he crawls first, then walks on two feet, uses a cane when old.因為人在嬰兒時用四肢在地上爬行，成人后兩腿行走，年老后拄拐杖走路，所以謎底是“人”。這What goes on four legs at dawn, two at noon, and three at dusk? 該個謎語還可以這樣說：謎語采用了描寫其特征的方法，英語中這種謎語被稱為事物謎，也叫做描述性謎語(descriptive riddles)。事物謎的謎面通常是用比喻、暗示或其他方法來描繪所猜謎底的特征，和漢語中物謎的謎面構(gòu)成及猜測方法基本相同。

2)What starts with T，ends with T and full of T？謎底是“A teapot”。teapot(茶壺)一詞以字母T開頭和結(jié)尾，而茶壺里裝的自然是茶(tea)，所以是full of T。

3)The longest word in the world.謎底是“smiles”。這個單詞的首字母和尾字母之間是單詞“mile”(英里)，可以理解為首尾間有一英里長，自然就是世界上最長的單詞了。猜這個字謎時，千萬不要去翻詞典去找一個字母最多的單詞。

2)What is the cheapest way to see the world？

謎底是“Buy an atlas”。買一張地圖(buy an atlas)就可以見到整個世界(see the world)了。而其實see the world作為一個固定詞組時的意思是“見多識廣”。

有些貌似簡單，謎底卻耐人尋味。如：

What goes up and never goes down？謎底是“Age”。

年齡是永遠向上增長，不可能下降的。還有一些則語出驚人，出人意料，細細品味倒也幽默風(fēng)趣，讓人啞然失笑。

例如：

Why should you never marry a tennis player？ 謎底是“Because love means nothing to them”。love的通用義是“愛情”，在網(wǎng)球比賽中則表示“零分”。

英文智力謎語中有一類比較難猜，這類謎語是通過篡改英語諺語、成語或名句而形成的，要猜出這些謎語就必須對這些諺語、成語了如指掌，否則，就是絞盡腦汁也未必能猜中。略舉例說明一下：

1)Why shouldn't you cry if a cow slips on the ice? 謎底是“Because it's no use crying over spilt milk.”

英語中成語“覆水難收”是這樣表達的：“It's no use crying over spilt milk.”所以謎底就用成語作一戲言，因為母牛摔在地上，它身上的牛奶也灑了。

2)What's a sculptor's motto?

謎底是“All work and no clay makes Jack a dull boy.”

雕塑師(sculptor)的格言All work and no clay makes Jack a dull boy.(只工作沒有土，聰明孩子也變傻。)是模仿諺語All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.(只工作不玩耍，聰明孩子也變傻。)杜撰而來。英語100題 簡單題
