我有几道题目(English谜语）：
1what ring is square2why did the person throw a clock out the window?3what time is it when a pie is divided among four frinds?4what nail should you neverhit with a hammer5why is the sun like a loaf of bread?
1.What ring is square?
- boxing ring (拳击场地)
2.Why did the person throw a clock out the window?
- to see time fly
解释：time fly，字面是“时间飞行”，实际是“时光流逝”
3.What time is it when a pie is divided among four friends?
- 12:45 (即 a quarter to one)
解释：a quarter to one 是一点钟差一刻的意思，但也可以看成是一人拿1/4
4.What nail should you never hit with a hammer?
- fingernail（手指甲）
5.Why is the sun like a loaf of bread?
- Because it’s light when it rises.
双关：如果是太阳，就是说，升起的时候天就亮了
如果是面包，rise 是发的意思，也就是说，面包发起来的时候会变得很轻
1 A boxing ring. (用A boxing ring回答问句的ring, 是在字形和字音上玩游戏.其实ring的意思是圆圈或指环,boxing ring 却是指拳赛场地.
10．Because it’s light when it rises. ( 答案就太阳而言,它升起的时候,很亮.答案就面包而言,它松起的时候,很轻.两个意思同属于一句英文之中,这就是答案的妙处.)
2 To see time fly. （ 为什么人会把钟丢出窗外?你如果回答是因为夫妻吵架而摔东西,那就落入俗套,没什么好笑.但回答To see time fly 看时光飞驰,你说妙不妙?）
3 A quarter to one. ( A quarter to one是 12：45,再一刻钟就到一点.另外一个意思是一人分四分之一.)
4 Your fingernail. （用 fingernail回答问句的 nail ,是在字形和字音上玩游戏其实nail的意思是钉子, fingernail的中文意思是指甲,根本是问非所答.
5 Because it’s light when it rises. ( 答案就太阳而言,它升起的时候,很亮.答案就面包而言,它松起的时候,很轻.两个意思同属于一句英文之中,这就是答案的妙处.)
