            英语谜语的类型

英语谜语可以分为两类,一类与汉语民间谜语一样,用几句话描述一样事物,然后要求猜射;另一类谜面短小,运用单词结构及双关谐音等手法巧妙答问。

  1. 物谜:从某种意义而言,可以把中国的物谜翻译成英语猜射,反之亦然,通过翻译,不影响谜底。如: 


  Two little brothers,
  One lives on one side,
  The other on the other side,
  They hear what you say,
  But they does not see each other。

  比较一下汉语中的谜语:

  左一片,
  右一片,
  长到老,
  不见面。

  有异曲同工之妙!谜底皆为耳朵(ear)。又如:

  It is so weak,
  That a little wind can move it,
  It is so strong,
  That you can cut it with a knife and leave no trace。
  ( key:water)

  2. 问答谜:用问答形式利用单词结构,语音语义等技巧,得出答案。常见的有:

  1) 谐音语义型(双关型),这是最常见的一类。

  What letter is a part of the head?  Key:I (eye)

  Why is a river very rich?
  Key:because it has two banks。(堤岸; 银行)

  Which four letters are the thief afraid of?
  Key:O,I,C,U (oh, I see you )

  What part of a clock is always old?
  Key: second-hand (秒针,二手货)

  2) 常识型:

  What is white when it is dirty?  Key:blackboard

  What never asks qustions, but gets a lot of answers?  Key:doorbell

  3) 字母结构型:

  which letter makes her hear?  Key:a

  I jump into the water, what do I do ?  key:waiter

  My first is in “ snow ”, but not in “ ice ” ,
  My second is in “ rose ”, and also in “ rice ” ,
  My third is not in “ pencil ”, but in “ paper ” 。
  My whole is a place where there is a lot of water。
