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。 |
