英语谜语

英文谜语同中国谜语 一样有着极其悠久的历史，其中最为有名的大概是斯

芬克司之

“

谜

”

了。

< /p>

“

斯芬克司

”

一 词源自希腊语

sphinx

，是希腊神话中一个可怕的怪物，它 长着

女人的头、狮子的身躯，身上还有两只翅膀。传说中，狮身人面的女怪斯芬克

司生性残酷无比，常常守在大路口，让过往的行人猜一个谜，猜错了就要被吃

< br>掉。有一次，一位国王的儿子被斯芬克司吃掉了，国王一怒之下，发出悬赏：

< /p>

“

谁能把它制服，就给他王位。

”

青年俄狄浦斯

(oedipus)

应召前去， 很快就道

破谜底，斯芬克司便自杀了。这个世界著名的谜语是：

whatgoesonfourfeet, on two feet, and three, but the more feet it goes on, the

weaker it will be.

其谜底是

ehecrawlsfirst,thenwalksontwofeet,usesacanewh enold.

因为人在婴儿时

用四肢在地上爬行，成人后两腿行 走，年老后拄拐杖走路，所以谜底是

“

人

”

。

这

what goes on four legs at dawn, two at noon, and three at dusk?

该个谜语还可以

这样说：

6

/

14

< /p>

谜语采用了描写其特征的方法，英语中这种谜语被称为事物谜，也叫做描

< br>述性谜语

(descriptiveriddles)

。 事物谜的谜面通常是用比喻、暗示或其他方法来

描绘所猜谜底的特征，和汉语中物谜的谜 面构成及猜测方法基本相同。

2)what starts with t

，

ends with t and full of t

？谜底是

“a teapot”

。

teapot(

茶

壶

)

一词以字母

t

开头和结尾 ，而茶壶里装的自然是茶

(tea)

，所以是

< br>full of t

。

3)the longest word in the world.

谜底是

“smiles”

。这个单词的首字母和尾字母

之间是单词

“mile”(

英里

)

，可以理解为首尾间有一英里长，自然就是世界上最长

的单词了。猜这个字谜时，千万不要去翻词典去找一个字母最多的单词。

2) what is the cheapest way to see the world

？

谜底是

“buy an atlas”

。买一张地图

(buy an atlas)

就可以见到整个世界

(see the

world)

了。而其实

see the world

作为一个固定词组时的意思是

“

”

。

有些貌似简单，谜底却耐人寻味。如：

what goes up and never goes down

？谜底是

“age”

。年龄是永远向上增长，不

可能下降的。还有一些则语出惊人，出人意料，细细品味倒也幽默风趣，让人

< br>哑然失笑。

例如：

why should you never marry a tennis player

？谜底是

“because love means

nothing tothem”

。

love

的通用义是

“

爱情

”

，在网球比赛中则表示

“

”

。

英文智力谜语中有一类比较难猜，这类谜语是通过篡改英语谚语、成语或

名句 而形成的，要猜出这些谜语就必须对这些谚语、成语了如指掌，否则，就

是绞尽脑汁也未 必能猜中。略举例说明一下：

1)why shouldnt you cry if a cow slips on the ice?

谜底是

“because its no use crying over spilt milk.”

英语中 成语

“

覆水难收

”

是这样表达的：
