英语脑筋急转弯
个人简历表格制作-蜂蜜美容
在英语国家中,有不少类似于我们中国人爱做着玩儿的脑筋急转弯
问答题.这些问题要么非常寻常而回答出其不意;要么非常古怪而回答
笨拙老实,但都能达到让人会心一笑的效果.笑过之余,你还会对自己
的思维定势有所意识,所以做这类问答题,不仅会让人轻松好笑,同时
也锻炼了我们思维的灵活性.
试试下面两道题:
can you go as
fast as a racing car
(什么时候你能像跑车一样快 )回答是:When
you're in it.(当
你坐在跑车里的时候.)
does
afternoon come before morning in the world (世
界上哪个地方下午比早上先到 )
回答是:In the
dictionary(在字典里).
正如我们中国很多脑筋急转弯题目是在谐音上做文章一样,英语脑
筋急转弯也广泛采用了谐音(homonyms)和双关(puns),问此而答彼,
导致诙谐的效果.做这样的题目,需要对英语中的一词多义或一语双关
比较熟悉;也就是说,做这类题目,你还会增加更多的语言知识.让我
们再看两例:
stays hot even if put in a fridge (什么东西就是放在冰
箱里也是热的 )回答是:Pepper(辣椒).
side is the left
side of a pie (哪边是馅饼的左边)
回答是: The side that
is not eaten,yet.(还没有吃的那一边).
为什么这样回答
已经会心微笑的读者朋友会告诉还是一脸迷悯的
读者:①hot有两个意思:热的;辣的.用第二个意思去理解原题,答案
自然是pepper(辣椒)了;②the left side of a pie有两层意思:饼
的左边;饼剩下没吃的那一边.问题和回答也是利用了这两种截然不同
的意思.
在收集编译本书时,我们对各种语言难点,尤其是谐音双关都配有
注释和解答,使读者在开心阅读的同时积累英语知识,提高学习英语的
兴趣.本书适合于中学生,大学低年级学生及广大英语学习爱好者.编
译者水平有限,疏漏之处难免,敬请各位读者指正.
