英語(yǔ)腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎
前言
在英語(yǔ)國(guó)家中,有不少類似于我們中國(guó)人愛(ài)做著玩兒的腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎
問(wèn)答題。這些問(wèn)題要么非常尋常而回答出其不意;要么非常古怪而回答
笨拙老實(shí),但都能達(dá)到讓人會(huì)心一笑的效果。笑過(guò)之余,你還會(huì)對(duì)自己
的思維定勢(shì)有所意識(shí),所以做這類問(wèn)答題,不僅會(huì)讓人輕松好笑,同時(shí)
也鍛煉了我們思維的靈活性。
試試下面兩道題:
1.When can you go as fast as a racing car?..
(什么時(shí)候你能像跑車一樣快?)回答是:When you’re in it.(當(dāng)
你坐在跑車?yán)锏臅r(shí)候。)
2.Where does afternoon come before morning in the world?(世
界上哪個(gè)地方下午比早上先到?)
回答是:In the dictionary(在字典里)。
正如我們中國(guó)很多腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎題目是在諧音上做文章一樣,英語(yǔ)腦
筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎也廣泛采用了諧音(homonyms)和雙關(guān)(puns),問(wèn)此而答彼,
導(dǎo)致詼諧的效果。做這樣的題目,需要對(duì)英語(yǔ)中的一詞多義或一語(yǔ)雙關(guān)
比較熟悉;也就是說(shuō),做這類題目,你還會(huì)增加更多的語(yǔ)言知識(shí)。讓我
們?cè)倏磧衫?/div>
1.What stays hot even if put in a fridge?(什么東西就是放在冰
箱里也是熱的?)回答是:Pepper(辣椒)。
2.Which side is the left side of a pie?(哪邊是餡餅的左邊)?
回答是: The side that is not eaten,yet.(還沒(méi)有吃的那一邊)。
為什么這樣回答?已經(jīng)會(huì)心微笑的讀者朋友會(huì)告訴還是一臉迷憫的
讀者:①hot 有兩個(gè)意思:熱的;辣的。用第二個(gè)意思去理解原題,答案
自然是pepper(辣椒)了;②the left side of a pie 有兩層意思:餅
的左邊;餅剩下沒(méi)吃的那一邊。問(wèn)題和回答也是利用了這兩種截然不同
的意思。
在收集編譯本書(shū)時(shí),我們對(duì)各種語(yǔ)言難點(diǎn),尤其是諧音雙關(guān)都配有
注釋和解答,使讀者在開(kāi)心閱讀的同時(shí)積累英語(yǔ)知識(shí),提高學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的
興趣。本書(shū)適合于中學(xué)生、大學(xué)低年級(jí)學(xué)生及廣大英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)愛(ài)好者。編
譯者水平有限,疏漏之處難免,敬請(qǐng)各位讀者指正。
