有没有英语的脑筋急转弯啊？

有些中文的翻译为英语就不行了。请大家说几个本来就是英语里的。谢谢！

Answer 1

（1） ---- Who is closer to you， your mom or your dad ? (爸爸和妈妈谁和你更近？）
—— Mom is closer because dad is father.
（2）---- What fruit is never found singly ? (什么水果永远不会是单个的？）
—— A pear.
（3）---- Why are young men unwilling to date the daughter of the Fortunes ? (年轻人为什么不愿意和福琼家女儿约会？）
—— Because she is Miss Fortune.

注: 以上脑筋急转弯泛采用了同音词（homonyms）:
（1）“father”（父亲）与“farther”（更远）
（2）“pear”（梨）音同“pair”（一对），
（3）“Miss Fortune”音同“misfortune”（不幸）

——Because he enjoyed cool music.

（6）What stays hot even if put it in a fridge?(什么东西即使放在冰箱里也热？）
——Pepper.

注: 以上脑筋急转弯大量运用了双关语（puns）：
（4）“matchless”既可理解为“没有火柴的”，又可理解为“举世无双的，无可匹敌的”；
（5）“cool”可表示“冷的、凉的”，也可指“棒、时髦、美妙的”；
（6）“hot”有两个意思：热、辣。�
