几个英语谜语，超难

what country is popular on thanksgiving day?
what country is useful at mealtime
which runs faster heat or cold
what bird is essential to eating

Answer 1

这种谜语有点像汉语里的“脑筋急转弯”，一词多义常常是关键。
Why is a river rich? 答案：Because it has two banks. “因为它拥有两家银行（歧义：两条河岸）。”这是个双关语谜语。

What country is popular on thanksgiving day? 答案：土耳其。因为Turkey（土耳其）的小写是turkey（火鸡），而火鸡是感恩节的传统主菜。

What country is useful at mealtime?答案：中国。因为中国China（中国）的小写是china（瓷器），而瓷器是用餐时必需的。

Which runs faster, heat or cold? 答案：heat。Because you can catch a cold and you can’t catch a heat .
What bird is essential to eating? 答案：swallow（燕子）。因为swallow的另外一个意思是“吞咽”。
