1 A boxing ring. (用A boxing ring回答问句的ring, 是在字形和字音上玩游戏.其实ring的意思是圆圈或指环,boxing ring 却是指拳赛场地.
10．Because it’s light when it rises. ( 答案就太阳而言,它升起的时候,很亮.答案就面包而言,它松起的时候,很轻.两个意思同属于一句英文之中,这就是答案的妙处.)
2 To see time fly. （ 为什么人会把钟丢出窗外?你如果回答是因为夫妻吵架而摔东西,那就落入俗套,没什么好笑.但回答To see time fly 看时光飞驰,你说妙不妙?）
3 A quarter to one. ( A quarter to one是 12：45,再一刻钟就到一点.另外一个意思是一人分四分之一.)
4 Your fingernail. （用 fingernail回答问句的 nail ,是在字形和字音上玩游戏其实nail的意思是钉子, fingernail的中文意思是指甲,根本是问非所答.
5 Because it’s light when it rises. ( 答案就太阳而言,它升起的时候,很亮.答案就面包而言,它松起的时候,很轻.两个意思同属于一句英文之中,这就是答案的妙处.)
