英语脑筋急转弯

㈠ 关于英语的脑筋急转弯

一、Q：What question can you never answer 'yes' to?

A：'Are you asleep?'

这句话可能还有其他答案，不过这一个肯定是经典之一。因为绝对没有人在睡着后还能回答“你睡着了吗？”这个问题的。

二、Q：When were the Middle Ages?

A：Between the ones that came before and the ones that came after.

Middle Ages本来是指欧洲历史上的中世纪（约AD500－－AD1500年）。但答案却巧妙运用了middle（中间的）的含义：中间的年代就是处于以前年代和以后年代之间的年代。

三、Q：Why were the Middle Ages called the Dark Ages?

A：There were more knights in those days.

Dark Ages本来是指欧洲中世纪早期的“黑暗时代”，而Middle Ages（中世纪）正是以骑士（knights）著称的时代。答案借助了knights和nights（夜晚）读音相同的特点，而且night和dark也相互呼应，非常巧妙。

(1)英语脑筋急转弯扩展阅读：

脑筋急转弯最早起源于古印度。脑筋急转弯是由时报文化于1989年12月06日发行的一系列单篇漫画笑话全集，由前一页漫画式的问题到翻过面后出人意料的答案。造成当时台湾社会极大的流行热潮，大街小巷都在互相询问脑筋急转弯，演变至已经成为一种冷笑话的模式了，后传入中国大陆的。

这种文字游戏有个明显的特点，题面很普通，但答案十分气人或十分搞笑，有时，会起到间接骂人的作用。一经破解，令人喷饭。所以问问脑筋急转弯在party上也有调节气氛的作用，还有以下八大好处：

1．开发智力

2．激活脑细胞，让大脑得到锻炼

3．提高想象力

4．防止老年性痴呆

5．活跃气氛（一个好的脑筋急转弯能拉两个人的距离）

6．拓展知识面（很多都是带有典故的）

7．提高幽默感（可加入非特别正规的演讲中）

8．打破惯性思维 (可有不同见解)

㈡ 英语脑筋急转弯（不要笑话 用英语作答）

1 Friday,
2 hotdog,
3 piano keys,
4 when you are on a horse,
5 teapot
6 cuz cold is with the old(牵着个老人)
7 cola, tea, alcohol
8 water,
9 when it is blue,(色情，该叫dirty books)
10 birds can't walk
11 it is sunny(或者说beach umbrella遮阳伞)
12 they both have an “s”
13 age

㈢ 求找有关英语智力题大全（趣味翻译，脑筋急转弯等）越多越好！

1、Why is the letter E so important?
答案：Because letter E is the beginning of everything
解析：为什么字母E非常重要
因为字母E是“所有事情”(everything)的开始(字母)
2、Why are the letter G and letter S in "gloves" close to each other?
答案：Because there is love between them.
解析：在单词gloves中，为什么字母G和字母S那么亲近?
因为是g love s .她们中间有一个love
3、How can you make a rope shorter without cutting or winding it?
答案：Take a longer rope and compare with it
解析：不剪，不卷，不折，怎么才能使一根绳子变短呢?
拿一根长一点的绳子和它做比较就行了!
4、What does everybody do at the same time?
答案：grow old
解析：所有人在同样的时间都在做的一件事是什么?
有的人会答：呼吸，心跳，但是都不严密
只有“变老”是没有任何办法可以阻止的。
5、Who works only one day in a year but never gets fired?
答案：Santa Claus
解析：这题关键要理解词组get fired的意思
谁一年只工作一天，但是却永远不会被解雇呢?
当然是“圣诞老人”。
6、How can you make 6 out of three 7s、
答案：7-7/7=6
解析：其实这是一道简单的数学题，关键是要把题目看懂
怎样才能从三个7中得到6.
7、How can you make 1000 out of eight 8s
第九题其实是同样的道理，怎么从8个8中得出1000
答案：8+8+8+88+888=1000
8、A police officer had a brother ,but the brother had no brother.How could that be?
解析：这题主要是要打破常规思维，看见police officer,我们都会往男人去想，但是，其实为了男女平等，英文当中已经用police officer 来代替polieman和policewoman了。所以，男女，都可以称作police officer. 这样就好理解了，一个Police officer 有一个brother, 但是这个brother 却没有brother，为什么呐?因为这个brother有个sister.
