英语谜语可以分为两类，一类与汉语民间谜语一样，用几句话描述一样事物，然后要求

猜射；另一类谜面短小，运用单词结构及双关谐音等手法巧妙答问。

1. 物谜：从某种意义而言，可以把中国的物谜翻译成英语猜射，反之亦然，通过翻

译，不影响谜底。如：

One lives on one side，
The other on the other side，
They hear what you say，
But they does not see each other。

比较一下汉语中的谜语：

左一片，
右一片，
长到老，
不见面。

有异曲同工之妙！谜底皆为耳朵（ear）。又如：

It is so weak，
That a little wind can move it，
It is so strong，
That you can cut it with a knife and leave no trace。
（ key：water）

2. 问答谜：用问答形式利用单词结构，语音语义等技巧，得出答案。常见的有：

1) 谐音语义型(双关型)，这是最常见的一类。
