what goes on four legs at dawn, two at noon, and three at dusk? 该个谜语还可以这样说：
谜语采用了描写其特征的方法，英语中这种谜语被称为事物谜，也叫做描述性谜语(descriptive riddles)。事物谜的谜面通常是用比喻、暗示或其他方法来描绘所猜谜底的特征，和汉语中物谜的谜面构成及猜测方法基本相同。
2)what starts with t，ends with t and full of t？谜底是“a teapot”。teapot(茶壶)一词以字母t开头和结尾，而茶壶里装的自然是茶(tea)，所以是full of t。3)the longest word in the world.谜底是“smiles”。这个单词的首字母和尾字母之间是单词“mile”(英里)，可以理解为首尾间有一英里长，自然就是世界上最长的单词了。猜这个字谜时，千万不要去翻词典去找一个字母最多的单词。2)what is the cheapest way to see the world？ 谜底是“buy an atlas”。买一张地图(buy an atlas)就可以见到整个世界(see the world)了。而其实see the world作为一个固定词组时的意思是“见多识广”。有些貌似简单，谜底却耐人寻味。如：
what goes up and never goes down？谜底是“age”。年龄是永远向上增长，不可能下降的。还有一些则语出惊人，出人意料，细细品味倒也幽默风趣，让人哑然失笑。例如：
why should you never marry a tennis player？ 谜底是“because love means nothing to them”。love的通用义是“爱情”，在网球比赛中则表示“零分”。
英文智力谜语中有一类比较难猜，这类谜语是通过篡改英语谚语、成语或名句而形成的，要猜出这些谜语就必须对这些谚语、成语了如指掌，否则，就是绞尽脑汁也未必能猜中。略举例说明一下：
1)why shouldnt you cry if a cow slips on the ice? 谜底是“because its no use crying over spilt milk.” 英语中成语“覆水难收”是这样表达的：“its no use crying over spilt milk.”所以谜底就用成语作一戏言，因为母牛摔在地上，它身上的牛奶也洒了。2)whats a sculptors motto? 谜底是“all work and no clay makes jack a dull boy.”
雕塑师(sculptor)的格言all work and no clay makes jack a dull boy.(只工作没有土，聪明孩子也变傻。)是模仿谚语all work and no play makes jack a dull boy.(只工作不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻。)杜撰而来。英语100题 简单题
