1.Why did the person throw a clock out the window?
- to see time fly
time fly,字面是“时间飞行”,实际是“时光流逝”
2.What time is it when a pie is divided among four friends?
- 12:45 (即 a quarter to one)
a quarter to one 是一点钟差一刻的意思,但也可以看成是一人拿1/4
3.What nail should you never hit with a hammer?
- fingernail
4.What ring is square?
- boxing ring (拳击圈)
5.Why is the sun like a loaf of bread?
- Because it’s light when it rises.
双关：如果是太阳,就是说,升起的时候天就亮了
如果是面包,rise 是发的意思,也就是说,面包发起来的时候会变得很轻
6.What is the difference between here and there?
The letter “t”.( there 去掉“t”,跟 here 这个字就没什么两样.)
7.What are the strongest days of the week?
Saturday and Sunday --- all the other days are weak (week) days.
( weak与 week的发音一样.而美国人的工作天只有五天,即从 Monday到 Friday ,这五天是他们的week days.)
8.Why did the man put wheels on his rocking chair?
Because he wanted to rock and roll.（ to rock and roll是跳摇滚舞.但在这儿,摇rock 的是rocking chair,滚 roll的是 wheels.这就造成了一句双关的趣味.）
9.Why is the letter "R" like Christmas?
Because it comes at the end of December.
(对这句话而言,答案的意思是R这个字母正好排在December的末尾.除此以外,答案还有一个意思,Christmas在the end of December的时候到来.换言之,答案也造成了一句双关的趣味.）
10.What time of day was Adam born?
Just before Eve.( Eve 是一语双关,一是解“晚间”,一是解“夏娃”.)
