在培养孩子英语兴趣时，游戏和谜语都是不可缺少的环节。今天我们就帮大家收集到一些寓教于乐的有趣谜语，和孩子来一次比赛吧，看看您和他们谁答出的多！
英文谜语Tkbey同中国谜语一样有着极其悠久的历史，其中最为有名的大概是斯芬克司之“谜”了。“斯芬克司”一词源自希腊语Sphinx，是希腊神话中一个可怕的怪物，它长着女人的头、狮子的身躯，身上还有两只翅膀。
传说中，狮身人面的女怪斯芬克司生性残酷无比，常常守在大路口，让过往的行人猜一个谜，猜错了就要被吃掉。有一次，一位国王的儿子被斯芬克司吃掉了，国王一怒之下，发出悬赏：“谁能把它制服，就给他王位。”青年俄狄浦斯（Oedipus）应召前去，很快就道破谜底，斯芬克司便自杀了。这个世界著名的谜语是：
What goes on four feet, on two feet, and three, but the more feet it goes on, the weaker it will be.
其谜底是Man. Because he crawls first, then walks on two feet, uses a cane when old. 因为人在婴儿时用四肢在地上爬行，成人后两腿行走，年老后拄拐杖走路，所以谜底是“人”。 这个谜语还可以这样说：What goes on four legs at dawn, two at noon, and three at dusk?
