: 不过我觉得晒伤的企鹅真的挺好笑的,另外,只要是黑白相间的动物都可以拿来玩,
: embarassed zebra...bloody panda ......
: 只是在 google 找这句时,看到很多文章都拿这句来当标题,而且看起来是很正经
: 严肃的文章,不知道这句话还有什麽隐藏的含意。
Question–answer
Often posed as a common riddle, the answer is twisted humorously.
Q: What is black and white and read (red) all over?
A1: A newspaper. (The oldest and most common answer, because red
is also the pronunciation of read; this class of joke works
only when spoken aloud so that which homophone is meant is
misconstrued because of the inclusion of other colors. This
is also related to Word play.)
A2: An embarassed zebra. (This is funny primarily because most
people are familiar with the older joke and expect the
interpretation to be "read" rather than "red." It is one of
the most common "twist" answers, because it's one of the few
G-rated ones. See Why did the chicken cross the road? elsewhere
on this page for more instances of the same phenomenon.)
A3: A bloody skunk. (A penguin, a nun, or any likely wearer of a
tuxedo can also be used in place of a skunk. Also "sunburnt"
can be used in place of "bloody.")
A4: A blind nun trying to read a cheese grater. (This is a less
tasteful variant on A2.)
A5: A Goth on her period.
...and so on.
Of this type are knock-knock joke, lightbulb joke, grape joke,
Radio Yerevan, and some jokes of other types described here.
照这英文解释看来,的确就是在讲笑话,并不会很严肃啊。基本上这是一个
玩弄同音字的双关笑话。问题脑筋急转弯的关键字当然就在那个「read」跟
「red」听起来发音相同。
what is black and white and read (red) all over?
(译壹:什麽东西是黑白相间而且被广为阅读的?)
(译贰:什麽东西上头覆盖着黑白红三种颜色? )
第一种解读方式,答案是「报纸」。不过显然不会是指全彩印刷的苹果日报。
第二种解读方式,除了晒伤的企鹅,还有害羞的斑马、流血的臭鼬、月经来潮
时的歌德装扮少女等(上面原文中 A4 的「试着阅读削乳酪器的盲修女」我也
不解其意...orz)。嗯,还有猫熊。
问题问完之後,通常人们会有点半信半疑地回答「是报纸吗?」听到答案宣布
是「晒伤的企鹅」,虽然人们多半大概都会像 Michael 或 Walt 的反应一样:
「厚~这答案很蠢欸。」可是这种架构在既有制式答案上的变体趣味其实又蛮
可爱的。不是吗? :p
