发帖数: 216 | 1 最近，国外社交网站上一道题目火了，难倒了一众歪果仁，火爆程度不亚于当年“蓝黑”的还是“白金”的裙子……
这道题江湖人称“特蕾莎女儿之谜”，谜面其实很简单，就是有点……绕……
来看题：
"If Teresa's daughter is my daughter's mother, what am I to Teresa?"
如果特蕾莎的女儿是我的女儿的妈妈，那我是特蕾莎的谁？
题目还给了5个选项：
a) Grandmother 外婆
b) Mother 妈妈
c) Daughter 女儿
d) Granddaughter 外孙女
e) I am Teresa. 我是特蕾莎
对亲属关系本来就没有分太清的国外网友都被绕晕了……
Kayla：我、妈妈和麦克三个人刚花了10分钟来解这道“特蕾莎女儿之谜”。
Nick Soldan：如果特蕾莎的女儿是我女儿的妈妈，特蕾莎是我的什么？真是个谜啊！解不开！求助！！！
特蕾莎是谁？！！
特蕾莎的女儿是谁？！！
特蕾莎女儿的妈妈又是谁？？？！！
大概觉得这道题太难，BuzzFeed给出了题目的解题关键……
我女儿的妈妈（my daughter's mother）……其实，就是我呀！
这样一来，这道题就变成了：如果特蕾莎的女儿是我，那我是特蕾莎的什么？（If Teresa's daughter is me, what am I to Teresa?）
显而易见，这道题选C，女儿（daughter）。
你是不是也恍然大悟？
什么？你说一道不过瘾？双语君（微信ID：Chinadaily_Mobile）精选了一套题，看看你能做对几道？答案在图片下面，没读完题不许偷看哦~~
几个女儿
a. I have ten or more daughters.
b. I have less than ten daughters.
c. I have at least one daughter.
If only one of these statements is true, how many daughters do I have?
a. 我有十个或者更多女儿。
b. 我有少于十个女儿。
c. 我至少有一个女儿。
如果三个陈述中只有一个是真的，那么我有多少个女儿？
答案：
I do not have any daughters and the true statement is: I have less than ten daughters.
我没有女儿。唯一真实的陈述是：我有少于十个女儿。
因为如果我有女儿，那么就一定有两个陈述为真，因此，答案是我没有女儿。
三个医生
Three doctors said that Robert was their brother. Robert said he had no brothers. Who is lying?
三个医生自称是罗伯特的兄弟，但罗伯特说他没有兄弟，请问谁在说谎？
答案：
Neither of them were lying. The doctors were his sisters.
他们都没有说谎。医生们是他的姐妹。
买和吃之谜
You buy it to eat, but you don’t eat it. What is it?
你买它是为了吃，但你却不吃它，请问这是什么东西？
答案：

冰茶
两个女孩一起喝冰茶，一个女孩喝了1杯的时间里，另一个女孩喝了5杯，但是：
The girl who drank one died while the other survived. However, all of the drinks that were served turned out to contain poison.
喝了一杯的女孩死了，但是喝5杯的却安然无恙。然而，女孩们喝的冰茶都被下了毒。
为什么活下来的是喝了5杯冰茶的女孩？
答案：
The poison was in the ice. When the girl drank the iced tea, the ice was still fully frozen. Gradually, as the ice cubes melted the poison was released into the drink.
毒在冰块里。当女孩喝冰茶的时候，冰块仍然完全是冻结的。但冰块渐渐融化，毒药就溶进了冰茶里。
