Lantern riddles are riddles that were written on the lanternsthat are displayed during the Chinese Lantern Festival or Chinesemiddle autumn festival and so on.
燈謎是中國(guó)元宵節(jié)或中秋節(jié)寫在燈籠上的謎語(yǔ)。
People in the festival must guess the answer from a word,apoem or a phrase, guessing the riddles is as hard as fighting witha tiger, so that lantern riddles have another name - 'lanterntigers'.
人們必須從一個(gè)字、一首詩(shī)或是一個(gè)短語(yǔ)猜出答案。猜燈謎和打老虎一樣難,所以燈謎有一個(gè)別名——燈虎。
下面小編整理了英文版燈謎,一起來玩耍吧!
