time fly,字面是“时间飞行”,实际是“时光流逝”

5.Why is the sun like a loaf of bread?

1．To see time fly. （ 为什么人会把钟丢出窗外？你如果回答是因为夫妻吵架而摔东西，那就落入俗套，没什么好笑。但回答To see time fly 看时光飞驰，你说妙不妙？）
2．A quarter to one. ( A quarter to one是 12：45，再一刻钟就到一点。另外一个意思是一人分四分之一。)
3.Your fingernail. （用 fingernail回答问句的 nail ，是在字形和字音上玩游戏其实nail的意思是钉子， fingernail的中文意思是指甲，根本是问非所答。
4．A boxing ring. (用A boxing ring回答问句的ring, 是在字形和字音上玩游戏。其实ring的意思是圆圈或指环，boxing ring 却是指拳赛场地。
5．Because it’s light when it rises. ( 答案就太阳而言，它升起的时候，很亮。答案就面包而言，它松起的时候，很轻。两个意思同属于一句英文之中，这就是答案的妙处。)
