VOW,IT'S TOO DIFFICULTY TO ME

the sentence doesn't matter, the answer lies in the phrase "catch cold". In other words, cold moves slower so you can catch cold

Language study: In English, the phrase "catch cold" means someone is ill.

VOW,IT'S TOO DIFFICULTY TO ME
I even don't understand what the"Heat will always catch cold"means .

Don't worry, I yi kai shi ye bu dong~~So I used google and fa xian yuan lai this is nao jing ji zhuan wan~~

Then I used jin shan ci ba and fa xian "Which can move faster, heat or cold" means：哪丫跑得快点？热还是冷？
The da an is "Heat, because we can catch a cold" means:热，因为我们会感冒（鸟语里“catch a cold”有感冒的意思）。

Now do you understand? Next time wo men ke yi use baidu, zhi zhi wei zhi zhi, bu zhi bai du zhi~~

"What's the poorest bank in the world?" I zhao dao da an niao~~It is "Riverbank", ban zhu please gei wo jia fen~~Thank you very much~~

"What's the poorest bank in the world?"
"Riverbank", cuz the word bank has two meanings: 1) financial institutions; 2) the shore of river

作者: naughtybaby 时间: 18-6-2008 11:08
it has nothing to do with AM or PM, PM here refers to Prime Minister

The trick is within "succeed"

作者: naughtybaby 时间: 18-6-2008 11:09
put the question in another way, "who succeeded the 1st president of Australia"?

How come u win ALL the time???LOL

Language Study : The key is the word "succeed". It has 2 meanings:
1) to surpass or win somebody;
2) to follow someone as the next person

So who came after the 1st Prime Minister of Australia?

The 2nd Prime Minister!

Good qustion

Well, the reason for them being termed as RIDDLES is because that in general, these are Questions of GUESSING games in form of ordinary riddles, though they may actually appear like tricky-tricks

I intended to encourage more ppl to get to know some of the English usages through a fun way, and that's why I pointed out "language study" each and every time

Language Study:

The word "diamond" includes the following meanings :
1) Girl's BEST friend

---An extremely hard glittering jewelry~
2) A red, lozenge-shaped figure on certain playing cards.
...

Therefore U can ALWAYS see diamonds in playing cards etc~

作者: libai0915 时间: 22-6-2008 00:33
All the diamonds you have to see by your eyes. So the answer is "in your eyes"

作者: libai0915 时间: 22-6-2008 00:35
Another answer could be "world's largest diamond mine". LOL

作者: naughtybaby 时间: 3-7-2008 18:12
Well, I think it's time to uncover the secret, as no one yet has literally got the right answer

Where can you see the largest diamond in the whole world?

The answer is: a playing field for certain sports.

Language Study:

Diamond also means: the whole baseball playing field. Therefore, it is indeed the largest diamond
