雅思口语Part1范文答案解析：Puzzles 解谜
由于文化差异，一些同学可能对puzzle一词的理解比较局限。剑桥字典中的解释为A puzzle is a game or toy in which you have to fit separate pieces together, or a problem or question which you have to answer by using your kill or knowledge。按照这个定义，除了拼图之外，数独、填词、鲁班锁、华容道、字谜、灯谜等等都可以算作谜题。大家在回答的时候不妨思维稍微发散一些。
Did you do puzzles in your childhood? 你小的时候解谜吗？
Yes, I did. My parents believed solving puzzles was a good way to stimulate my intellectual development and thus bought me a lot of puzzles in my childhood, such as the Rubik, jigsaw, and crossword. They even stipulated the time I should spend solving puzzles every day.
是的， 我会的。我父母认为解谜是种刺激智力发育的良好方式，并因此在我小时候给我买了很多智力玩具，比如魔方、拼图和填词游戏。他们甚至规定我每天应该在解谜上花费的时间。
When do you do puzzles, during your trip or when you feel bored? 你会在什么时候解谜，旅途中还是感到无聊的时候？
I should say both. While I am on a trip, I prefer puzzles with a stable structure, like the Rubik, so that the constant swing and bump will not interrupt my solving process. By contrast, I will choose jigsaws or crossword if I feel bored at home. They need a quiet environment and consume more time.
两者都会。当我在旅途之中的时候，我更喜欢拥有稳定结构的谜题，比如魔方，以便持续不断的摇晃和颠簸不会干扰到我的解谜过程。相比之下，如果我在家觉得无聊的话，我会选择拼图或者填词。它们需要安静的环境，能够消耗更多的时间，
Do you like doing word puzzles or number puzzles? Which is more difficult for you? 你喜欢字谜还是数独？哪一种对你更难一些？
Number puzzles. As a man who does not enjoy reading, I often find word puzzles beyond my capability. I mean, sometimes, because of the limitation of my lexical resources, I can be stuck on a puzzle for a whole afternoon. This article is from laokaoya website. As for number puzzles, I can always find a way out as long as I know basic arithmetic.
数字谜题。作为一个不喜欢阅读的人，我总是觉得字谜超出了我的能力。我的意思是，由于词汇量有限，我有时候会在一个谜题上卡一下午。至于数字谜题，只要我知道基本的数学运算，我就总能找到解决方法。
Do you think it is good for old people to do puzzles? 解谜对老年人有好处吗？
Yes, I do. It can help senior citizens eliminate boredom and have quality time while they are alone. But more importantly, solving puzzles can stimulate the brain, slow down its degradation, and significantly lower the risk of dementia.
是的，我认为如此。它能够帮助老年人在独处的时候消除无聊，享受一些品质时光。但更重要的是，解谜能够刺激大脑，减缓其退化，并显著降低老年痴呆的风险。
