Q

The rich want it. The poor have it. If you eat it, you will die. What is it？
富人求它，穷人有它。若你吃它，死期将至。它是什么？

A

Nothing.
没什么。

点睛一笔

要解答这个题目，凭空死想是想不出来的，不妨把答案替换到题目里吧，因为it是nothing，所以就有了：The rich want nothing. The poor have nothing. If you eat nothing, you will die. 这句话也就变成了：富人别无所求。穷人一无所有。若你滴水不进，死期便已不远。这样就明白了吧？
