一个人被锁在房间里，房间里只有一张床、一本日历和一架钢琴。他怎样喝，怎样吃，怎样出来？另外一个人被锁在一个只有一面镜子和一张桌子的房间里。他怎么出来？还有一个人，他被锁在空房间里。他怎么出来？

A

Thefirst man drank from the springs of the bed，ate the dates off the calendar and played the piano until he found the right key，which he used to unlock the door.The second man looked in the mirror to see what he saw.Then he took the saw and cut the table in half.Next，he put the two halves together to make a whole. Finally，he crawled out through the hole.The third man broke out with the measles.
第一个人喝床里的泉水，吃日历上的日期，弹钢琴直到他找到正确的钥匙，他就可以开锁出来了。第二个人往镜子里看，看到一把锯，他用锯把桌子锯成两半，再把桌子拼在一起，形成一个洞，他就可以从洞里爬出来了。第三个人生了麻疹从屋子里出来。

点睛一笔

本题涉及了很多一词多义的现象：spring（弹簧；泉水），date（日期；枣），key（琴键；钥匙），saw（看见；锯子）。同音词的现象：whole（整体）和hole（洞）；一些词组的使用：eat off（吃掉），break out（向外打破门；突发）。
