英语脑筋急转弯:一勺牛奶头上泼,闲暇时候喝掉我

Q

My fatherland is Arabia. Though in England they roast mebrown, I’m ground up inside a mill, and tortured with scalding water, and then they pour milk over me, and drink me at their leisure.
故乡远在阿拉伯,烤成棕色在英国,粉身碎骨在石磨,赴汤蹈火考验多,一勺牛奶头上泼,闲暇时候喝掉我。

A

Coffee.
咖啡。

点睛一笔

Arabia的意思是“阿拉伯”,这是咖啡的原产地。roast的意思是“烤,烘焙”。这个谜语用第一人称自述的手法道出谜面,最后一句则是点睛之笔,使人一下就猜出谜底是某种饮品。
