Задача

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Вербицкая, Камине Д.Карр, Парсонс 11 класс, Просвещение: 1 Bob and Carol and Romeo and Juliet all live in the same house. Bob and Carol go out to a movie, and when they return, Romeo is lying dead on the floor of the living room. There is some broken glass and spilt water around him. It is obvious that Juliet killed him, but she is not severely punished. Why is that?
2 A man walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman took out a gun and pointed it at him. The man said ‘Thank you’ and walked out. Why?

Part 1
John: Right, remember, you only have ten points and you lose one for each clue you ask for. So who wants to start? You Dan — or Louise?
Dan: Well, it’s pretty obvious to me! The barman can’t have liked the look of the man. He must have been suspicious of him. So he pointed the gun at him to make him go away.
Louise: No, it couldn’t have been that. It’s too obvious. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a riddle!
Dan: OK, but we have to eliminate the obvious stuff first, don’t we? The man must have been thirsty or he wouldn’t have asked for some water. He might have just walked across the desert and was dying for a drink …
Louise: Well, that’s a bit far-fetched — and it doesn’t explain the gun …
Dan: But the man might have looked terrible — dirty and sunburnt! The barman could have been scared — so he took out his gun …
Louise: Yes, but why did the man say ‘Thank you’ and leave? He didn’t even drink the water, as far as we know.
Dan: Yes, you’re right. Ah, I know! The barman may have recognised him from the newspapers. Maybe he was an escaped criminal or something …
Louise: Yes, that’s a possibility. But if he was a wanted man, he wouldn’t just walk into a bar — in public, would he?
Dan: Well, he might not have known his photo was in the papers …
Louise: Mmm, it still doesn’t explain why the man said ‘Thank you’. I think we’re a bit lost. Let’s ask John for a clue, shall we?
Dan: Yeah, OK.
4 Think Back! Look at the underlined modals + perfect infinitives referring to the past in sentences a-g and match them to definitions 1-3.
a The barman can’t have liked the look of the man.
b No, it couldn’t have been that. It’s too obvious.
c The man must’ve been thirsty or he wouldn’t have asked for some water.
d He might’ve just walked across the desert and was dying for a drink.
e The barman could’ve been scared, so he took out his gun.
f The barman may have recognised him from the newspapers.
g He might not have known his photo was in the papers.

Подробный ответ

Ответ

1 — Because Juliet is a cat. She killed Romeo by knocking over the glass of water, and the broken glass and spilled water are clues.

2 — Because the man had hiccups. The barman pointed the gun at him to scare him, and the man said “Thank you” because the hiccups stopped.

Разбор

В риддлах нужно искать не прямой, а неожиданный смысл. В первом случае «Juliet» — это не человек, а кошка. Во втором случае мужчина просил воду не потому, что хотел пить, а чтобы избавиться от икоты.
