　　谜语和绕口令是英语文学中两种比较独特的语言艺术形式。前者既饶有情趣，又可以启发心智，增进思考和想像能力；后者结构巧妙，诙谐风趣，富有音乐性，最适合口头背诵，深受广大英语读者的喜爱。
英语谜语是讲英语国家的人民从小耳濡目染的一种文艺形式。熟悉这些谜语，对于了解这些国家人民的风俗习惯、心理气质，特别是掌握语言的多变性大有帮助。而绕口令和一般文学作品不同的是，它有一个特殊的功能：能够帮助人们锻炼口才，矫正发音，提高说话能力。我们常见许多英语老师将它用作训练学生口齿敏捷的教材；许多话剧、曲艺演员和播音员将它用作练好口才基本功的工具。
英语学习者可以通过英语谜语和绕口令在轻松的文娱活动中学到很多有用的词语和各种表达方式，练就纯正、流畅的英语口语。这正是我们编写本书的目的和进行解读的理由。
本书从最近几年美国出版的近百册读物中精选了趣味盎然的谜语和绕口令。谜语按其题材性质及语意分类编排；绕口令按其训练的目标分类，并把每则绕口令训练目标作为标题。这些选材富有生活气息，寓意深刻，我们坚信本书对广大读者大有裨益。
