　　燈謎***lantern riddles ***是指寫在彩燈上面的謎語。燈謎一般由三部分組成，即謎面、謎目***hint***和謎底。在燈謎中凡是謎面上有的字，在謎底中不能再出現。 燈謎裡充滿著智慧，因此猜謎底顯得很有趣，這也使得猜燈謎成為元宵節的一項不可缺少的活動。燈謎在中國源遠流長，可以毫不誇張地說，燈謎體現著中國人民無窮的智慧。

　　Lantern riddles are riddles that are written on the lanterns. Generally, a lantern riddle consists of three parts, namely the riddle, the hint and the answer.

Lantern riddles are full of wisdom, thus working out them can be much fun, which makes guessing riddles an essential part of the activities in the Lantern Festival. The lantern riddle has a long history in China, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a reflection of infinite wisdom of the Chinese people.

　　3.不可缺少的：可譯為essential或indispensable。其所在句其實包含了兩重因果關係，翻譯時，前面第一重因果關係可用簡單的thus來體現，後面可用which引導的非限制性定語從句來體現。

　　4.可以毫不誇張地說：有固定譯法，即it is no exaggeration to say。

　　5.體現著：根據漢語中多動詞而英語中多用名詞的習慣，可以把詞性轉譯成名詞，即 a reflection of...
