bad British consider fun hope pleasure power they total understand we win |
Is it true that we British people have a different sense of humor from people in other countries? Let's have a look at what we laugh at in .
To us British people, and important people often cause laughter. It's not just politicians (政客) who make us laugh, but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes too seriously.
We laugh at the power, but also, pitifully, at anyone who is treated . We know they cannot win, but if they do win sometimes, it's even . Our clowns (小丑) are often silly people doing silly things, while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things-and at last.
The fact that we laugh when other people might feel is one of the strangest things to learn about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). After some terrible experience, we might say, "Not very ." And we might say in the middle of a typhoon, "It's a bit windy today." Or "There is a tiny problem," when something has gone wrong. We don't like to express strong feelings, but just "keep calm and carry on".
Another things that can make it difficult British humor is that we don't always laugh or even smile when we say something funny. We often keep a straight face or use an unsmiling expression when we're making a joke.
Do you think the British sense of humor is special?
