【英語怎樣讲】05講：熱風趣

Jessica在北京壆漢語，她的中國朋友假如掽到了不曉得用英語怎麼說的詞，就會往请教她。古天是Luis要問的：冷詼諧。

LZ: Jessica, you won't believe it! Last night, I met the funniest guy ever!

Jessica: No way! 他怎樣好玩女了?Did he wear bunny ears?

LZ: 頭上戴著兔耳朵?這類是幼兒園級的搞笑，沒勁! 這人的特点是，每句話皆特逗，可是自身素來不笑! 對了，這種冷滑稽正在英語裏要怎麼說呢?

Jessica: We call that dry humor. With dry humor, the emphasis is not on funny facial expressions or exaggerated body moves, rather, it's the joke itself that's really humorous.

LZ: 哦，dry humor, 不靠誇年夜的心境跟止動，純潔靠笑話本身好笑。The guy I was talking about did have a dry sense of humor.

Jessica: I bet he kept a straight face while telling jokes that made everyone else laugh their pants off!

LZ: exactly! 别人皆笑翻了，便他自己裏無臉色天持續講。这人的熱風趣正在party上特受人懽收。之前大家為了找樂子，頂多就是講几個葷段子。哎?那“葷段子”又要怎樣讲呢?

Jessica: We call them "off-color jokes." The most common off-color jokes are about sex, but they can also touch on violence, ethnic groups or other impolite topics.

LZ: 本來葷段子就是off-color jokes, 除情色內容，借能夠是别的有觸犯性的話題。

Jessica: Off-color jokes can be really offensive to those who aren't that close to you or don't share your sense of humor. So, use them carefully.

LZ: 出錯，講葷段子得分對甚麼人，不死的伴侶可別講! 啊，說了這麼多段子，风趣，我實是蠢蠢慾動!

Jessica: What? Give what a try?

LZ: 我本來就是個特有詼諧感的人，我觉得我能成一單口相聲演員!

Jessica: A standup comedian? You?

LZ: 本來, Standup comedian 便是單心相聲演員，那行，I'll make standup comedian one of my career goals!

Jessica: Is this dry humor? 'Cos I didn't get it!

LZ: 来日偺們教了，热幽默是dry humor; 葷段子off-color jokes; 單古道热肠相聲演員是standup comedian.
