There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece, and medieval writings are filled with jokes. While these same jokes might not be as funny to us

13、now as they were then, their authors understood that humour could not only entertain but also throw new light on sensitive or emotive issues. 数千年来，幽默一直是人类行为的重要组成部分。古希腊的文字中记载有喜剧，而 中世纪的作品中也常常出现笑话。 虽然那些笑话对现在的我们来说可能不像当时那 么有趣，但是它们的作者明白，幽默不仅娱乐大众，而且可以使人们对敏感问题或 有争议的问题产生新的认识。 2 Closer to modern times, someon

14、e who is remembered for his ability to combine humour with more serious messages is American writer, Mark Twain. Twains particular style of writing is funny and often mischievous.

Twains response was, “Thats just my luck. I always have to stand when that fellow lectures!” 到了近现代，美国作家马克吐温因擅长用幽默的方式表达严肃的

17、内容而著称。吐 温独特的写作风格幽默风趣，而且常常带有调侃意味。例如，在他的经典小说汤 姆索耶历险记中有一句名言“写作很容易，你要做的就是把错误的单词划掉。” 他日常与人交流中的诙谐言论同样出名。比如，有一次在美国做巡回演讲时，马克 吐温走进一家理发店去理发和刮脸。理发师没有认出他来，问他有没有这场演讲 的门票，马克吐温说没有。理发师告诉他，如果他想去听演讲就只能站着了，因 为剧院里已经没有座位了。马克吐温回答说：“真倒霉。只要那个家伙演讲，我总 是要站着！” 3 Like Twain, but on the other side of the world, Lin Yutang was so

19、day. 和马克吐温类似，在世界的另一端，林语堂很快也因其独特的幽默风格而闻名。 作为著名的双语作家，林语堂将幽默的概念引入了中国现代文学。1924 年，他创 造性地借用古汉语中的“幽默”作为英文单词“humour”的翻译。今天，“幽默”一词仍 在以这种方式被人们使用。 4 Lins quick wit helped make him famous as a master of humour.

21、r. Again, the man whispered in the tigers ear. The tiger looked shocked and hurried away. “What did you say to my animals?” said the emperor, astonished. “I told them they had to make a speech after eating me for dinner.” Lins audience roared with laughter. With this little joke, Lin was able to mak

22、e people laugh, while gently telling off the president. 林语堂的机智使他成为著名的幽默大师。有一次，他被邀请去一所大学吃晚饭，当 校长突然让他做演讲时，他感到很为难。林语堂急中生智，开始讲述一个残忍的罗 马皇帝试图把一个人喂给野兽的故事。 首先来了一头狮子， 那人对狮子耳语了几句， 狮子摇了摇头，不高兴地走开了。然后来了一只老虎，那人又对老虎耳语了几句， 老虎看起来很震惊， 急忙跑开了。 “你对我的动物们说了什么？” 皇帝惊讶地说道。 “我告诉它们，把我作为晚饭吃掉后，它们必须要演讲一番。” 林语堂的听众们哄 堂大笑。通过这个小笑话，林语

23、堂既能让大家哈哈大笑，同时也委婉地表达了对校 长的不满。 5 Both Twain and Lin understood that humour isnt just about laughter, but is a way of life and a tool that can be used to illuminate the world. Lin even created an equation to explain this concept: Reality + Dreams + Humour = Wisdom. Living and working with others can so

24、metimes be complicated, and humour makes this easier. Sharing jokes and laughing together can bring individuals and even communities together. Indeed, some may argue that our need for humour is almost as great as our need for water and air. In the words of Mark Twain, “Humor is mankinds greatest blessing”. 马克吐温和林语堂都明白，幽默不仅仅能带来笑声，它还是一种生活方式，是一 种可以用来阐明世界的工具。 林语堂甚至还创造了一个公式来解释他的理念： 现实 +梦想+幽默=智慧。和其他人在一起生活和工作有时候并不是一件容易的事，而幽 默可以让事情变得更简单。 一起讲笑话、 一起欢笑可以使不同的个体甚至是团体凝 聚在一起。 事实上， 有些人甚至会认为我们对幽默的需求几乎与我们对水和空气的 需求一样强烈。用马克吐温的话来说：“幽默是人类头等的幸事。”
