The Importance of Humour
Humour has been an essential part of human behaviour① for thousands of years. There is comedy in the texts of Ancient Greece, and medieval② writings are filled with③ jokes. While these same jokes might not be as funny to us now as they were then, their authors understood that humour could not only entertain but also throw new light on④ sensitive or emotive⑤ issues⑥.
as...as...结构,其中第二个as引导比较状语从句。
Closer to modern times, someone who is remembered for⑦ his ability to combine humour with⑧ more serious messages is American writer, Mark Twain. Twain's particular style of writing is funny and often mischievous⑨. For example, in his classic⑩ novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, he famously says, “Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out⑪ the wrong words.” But he is equally well known for his witty remarks⑫ in his everyday interactions⑬ with people. For instance, while on a lecturing tour of the United States,
Twain went into a barber's shop⑭ to get a haircut and a shave⑮. The barber, not recognising⑯ him, asked if he had a ticket to the lecture. When Twain replied that he didn't, the barber told him that if he wanted to go to the event he would have to stand, as there were no seats left in the theatre. Twain's response⑰ was, “That's just my luck⑱. I always have to stand when that fellow⑲ lectures⑳!”
该句中“you have to do”是定语从句,修饰先行词all。由于修饰主语的定语从句中含有实义动词do,所以作表语的动词不定式to cross out可省略不定式符号to。
“连词+介词短语”结构,while在此意为“在……期间”。
v.-ing短语作原因状语,recognise与the barber之间为逻辑上的主谓关系。
when引导条件状语从句,表示“只要”。
Like Twain, but on the other side of the world, Lin Yutang was soon to become famous for his unique brand of humour㉑. A well-known bilingual㉒ writer, Lin brought the concept of㉓ humour to modern Chinese literature. In 1924, he creatively borrowed “youmo” from Ancient Chinese as the translation for the English word “humour”. “Youmo” is still being used in this way today.
动词不定式短语作表语,构成“be to do”结构,表示注定要发生的事情。
Lin's quick wit helped make him famous as a master㉔ of humour. Once, having been invited to dinner at a university, he was put on the spot㉕ when the president suddenly asked him to give a speech. Thinking on his feet㉖, Lin started to tell a story about a cruel㉗ Roman emperor who tried to feed a man to wild animals㉘. First came a lion. The man whispered㉙ something in the lion's ear, after which the lion shook its head and walked away unhappily 10 . Then along came a tiger. Again, the man whispered in the tiger's ear.
The tiger looked shocked and hurried away㉚. “What did you say to my animals?” said the emperor, astonished㉛ 11 . “I told them they had to make a speech after eating me for dinner.” Lin's audience roared with laughter㉜. With this little joke, Lin was able to make people laugh, while gently㉝ telling off㉞ the president.
v.-ing短语作时间状语,此处被邀请吃晚饭的动作发生在被要求作演讲之前,所以用v.-ing的完成被动形式。
v.-ing短语作状语。
此处和下文中的“Then along came a tiger.”都是全部倒装句。
10 “介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,which指代前面主句的内容。
11 形容词作伴随状语,表示主语the emperor的状态。
Both Twain and Lin understood that humour isn't just about laughter, but is a way of life and a tool that can be used to illuminate㉟ the world. Lin even created an equation㊱ to explain this concept:Reality+Dreams+Humour=Wisdom㊲. Living and working with others can sometimes be complicated㊳, and humour makes this easier. Sharing jokes and laughing together can bring individuals and even communities together㊴. Indeed, some may argue that our need for humour is almost as great as our need for water and air. In the words of ㊵ Mark Twain, “Humor is mankind's greatest blessing”.
幽默的重要性
数千年来,幽默一直是人类行为的重要组成部分。古希腊的文字记载中有喜剧,笑话也常常出现在中世纪的作品当中。虽然对现在的我们来说,这些同样的笑话可能没有它们在中世纪的时候那么有趣,但它们的作者明白,幽默不只是一种娱乐的方式,它还可以使人们对敏感问题或易引起激烈争论的问题产生新的认识。
到了近现代,美国作家马克·吐温因能将幽默和更严肃的信息相结合而著称。他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·索亚历险记》中,他有一句名言:“写作很容易,你只需要把错误的单词划掉就行。”但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的时候,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,问他有没有这场演讲的门票。当马克·吐温回答说没有时,理发师告诉他,如果他想去听演讲就只能站着了,因为剧院里没有多余的座位了。马克·吐温回答说:“真倒霉。只要那个家伙演讲,我总是要站着!”
和马克·吐温一样,在世界的另一端,林语堂很快也因其独具一格的幽默而出名。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”一词作为英文单词“humour”的翻译。今天,“幽默”一词仍在以这种方式被人们使用。
林语堂的机智使他成了著名的幽默大师。有一次,他被邀请去一所大学参加晚宴,当校长突然要求他做演讲时,他感到很尴尬。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。那人在狮子耳边低声说了些什么,之后,狮子摇摇头,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。“我告诉它们,把我作为晚餐吃掉后,它们必须演讲一番。”林语堂的听众们哄堂大笑。通过这个小笑话,林语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。
幽默不仅仅是笑声,它还是一种生活方式,是一种可以用来阐明世界的工具,马克·吐温和林语堂都明白这一点。林语堂甚至还创造了一个公式来解释这个理念:现实+梦想+幽默=智慧。与其他人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。”

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The next time you catch yourself smiling during a phone conversation, just ask the person on the other end whether they're smiling, too. According to a small study from cognitive science (认知科学) researchers in Paris, it is likely that when one person smiled, the other “heard” it, and then mimicked (模仿) the gesture. In other words, not only do smiles have a sound, but they're also contagious.
Smiles, as we all know, are a universal human signal. They are understood across cultures, as a professor of psychology at Knox College in Illinois, once explained to Scientific American.“People who are born blind smile in the same way as the sighted, and for the same reasons,” he said. Scientists in the UK found that people don't even need to see a smile to sense it. We can pick out the sound of different types of smiles when merely listening to someone speak. Now, this research suggests that not only can we identify what the study authors call “the smile effect” in speech, but we can also identify that it seems to come from an unconscious (无意识的) level.
To conduct their experiments, the Paris researchers first created software that adds a smile to any recorded voice. They then fitted 35 people with electrodes (电极) attached to their facial muscles to see whether they could feel the sound of a smile in recorded French sentences—some of which were manipulated to include the effect, but others not. Their results showed that even when they consciously (有意识地) missed a smile, their zygomaticus major muscles (颧大肌) prepared to grin (露齿笑) in response to it.
