The Best Medicine

As I approach the hospital wearing my white coat,I look just
like any other doctor.That is until I put on my curly rainbow wig,
big red nose,and add my name badge "Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-
Loud".I walk through the doors into the waiting area,where

In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl whose
ankle is twice its normal size.I speak with the on-duty nurse,who
tells me that Lara's parents rushed her to the hospital after she fell
off her bicycle.Since getting here,Lara has spent her time crying
in pain.Although it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her
injury,it's my job to make her feel better.

Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to
make people feel better,which means clown doctors can be
helpful.We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a
programme known as "hospital clowning".I chose this career
because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid.

Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities,we clown
doctors work together with medical professionals.On a typical day,
we spend our time cheering up patients,their families,and more
often than not,the hospital staff,too!We do this by doing magic
tricks,singing songs,telling stories and,of course,telling silly
jokes.Some children,though,don't feel like laughing,especially if

And as for me?Well,when I take off my wig and my red
nose,I'm still wearing a big smile,as I remember all the fun and

friendlier place to visit.After all,it really is true that "laughter is

Developing ideas
The Importance of Humour
幽默的重要性
☆好词好句摘抄
Humour has been an essential part of human behaviour for
thousands of years.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 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

☆学习心得总结
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
对敏感问题或有争议的问题产生新的认识。
Closer to modern times,someone who is remembered for his
ability to combine humour with more serious messages is American
writer,Mark Twain.Twain's particular style of writing is funny
and often mischievous.For example,in his classic novel The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer,he famously says,"Writing is easy.
121.
D英语|附录
All you have to do is cross out the wrong words."But he is equally
well known for his witty remarks in his everyday interactions with

people.For instance,while on a lecturing tour of the United
☆易错词句积累
States,Twain went into a barber's shop to get a haircut and a
shave.The barber,not recognizing 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 response was,
"That's 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
肃的内容而著称。他独特的写作风格幽默风趣,而且常常带有调侃
☆好词好句摘抄
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,你只需要把错误的单词划掉就行。”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。
马克·吐温回答说:“真倒霉。只要那个家伙演讲,我总是要站着!”
☆学习心得总结
Like Twain,but on the other side of the world,the Chinese
writer Wang Zengqi was soon to become famous for his own unique
brand of humour.In his essay "On Humour",Wang used fewer
than 600 characters to introduce several humorous examples of
famous people,concluding that,"The world is full of amusing
things.The thought of them would always make you laugh out
loud,even when you're just sitting by yourself."
与马克·吐温一样,但身处世界另一端的中国作家汪曾祺很快
以其独特的幽默风格而闻名。在《论幽默》一文中,汪曾祺使用不

到600个词汇介绍了几个名人幽默的例子,并得出结论:“世界充满

一人时也是如此。”
☆易错词句积累
Wang believed that humour not only shows one's personality,
but also reflects a person's attitude towards life.He himself gives
the best example to the word "humour".One day,one of his
readers flattered him by saying,"Gaoyou is famous for,first,the
poet Qin Shaoyou,and second,Wang Zengqi.Wang didn't show
any displeasure but only gave a gentle response,"No,Gaoyou
salted duck eggs are much more famous than me.I can only stay in
the third place."On another occasion,Wang was invited to give a

speech in the US and was scheduled to speak last.He walked to the
podium and began,"Unfortunately,none of today's speakers have
last names starting with X,Y,or Z,so I am the last one to speak.
Speaking last is difficult because everyone is already very tired.But
don't worry.My speech will be as short as a rabbit's tail.
汪曾祺认为,幽默不仅可以展示一个人的个性,而且可以反映
一个人对生活的态度。他自己就是“幽默”一词的最佳例证。有一
天,他的一个读者奉承他说:“高邮出名,一是因为诗人秦少游,二是

因为汪曾祺。”汪曾祺没有表现出任何不悦,只是温和地回应道:
“不,高邮减鸭蛋比我要出名得多。我只能屈居第三。”还有一次,汪
曾祺受邀在美国发表演讲,他被安排在最后。他走到讲台前,开口
说道:“很不幸,今天在座的演讲者没有一个人的姓氏是以X、Y或Z
开头的,所以我是最后一个演讲的人。最后一个演讲很难,因为每个
人都已经非常疲惫了。但别担心,我的演讲会像兔子的尾巴一样短。”
Both Twain and Wang understood that humour isn't just about
laughter,but is a way of life and a tool that can be used to

short and uncertain.But I pour my true feelings into it.The world

gave me its love first,so I cannot help but love it back."Life is

never smooth sailing and sometimes can be complicated and cruel.
But humour can help us maintain our enthusiasm for life.In fact,
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
mankind's greatest blessing".
马克·吐温和汪曾祺都明白,幽默不仅仅是笑,而且是一种生
活方式,一种可以用来照亮世界的工具。汪曾祺曾说:“人生如梦,
短暂而不确定。但我倾注了真情。世界首先给了我爱,所以我情不
自禁地回爱它。”生活从来都不是一帆风顺的,有时会复杂而残酷。
☆好词好句摘抄
但幽默可以帮助我们保持对生活的热情。事实上,有人可能会说,
我们对幽默的需求几乎跟对水和空气的需求一样大。用马克·吐
温的话说,“幽默是人类头等的幸事”。
