bad British fun hope pleasure power they total understand 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 【1】.
To us British people, 【2】 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 【3】 too seriously.
We laugh at the power, but also, pitifully, at anyone who is treated 【4】. We know they cannot win, but if they do win sometimes, it’s even 【5】. Our clowns (小丑) are often silly people doing silly things, while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things-and 【6】 at last.
The fact that we laugh when other people might feel 【7】 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 【8】.” 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 【9】 wrong. We don’t like to express strong feelings, but just “keep calm and carry on”.
Another thing that can make it difficult 【10】 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?

21、Have you heard of dodos (渡渡鸟)? The dodo was a kind of bird that was very large. You might not think it was a bird at all because the dodo could not fly. It was a member of the chicken family. It lived happily and safely until people arrived. European sailors (水手) found those birds in the 16th century on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean.
When the sailors found the strange birds that could not fly, they were surprised. The Europeans on Mauritius Island and the pigs they brought with them found the birds very delicious. So large numbers of dodos were killed and no living dodos were found on the island in the following years. Later, the samples (标本) of some dodos were brought to England in the 17th century for the further study.
In fact, the extinction (灭绝) of dodos was caused by people. This was how the phrase “as dead as a dodo” came. It teaches us a big lesson. If we are not able to get along with nature, we will lose the things more than we would expect. And we should stop the activities that will be bad for the environment or other animals.

“Mum, is there love between you and Dad?” I asked in a very low voice.
With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, “Susan, look at this thread(线). It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside.”
I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.
After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said. I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life. Reading his eyes, I knew he loves my mother deeply.
