Whether we find a joke funny or not largely depends on where we have been brought up. The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears.
Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal appeal. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say, Charlie Chaplin's early films. However, a new type of humour, which stems largely from America, has recently come into fashion. It is cal1ed' sick humour '. Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents. Many people find this sort of joke distasteful. The following example of 'sick humour' will enable you to judge for yourself.
A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on pestering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He dreaded having to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, the patient's recovery was slow. On Christmas day, the man still had his right leg in plaster. He spent
a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The man took heart and, sure enough, on New Year's Eve he was able to hobble along to a party. To compensate for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still mumbling something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.
我們覺(jué)得一則笑話是否好笑，很大程度取決于我們是在哪兒長(zhǎng)大的。幽默感與民族有著神秘莫測(cè)的聯(lián)系。譬如，法國(guó)人聽(tīng)完一則俄國(guó)笑話可能很難發(fā)笑。同樣的道理，一則可以令英國(guó)人笑出淚來(lái)的笑話，俄國(guó)人聽(tīng)了可能覺(jué)得沒(méi)有什么可笑之處。
大部分令人發(fā)笑的故事都是根據(jù)喜劇情節(jié)編寫的。盡管民族不同，有些滑稽的情節(jié)卻能產(chǎn)生普遍的效果。比如說(shuō)，不管你生活在哪里，你看查理.卓別林的早期電影很難不發(fā)笑。然而，近來(lái)一種新式幽默流行了起來(lái)，這種幽默主要來(lái)自美國(guó)。它被叫作"病態(tài)幽默"。喜劇演員根據(jù)悲劇情節(jié)諸如暴死，重大事故等來(lái)編造笑話。許多人認(rèn)為這種笑話是低級(jí)庸俗的。下面是個(gè)"病態(tài)幽默"的實(shí)例，你可據(jù)此自己作出判斷。
圣誕節(jié)前幾周，某人摔斷了右腿被送進(jìn)醫(yī)院。從他進(jìn)醫(yī)院那一刻時(shí)，他就纏住醫(yī)生，讓醫(yī)生告訴他什么時(shí)候能回家。他十分害怕在醫(yī)院過(guò)圣誕。盡管醫(yī)生竭力醫(yī)治，但病人恢復(fù)緩慢。圣誕節(jié)那天，他的右腿還上著石膏，他在床上郁郁不樂(lè)地躺了一天，想著他錯(cuò)過(guò)的種種歡樂(lè)。然而，第二天，醫(yī)生安慰他說(shuō)，出院歡度新年的可能性還是很大的，那人聽(tīng)后振作了精神。果然，除夕時(shí)他可以一瘸一拐地去參加晚會(huì)了。為了補(bǔ)償住院這一段不愉快的經(jīng)歷，那人喝得稍許多了一點(diǎn)。在晚會(huì)上他盡情娛樂(lè)，一再告訴大家他是多么討厭醫(yī)院。晚會(huì)結(jié)束時(shí)，他嘴里還在嘟噥著醫(yī)院的事，突然踩到一塊冰上滑倒了，摔斷了左腿。

Small boats loaded with wares sped to the great liner as she was entering the harbour. Before she had anchored, the men from the boats had climbed on board and the decks were soon covered with colourful rugs from Persia, silks from India, copper coffee pots, and beautiful hand-made silver-ware. It was difficult not to be tempted. Many of the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decided not to buy anything until I had disembarked. I had no sooner got off the ship than I was assailed by a man who wanted to sell me a diamond ring. I had no intention of buying one, but I could not conceal the fact that I was impressed by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as big as marbles. The man went to great lengths to prove that the diamonds were real. As we were walking past a shop, he held a diamond firmly against the window and made a deep impression in the glass. It took me over half an hour to get rid of him.
The next man to approach me was selling expensive pens and watches. I examined one of the pens closely. It certainly looked genuine. At the base of the gold cap, the words 'made in the U.S.A.' had been neatly inscribed. The man said that the pen was worth &10, but as a special favour, he would let me have it for &8. I shook my head and held up a finger indicating that I was willing to
pay a pound. Gesticulating wildly, the man acted as if he found my offer outrageous, but he eventually reduced the price to &3. Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away when, a moment later, he ran after me and thrust the pen into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he readily accepted the pound I gave him. I felt especially pleased with my wonderful bargain--until I got back to the ship. No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink and to this day it has never written a single word !
當(dāng)一艘大型班船進(jìn)港的時(shí)候，許多小船載著各種雜貨快速向客輪駛來(lái)。大船還未下錨。小船上的人就紛紛爬上客輪。一會(huì)兒工夫，甲板上就擺滿了色彩斑斕的波斯地毯。印度絲綢。銅咖啡壺以及手工制作的漂亮的銀器。要想不為這些東西所動(dòng)心是很困難的。船上許多游客開(kāi)始同商販討價(jià)還價(jià)起來(lái)，但我打定主意上岸之前什么也不買。
我剛下船，就被一個(gè)人截住，他向我兜售一枚鉆石戒指。我根本不想買，但我不能掩飾這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)：其鉆石之大給我留下了深刻的印象。有的鉆石像玻璃球那么大。那人竭力想證明那鉆石是真貨。我們路過(guò)一家商店時(shí)，他將一顆鉆石使勁地往櫥窗上一按，在玻璃上留下一道深痕。我花了半個(gè)多小時(shí)才擺脫了他的糾纏。
向我兜售的第二個(gè)人是賣名貴鋼筆和手表的。我仔細(xì)察看了一枝鋼筆，那看上去確實(shí)不假，金筆帽下方整齊地刻有"美國(guó)制造"字樣。那人說(shuō)那支筆值50英鎊，作為特別優(yōu)惠，他愿意讓我出30英鎊成交。我搖搖頭，伸出5根手指表示我只愿出5鎊錢。那人激動(dòng)地打著手勢(shì)，仿佛我的出價(jià)使他不能容忍。但他終于把價(jià)錢降到了10英鎊。我聳聳肩膀掉頭走開(kāi)了。一會(huì)兒，他突然從后追了上來(lái)，把筆塞到我手里。雖然他絕望地舉起雙手，但他毫不遲疑地收下了我付給他的5鎊錢。在回到船上之前，我一直為我的絕妙的討價(jià)還價(jià)而洋洋得意。然而不管我如何擺弄，那枝漂亮的鋼筆就是吸不進(jìn)墨水來(lái)。直到今天，那枝筆連一個(gè)字也沒(méi)寫過(guò)!
