Are Americans all humorous? Why uh?

Summer marmot.

Scholar] Life without humor is boring, in order to make your life colorful and interesting, everyone should learn some humor, in order to relax your sorrowful brows, dissolve your troubles, dispel bad emotions, and at the same time bring joy to the people you come into contact with. In fact, it is not easy to do this, it requires long-term observation, accumulation and learning, as well as a deep understanding of life, so it is necessary to consciously cultivate it in order to obtain the natural expression of humor.

First, we must learn to "regulate" ourselves, cultivate our noble tastes, and lay the "foundation" for humor in our thoughts and emotions. People with the psychological quality of humor are able to be positive, enthusiastic, compassionate, and can "turn hostility into friendship" in clever words and actions, or in a self-deprecating way, to change their relationship with those around them, and also to put themselves in an emotional state that is beneficial to their physical and mental health.

Second, it is necessary to step up study and broaden one's knowledge. Because humor is a kind of cultural accumulation, it needs to reach a certain level of cultural level. The storage of a person's knowledge is directly proportional to the cultivation of the individual.

Only those who are knowledgeable can have the ability to judge the situation and size up the situation, be able to talk richly, make interesting remarks, make appropriate analogies, not worry about the gains and losses based on the trivial matters in front of them, and be more elegant and less reckless.

The third is to be diligent in thinking and cultivate deep insight. Humor is a kind of psychological calisthenics that requires long-term mental exercise. Therefore, constantly improving our ability to observe things, develop our wits in practice, and cultivate an agile style is an important aspect of improving our sense of humor.

Life is the source of humor, only with the love of real life, the yearning and exploration of the unknown, the deep understanding of the essence of new things, and the rapid capture, can we discover the humor of life itself and create the real humor of life.

Not necessarily, similar to us.

"You lonely and lonely ugly monster", I think it's funny when I think about it, how can Americans talk so funny. First of all, the male protagonist picked up girls everywhere, but no one paid attention to him, so he said to his friends: "Maybe the girls here in the UK don't like his accent, if he goes to France and speaks French with a British accent, the girls over there may fall in love with him."

As a result, his friend said to him very sincerely: "You lonely and lonely ugly bastard, wake up." ”

American Humor (1).

Sometimes you listen to American jokes, and you understand every word, but you just don't know why it's funny. The reason for this is that you don't understand the cultural background behind the joke and how Americans perceive certain people and things. It's like if you hear a joke about Bill Gates or Clinton, if you don't know that Bill Gates is a rich man, and Clinton is a person who likes to mess with flowers, then you can't really understand those jokes about them, or think those jokes are funny.

Today I want to tell you about American culture through some short jokes from Americans. In fact, it's not so much "American culture" as "American prejudice." In English, Americans call the "colored glasses" in "looking at people with colored eyes" "stereotype".

In China, we also have such stereotypes. For example, we usually think that Shanghainese people are "shrewd", Beijingers are "smart", Cantonese people are "business-minded", or girls in Jiangnan are smart, and so on. Some stereotypes are good, while others are discriminatory or malicious.

Some prejudices have real elements, while others are purely imaginary.

What I want to tell you today is the "prejudice" of this American. My goal is to let everyone understand American humor by understanding the American cultural background, and just understand it yourself, stop inventing and making up jokes, if you don't do it well, it will be very offensive to people, and let others think that you are such a narrow-minded person and look at people with colored eyes.

American humor is witty, elegant, and not quite as rugged or direct as oriental humor. Sometimes I talk about American humor, but people don't understand it, and maybe there are some cultural differences in it. Take, for example, American humor: the pilot's manual.

1. Every take-off is voluntary, and every landing is compulsory.

2. Always keep the number of landings equal to the number of takeoffs.

3. When you feel chaotic, keep your altitude because no one has ever collided with the sky.

4. The chances of survival are inversely proportional to the angle of land. Large landing angles, small chances of survival.

5. There are three principles for making a good landing, but unfortunately, no one knows which three...

6. At the beginning you have two bags, the luck bag is full, and the experience bag is empty. The point is, before the luck bag becomes empty, fill it to the brim!

7. Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, experience often comes from bad judgments......

8. There are old pilots and brave pilots; However, there are no brave old pilots here.

9. Flying is not dangerous, crashing is.

10. The only time you will think that there is too much gasoline is when it catches fire.

11. A "good" landing means that you can safely walk out of the cabin; An "excellent" landing means that the plane can be reused.

12. The propeller is actually just a big fan that cools the pilot, and when it stops, you will basically see the pilot start to sweat.

Read it all from beginning to end, don't take it out of context, or you won't understand. American movies are quite logical.

An American joke is a very cold joke that is inadvertently in everyday life, usually at the end of the article.

In the United States, you can never finish a large glass of Coke, and you have to buy clothes in the United States to be two sizes smaller, and Americans talk!
