Is it true that we British people have a different sense of humor from people in other 【1】? Let's have a look at what we laugh at in Britain。
To us British people, powerful and important people often cause laughter. It's not 【2】 politicians 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【4】badly. We know they cannot win, but if they do win sometimes. It's even【5】. Our clowns 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 【7】other people might feel hopeless is one of the strangest things to learn about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony. 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 to【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.

本篇講述英國人讓人難以理解的幽默方式。英國人拿來取樂的事情真的與其他國家的人們不同,他們?nèi)樊敊?quán)者和比較重要的人和事,還有太過嚴肅的人;英國人嘲笑權(quán)力,也嘲笑任何受到不公正對待的人;我們難以理解英國式幽默在于當別人感到絕望時,英國人會嘲笑他們,講笑話的時候不會大笑甚至不會微笑。
【1】句意:我們英國人的幽默感和與來自其他國家的人們不一樣嗎?
從文字的表層意思推斷空格指來自其他國家的人們;空格在形容詞other后面,判斷填名詞名詞復數(shù)形式;country國家,名詞,以輔音+y為結(jié)尾,其復數(shù)形式要改y為i,再+es;故答案為countries。
【2】句意:讓我們發(fā)笑的不僅僅是政客,還有那些以告訴人們該做什么不該做什么為工作的人,和那些太過嚴肅緊張的人。
根據(jù)下文“but anyone whose job is to tell other people what to do and who takes themselves too seriously”推斷空格指不僅僅嘲笑政客,空格在句中,判斷填副詞;just僅僅,副詞;故答案為just。
【3】句意:讓我們發(fā)笑的不僅僅是政客,還有那些以告訴人們該做什么不該做什么工作的人,和那些太過嚴肅緊張的人。
本句是定語從句,先行詞anyone指人;從文字的表層意思推斷空格指任何太過嚴肅緊張的人;take oneself too seriously太嚴肅的對待自己;故答案為themselves。
【4】句意:我們嘲笑權(quán)力,但也可憐地嘲笑任何受到不公正對待的人。
空格是從句的謂語,判斷填動詞;從文字的表層意思推斷空格指受到不公正對待的人,由此判斷動詞用被動語態(tài),空格在be后面,可知填過去分詞;treat對待,動詞,其過去分詞為規(guī)則變化,故答案為treated。
【5】句意:我們知道他們不可能贏,但如果有時他們贏了,甚至更有趣。
由上文可知我們嘲笑權(quán)力,但也可憐地嘲笑受到不公正對待的人,由此推斷下文指當這些可憐的人贏了時,人們感覺更有趣;空格在be后面,判斷填形容詞;空格前有修飾詞even,判斷填形容詞比較級;funny有趣的,以輔音+y為結(jié)尾,其比較級要改y為i,再加er,故答案為funnier。
【6】句意:我們的小丑經(jīng)常是傻子做傻事,而在美國,他們通常是做聰明事,最后贏得了勝利的聰明人。
根據(jù)and并列結(jié)構(gòu)要一致的原則,判斷空格填動名詞;根據(jù)while的對比含義,上文傻人做傻事,推斷下文指聰明人做聰明事并且最終勝利;win贏、獲勝,動詞,以重讀閉音節(jié)為結(jié)尾,其動名詞要雙寫輔音字母,再加ing;故答案為winning。
【7】句意:當別人感到絕望時,我們卻大笑的事實,是了解英國幽默最奇怪的事情之一。
空格在“we laugh”和“other people might feel hopeless”之間,判斷填連詞;從文字的表層意思推斷空格處指當別人感到絕望時,我們卻大笑;when當……時候;故答案為when。
【8】句意:在經(jīng)歷了一些可怕的經(jīng)歷之后,我們可能會說“不太愉快”。
根據(jù)上文“We do have a strong sense of irony”推斷在一些可怕的經(jīng)歷后,他們只會輕描淡寫地說不太愉快;空格在副詞后,判斷填形容詞;pleasant令人愉快的,形容詞;故答案為pleasant。
【9】句意:當事情完全出錯時,說“只是一個小問題”。
根據(jù)上文“We do have a strong sense of irony”推斷空格處指當事情完全出錯時,卻說“只是一個小問題”。空格在形容詞前,判斷填副詞;total完全的,形容詞,其副詞形式為totally;故答案為totally。
【10】句意:另一個讓人很難理解英國幽默的地方是,當我們說一些有趣的事情時,我們不總是笑,甚至不微笑。
從文字的表層意思推斷,說笑話的人自己卻不笑,是很讓人難理解;本句是固定句型“動詞+it+賓語補足語+不定式”結(jié)構(gòu),it是形式賓語,不定式是真正賓語;understand理解,動詞;故答案為understand。
