作者:舟山翻译 - Fancy    发布于:2014-01-03 15:36:28    文字:【】【】【

何为笑话,它是指以一句短语或一个小故事让说话者和听者之间觉得好笑,或是产生幽默感,另外一个行动(动作)型的笑话是以动作影响人的视觉及观感,而感到好笑。笑话以篇幅短小,故事情节简单而巧妙,往往出人意料,取得笑的艺术效果。译辰舟山翻译公司的英语翻译译员收集了下面两则笑话,与小伙伴们一同欣赏。

(一)、Who is Stupid 谁愚蠢

A teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks you're stupid, stand up!"
Little Johnny then stood up.
The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Johnny?"
"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"

一个老师在对学生们讲心理学,“谁认为自己蠢就站起来?”她一开始就说。
小约翰尼站了起来。
“你认为你很蠢吗,小约翰尼?”老师问。
“不是的,老师,我只是不喜欢看你一个人站着。”


(二)、Persistance 缠住不放

Returning from a golf outing(远足,短途旅行) , my husband was greeted at the door by Sara, our four-year-old daughter. Daddy, who won the golf game? You or Uncle Richie? Uncle Richie and I don't play golf to win, my husband hedged(避免作正面答复) . We just play to have fun.
Undaunted, Sare said, Okay, Daddy, who had more fun?

丈夫打完高尔夫球回来,我们四岁的女儿莎拉在门口迎了上去。爸爸,谁赢了高尔夫球比赛,是你还是理查叔叔?
我和理查叔叔打高尔夫球不是为赢,丈夫推诿说。我们打球只是为了好玩而已。
莎拉毫不气馁,又问:那么,爸爸,谁觉得更好玩呢?
