Unit 17 Unit 17　Laughter 教材背景链接 看憨豆先生主演的电影，一定会有这样的“笑果”！ IT is unbearably tense. A secret agent from British intelligence finds himself ambushed(中埋伏)in a church.The agent manages to escape.A high-speed chase around London begins，with the agent leading in a super-speed motorized wheelchair. Wait—a wheelchair？Yes—this isn’t the latest James Bond movie.Instead，it is Johnny English Reborn，a movie which will come out in the UK in October.The hero，Johnny English，is played by actor Rowan Atkinson，who has achieved worldwide recognition for his performance as Mr Bean. The movie is a sequel(续集)to the box-office hit，Johnny English.This time，an international group of assassins(刺客)is planning to murder world leaders.The bumbling(笨拙的)secret agent takes up the mission to stop them. Laughter is something the British take very seriously.They count their humor(or，as they spell it，“humour”) among their greatest exports.It’s as important to British culture as afternoon tea or David Beckham.So director Oliver Parker didn’t want to try and get cheap laughs.“It is very important to keep the integrity(truthfulness)of a serious spy thriller as much as possible，”he said.“In my mind，I felt that if we could get the thriller right，then the comedy would work better.” But he admitted that combining a comedy with a thriller was not an easy job.“It was a very difficult thing.So much of Rowan’s comedy is the delight of knowing that there’s a banana skin that he can step on.But if you play that too often，then the banana skin loses its slipperiness(滑溜)，”Parker explained. The beauty of Johnny English Reborn，as Atkinson，56，explained to the newspaper The Australian，is that all the characters seem to think everything is very serious.The actors play their roles as if they were in a serious film.It’s up to the audience to realize how ridiculous everything is. 新课导入 笑，是劈开阻碍陌生人之间交往坚冰的利斧； 是融化人与人之间心里隔阂的熔炉；是胶合人 与人之间情感的粘合剂；是促进人与人之间融 洽和谐的春风雨露。一句话，笑，是人类最美 好的表情和最圣洁的语言；是人类最具魅力和 威力的表情动作。 ? 本部分内容讲解结束 按ESC键退出全屏播放 Uni
