The English humour
英国人的幽默
Fun seems to be the possession of the English race.Fun is
JohnBullls idea of humour ,and there is no
intellectualjudgment in fun.Everybody understands it be-cause
it is practical.More than that ,it unites allclasses and
sweetens even political life.To studythe elemental form of
English humour ,you must look to the school-boy.It begins
with the practical joke ,and unless there is something of his
natureabout it ,it is never humour to an Englishman.Inan
English household ,fun is going all the time.The entire house
resounds witn it.The father comes home and the whole family
contribute to theamusement;puns ,humorous uses of words
little things that are meaningless nonsense ,if you like
round ,and every one enjoys them thoroughly for just what
they are.The Scotch are devoid ofthis trait ,and the
Americans seem to be ,too.

逗乐儿似乎是英国人的秉性,是典型的英国人所说的幽默,不需
区分智力高下。它切合实际,人人都懂。不但如此,它把各阶层人士
联系在一起,甚至还使政治生活变得盎然有趣。要研究英国幽默的基
础形式,你必须观察其教科书。教科书都是以切合实际的玩笑开头,
如果这个玩笑无关于英国人本性,在英国人看来,就无幽默可言。在
一个英国家庭里,逗乐儿无时不在实行,整幢屋子其乐融融。父亲回
家了,全家人各显其能,津津乐道 ; 双关语、俏皮话、大实话、空话废
话满天飞,人人尽情享受。苏格兰人没有这种性格,美国人恐怕也没
有。
If I had the power to give humour to the na-tions I would
not give them drollery ,for that isimpractical;I would not
give them wit ,for that isaristocratic ,and many minds cannot
grasp it;but Iwould be contented to deal out fun ,which has
nointellectual element , no subtlety , belongs to oldand young
educated and uneducated alike ,and isthe natural form of the
humour of the Englishman.

如果我有权给予此民族幽默的特质,那么我就不给予他们诙谐的本领,因为那不切实际 ; 我也不给予他们风趣的风格,因为那过于贵族派头,以致多数人无法理解 ; 我要心满意足地给予他们逗乐儿的本事,即不分智力高下,没有隐晦曲折,无论老少或受教育与否都能享受的英国式的自然幽默。
Let me tell you why the Englishman speaksonly one
language.He believes with the strongest conviction that his own tongue is the one that allpeople ought to speak and will come in time tospeak ,so what is the use of learning any other?Hebelieves s ,too ,that he is appointed by Providenceto be a governor of all the rest of the human ra
