Lesson 29 Funny or Not  Whether we find a joke funny or not largely depends on where we have been brought up.  我们觉得一则笑话是否好笑(名词性从句，作主语)，很大程度取决于我们是在哪儿长大的。 Whether the pop star will come (or not) is not decided. Your success will largely depend upon what you do and how you do it.   你的成功主要取决于你做的事情和做的方式。 The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke.  幽默感与民族（性格） 有着神秘莫测的联系。譬如，法国人听完一则俄国笑话可能 很难发笑。 The failure of the housing market is bound up with the debt crisis.  He has become used to the idea that how he will be judged as prime minister is bound up with what happens in Iraq.  In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears. 同样的道理（方式/情况），一则可以令英国人笑出泪来的笑话（定从），俄国人听了可能觉得没有什么可笑之处(未发现有趣之处)。 fail to do失败；未做成 never fail to do 从未做不到 ; 双重否定表示肯定 Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal appeal. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say, Charlie Chaplin’s early films.  大部分令人发笑的故事都是根据喜剧情节编写的。尽管民族不同，有些滑稽的情节却能产生普遍的效果。比如说，不管你生活在哪里，你看查理.卓别林的早期电影 很难不发笑。 be based on/upon… 基于… in spite of （= despite of 不管） comic 喜剧的 comic book comedy 喜剧 silent comedies comedian 喜剧演员 clown 小丑 tragic adj. 悲剧的 tragedy n.悲剧 universal adj.普遍的 universal agent n.全权代理人 universal time n.(= Greenwich Time)世界时间,格林尼治时universal wheel n.万向轮universality n.普遍性, 一般性, 多方面性, 广泛性universally adv.普遍地, 全体地, 到处 However, a new type of humour, which stems largely from the U.S., has recently come into fashion. 然而，近来一种新式幽默 流行了起来，这种幽默主要来自美国。 stem vi.[美]起源, 发生 n.植物的茎, 干, 花梗, 叶柄stems from=spring from起源于= come from 出身于, 由...引起= arise from 由...而引起, 由...而产生= originate from 由某人发起(首创) come into fashion = become famous come into power (开始)掌权, 上台come into being 使产生, 使出现, 建立, 成立 It is called ‘sick humour.
