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。 In the same way， a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears。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 Chaplins early films。 However, a new type of humour， which stems largely from the U。S。, has recently come into fashion。 It is called sick humour . Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents。 Many people find this sort of joke distasteful。 The following example of sick humour will enable you to judge for yourself.A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on pestering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He dreaded having to spend Christmas in hospital。 Though the doctor did his best， the patients recovery was slow。 On Christmas day， the man still had his right leg in plaster。 He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day， however， the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The man took heart and, sure enough， on New Years Eve he was able to hobble along to a party。 To compensate for his unpleas-ant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him. In the process， he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still mumbling something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.参考译文 我们觉得一则笑话是否好笑，很大程度取决于我们是在哪儿长大的。幽默感与民族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.同样的道理，一则可以令英国人笑出泪来的笑话,俄国人听了可能觉得没有什么可笑之处。 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。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.它被叫作“病态幽默”。喜剧演员根据悲剧情节诸如暴死，重大事故等来编造笑话.许多人认为这种笑话是低级庸俗的。下面是个“病态幽默的实例，你可据此自己作出判断。圣诞节前几周，某人摔断了右腿被送进医院。从他进医院那一刻时,他就缠住医生,让医生告诉他什么时候能回家。他十分害怕在医院过圣诞.尽管医生竭力医治，但病人恢复缓慢.圣诞节那天,他的右腿还上着石膏，他在床上郁郁不乐地躺了一天,想着他错过的种种欢乐。然而，第二天，医生安慰他说，出院欢度新年的可能性还是很大的,那人听后振作了精神.果然，除夕时他可以一瘸一拐地去参加晚会了.为了补偿住院这一段不愉快的经历，那人喝得稍许多了一点。在晚会上他尽情娱乐，一再告诉大家他是多么讨厌医院.晚会结束时,他嘴里还在嘟哝着医院的事,突然踩到一块冰上滑倒了，摔断了左腿.【课文讲解】I found it difficult to finish the work in a day.第1句话是文章的topicbe based on:以作为基础It was difficult not to be temptedStem from， come from, arise from, originate fromHis feeling of hate stems from envyHer interest in flowers stemed from her childhood in the countrycome into fashion 开始流行come into being 开始形成come into power 开始执政Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents。Some funny stories are based on tragic situations.A man whose right leg had been broken。.From the moment he arrived at party， he enjoyed himself very much。keep doing sth. 不间断的，不停的做某事keep on doing sth. 反复、重复干某事（中间可以有短暂的暂停） (keep： vi.)Dont keep on asking silly questions。He kept smoking all the while.He kept on smoking all the while.keep +宾语+动词ing形式，keep on 不能用于该句型He kept me waiting for an hour.Im sorry to have kept you waiting so long。dread to do =dread doinga miserable day: a terrible daythink of 想到，想起,想着When I saw you I thought of my sister。think of doing sth.He is thinking of setting up a school。spend time doing sth.by 通过某种方式手段dread to do = dread doinga miserable day: a terrible daythink of：想到，想起,想着When I saw you I thought of my sister。think of doing sth。He is thinking of setting up a school。spend time doing sth.by:通过某种方式手段I arrived here by train。在表达可能性这个语句的时候,经常采用复数形式chances ofMy chances of passing the examination are good。It is quite possible for me to pass the examination.L29-02 end 1454”L2903 begin 1416”His chances of being dismissed are good。记熟：his chances of doing sth. are good. / remote 做可能性极大/极小remoteHis chances of arriving here by bicycle are remote. slightHe took heart when he got the good news.lose heart :失去信心，失去勇气The cake is more than I can eat.mecessary， gook， possible, anticipate, expect， feel， suggest， report， require, thinkHe eats more than is good for him。asHe arrived as I expected。 / He arrived as was expected。He eats just as much as is good for him。He eats more than is good for him。The man drank just as much was good for him。She is quite fat。 =She isnt right fat.Yesterday I went swimming。 In the process， I had a very good time。I was lookingfor yourhouse and got lostin the process。keep telling =keep on tellinghow much to what extentHow much can I trust him?when: at that momentL29-03 end 1416”L2904 begin 【Multiple choice questions】Comprehension1 Whether you find sick humour funny or not will depend on _ .a。 your having been brought up in Americab。 the joke being related to a fundamentally comic situationc。 your ability to see the funny side of an unpleasant eventd. your ability to laugh until you crythe funny side of2 The man spent Christmas Day feeling miserable because _ .a。 the doctor had failed to attend to himb. he was not able to be with his friends.c。 being unable to walk， he did not enjoy the celebrations at the hospitald. he thought he might also miss the New Years Eve celebrationsHe spent a miseable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing。3 The point of the joke taken to illustrate sick humour is that _ 。a。 no sooner was the man out of hospital than he had to go back in againb。 the man should not have said how much he hated hospitalsc. the man would be unable to walk for the rest of his lifed. the man had not got a leg to stand ontaken to illustrate过去分词Structure4 _ ， for instance， might find it hard to (ll。34)a.
