The British Sense of Humour

The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to make sense of their jokes. The main thing to remember is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others.     1     Another key to understanding British humor is to know that the British often use understatement.

Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, 'She isn’t exactly friendly.' Understatement is often used in unpleasant situations or to make another person look silly.     2    

The British like to make fun of many other things. They often laugh about the silly and terrible things that happen to us every day, like when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society.     3    Finally, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy programme Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.

    4    In pictures, he almost never talks, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. For instance, once Mr. Bean bought a large chair. He needed to take it home, but it was too big to fit in his small car. His solution was to put the chair on top of his car.     5    Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people can better understand the British sense of humor.

A．British humor brings people laughter and content.
B．Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
C．Then, he sat in the chair and used a broom to drive the car!
D．They also like to make jokes about situations that are quite serious.
E．Throughout the film, the audience were amused by his convincing acting.
F．Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
G．Such jokes are normally about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave.

【推荐1】Even the kindest, most considerate people complain, and complaining doesn’t always have a negative impact.     1     So, how do you get a person complaining frequently to reduce it, for the benefit of your health and his?

·Change the subject. Some complainers will switch to another topic if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call from an old friend. If your coworker is dissatisfied with your boss, ask whether he met the new employee.    2    

·Be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short.       3     You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down —especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.

·    4       When it is someone very close to you who stresses you out with lots of negativity, it’s important to talk about the problem. Otherwise, if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow annoyed or start avoiding the person.

· Challenge the person to act.    5       This isn’t the usual direction a conversation with annoyance takes, but it may help end his anger. Typically, it’s not about how to fix it –people just want to keep talking about it. If you break that pattern, it puts them off guard, and people usually stop.

A．Have a heart -to -heart talk.
B．Show your interest in listening.
C．The problems start when complaining becomes regular.
D．In a word, get people off the complaint that they are recently making.
E．An excuse such as a work deadline isn’t needed to stop the complaint.
F．Sometimes, complaining can change an unfavorable situation into a more desirable one.
G．When a complainer tells you about his latest problems, encourage him to go to improve them.
