1. 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A nation's humor is linked to the
historical development of the country. How funny somebody finds a certain thing
depends on many things including ages, personal experiences, levels of
education and locations. Therefore, humor is something that is not always
transferable (可转移的) in another country.
What about when both countries speak the
same mother tongue? Does that mean they will then share the same sense of humor,
or can differences still take place? Let's take the example of Britain and
America. Time and time again, people say that Brits and Americans don't "get"
each other's sense of humor. It is often argued that one of the most common
differences between the British and American sense of humor is that Americans
don't understand irony (反话). Simon Pegg explores
this topic in depth in his article What Are You Laughing At? He concludes that
this statement isn't true and I agree with him.
In fact, Brits use irony on a daily basis
while Americans don't. I think Americans understand British irony (most of the
time anyway); what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently. When
Americans use irony, they tend to say that they are "only kidding". They
feel the need to make a joke more obvious than Brits do. Maybe this comes from
a fear of offending (冒犯) people.
The American sense of humor is generally
more slapstick (闹剧的) than that in Britain. I
think this arises from a cultural difference between the two. Their jokes are
more obvious and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes, on
the other hand, tend to be more subtle. This may stem from the fact that
British culture is more reserved (矜持的) than American
culture.
