第一部分文章背景

[內(nèi)容分類]人文科學一說明文

作為2002年第一篇文章，本文難度不大，是一種指南性的說明文，觀點明確，論述清

晰，旨在教會讀者如何使用幽默。

第二部分語言點詳解

1.identify認出；識別

[大綱詞匯]identifyv.認出;識別

[衍生詞匯]identificationn認明；識別;身份證明,簡寫為ID

[經(jīng)典例句]Areasonablemancanidentifythebestmethodofsolvingthepro

blem.

2.sympathy同情

[大綱詞匯]n同情；體諒；

[衍生詞匯]詞綴sym-表示〃同，相同的〃

sympatheticadj同情的；表示同情的；感到同情的

antipathyn.憎惡，反感

［經(jīng)典例句］ThomasHardyshowshisgreatsympathytowardshischaracters.

3.alternatively做為選擇，或者

［大綱詞匯］alternativeadj&n隨便一個的；二者擇一;選擇

［用法解析］alternatively可以用在寫作中，用來引導另外一個平行的觀點或意見。

4.St.Peter圣彼得

［用法解析］St,是Saint的縮寫，是人們對耶酥基督的門徒的尊稱。

5.accommodation住處，住所

6.大［綱詞匯］accommodationn.住處，住所

［衍生詞匯］accommodatevt.供應，供給，使適應，調(diào)節(jié)

［經(jīng)典例句］Theuniversitydoesn，tprovideaccommodationforthefirstyear

students.

7.inedible不可食用的

［大綱詞匯］edibleadj適合食用的;可食用的

［經(jīng)典例句］Althoughthosemushroomslookveryappetizing,theyarereallyi

nedible.

8.canteen食堂，員工餐廳

［大綱詞匯］canteenn.食堂，餐廳

［記憶方法］這個詞很好記，它的發(fā)音與漢語的餐廳差不多。

9.appropriate正確的；適當?shù)?/p>

［大綱詞匯］appropriateadj正確的；合適的；適當?shù)?/p>

［經(jīng)典例句］Toattendthedinnerparty,youshouldchoosetheappropriatedr

essing.

10.notorious,聲名狼藉的；臭名昭彰的

［大綱詞匯］adj臭名遠揚的，臭名昭彰的

［聯(lián)想記憶］notorious一詞是個不折不扣的貶義詞，和它意思相近，表示〃名氣很大的

〃英文詞很多，比如：famous,well-known,renowned,celebrated都是褒義，而貶義的只

有infamous一詞。

11.resent憤恨，怨恨

［大綱詞匯］resentv.憤恨,怨恨，憤慨

［經(jīng)典例句］TheChairmanresentsalltheunfaircommentsimposedonhim.

［經(jīng)典例句］Pleasedon'tmakeanydisparagingremarks.

13.scapegoatn替罪羊，代人受過者

［聯(lián)想記憶］記住goat這個詞。在英文中與〃羊〃有關(guān)的還有blacksheep,表示敗類，害

群之馬

14.off-the-cuff未經(jīng)準備的；即席的；隨意的

［經(jīng)典例句］Insgroupstoshowyourhumor,youmustmakesomeoff-the-cuffhum

第三部分難句解析

1.Yourhumormustberelevanttotheaudienceandshouldhelptoshowthem

thatyouareoneofthemorthatyouunderstandtheirsituationandareinsym

pathywiththeirpointofview.

［結(jié)構(gòu)剖析］:該句是一個復雜單句，句子的主語是yourhumor,后面有兩個平行的謂

語mustbe和shouldhelp它們后面分別有其賓語。其中shouldhelp后面的賓語是不定式

toshow,而它的賓語比較復雜，是兩個并列的賓語從句：thatyouareoneofthem和t

hatyouunderstandtheirsituationandareinsympathywiththeirpointofvie

w,中間用or連接

［閱讀重點］:本句結(jié)構(gòu)比較簡明，只需注意showthem后面是兩個并列的賓語從句就可

以了。后面的賓語從句中有個很有用的詞組insympathywith,表示同情，同意，贊同。

［參考譯文］:你的幽默必須和聽眾相關(guān)，而且能夠幫你顯示你是他們中的一分子，或者

你了解他們所處的情形且同意他們的觀點。

2.Ifyouarepartofthesgroupswhichyouareaddressing,youwillbeina

positiontoknowtheexperiencesandproblemswhicharecommontoallofyouan

dit'11beappropriateforyoutomakeapassingremarkabouttheinediblecant

eenfoodorthechairman'snotoriousbadtasteinties

［結(jié)構(gòu)剖析］:if引導了一個條件從句，而后面的主句是兩個子句構(gòu)成的并列句。在第

一個字句youwillbeinapositiontoknowtheexperiencesandproblemswhicha

recommontoal1ofyou中又有一個定語從句whicharecommontoallofyou來修飾t

heexperiencesandproblems,而后面的子句的結(jié)構(gòu)是一個itisadjforsbtodosth

的結(jié)構(gòu)。

［閱讀重點］:要看懂本句，重點在于要把后面的兩個子句斷開，并分別理解。

［參考譯文］:如果你是你講話對象中的一員，那么你就身處一種（有利）位置來了解對你

們來說都很普遍的經(jīng)歷和問題，而且你對餐廳中難以下咽的食物或老總臭名昭彰的領(lǐng)帶品位

進行隨意評判也是合適的。

3.Includeafewcasualandapparentlyoff-the-cuffremarkswhichyoucand

eliverinarelaxedandunforcedmanner.

［結(jié)構(gòu)剖析］:該句是一個祈使句。謂語是include,賓語是remarks,后面有一個定語

從句修飾它

［閱讀重點］:注意該句的特性。另外注意off-the-cuff的意思

［參考譯文］:你應該（在講話中）還包括幾個隨意的和似乎是脫口而出的評論，這些評論

應該以一種放松自然的方式表達出來。

4.Oftenit'sthedeliverywhichcausestheaudiencetosmile,sospeakslo

wlyandrememberthataraisedeyebroworanunbelievinglookmayhelptoshow

thatyouaremakingalight-heartedremark

［結(jié)構(gòu)剖析］:整句可以看成是由so連接的并列句，前后有一定的因果關(guān)系。前面的子

句是?個強調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)，而后面又是?個祈使句，其謂語動詞是speak和remember。而rememb

er后面又是一個很長的賓語從句。

［閱讀重點］:要理解前后的因果關(guān)系。

［參考譯文］:經(jīng)常是表達方式會使聽眾發(fā)笑，因此要講得慢一點，而且記住抬抬眉毛或

作出?個不相信的表情都能幫你顯示你是在講笑話。
