The characters, events and even the words of the story are quite fixed, and it is passed around between people with few or no changes. The same is true of gag and sometimes one-liner below. The other words in this group describe more original remarks that you make as a reaction to a particular situation or what sb else has said. * joke通常指结尾好笑的故事，其中的角色、事件、甚至措辞都基本不变，在人们中间流传而少有改变，gag和某些时候的one-liner也是如此。本组同义词中的其他单词则指人们在某个场合或回应别人的话时讲的具有原创性的俏皮话。■ quip [countable] a clever and funny remark, especially one that is made quickly and without preparation （尤指即兴的）妙语，俏皮话◆The senator made several quips during the interview, which got the audience laughing.访谈过程中这位参议员说了些俏皮话，逗得观众哈哈大笑。■ prank [countable] a trick that is played on sb as a joke 玩笑；恶作剧◆It was just a childish prank－don't take it so seriously.这只是个幼稚的恶作剧，别当回事。◆a silly / stupid prank愚蠢的恶作剧◆a prank call / phone call恶作剧电话 see also trick ⇨ trick ■ pun [countable] the clever or humorous use of a word that has more than one meaning, or of words that have different meanings but sound the same 双关语◆We're banking on them lending us the money－no pun intended!我们正指望(bank on)他们借钱给我们呢－bank绝无双关之意！ⓘ Instead of laughing, people often groan when they hear a pun. The phrases forgive the pun, excuse the pun and pardon the pun are used as a way of apologizing for making one (either by accident or on purpose). 人们听到pun常会抱怨而不是发笑，因此forgive the pun，excuse the pun和pardon the pun等短语便成了人们在有意无意使用了双关语后的道歉用语◆So you collect pins? But what's the point in that, if you'll forgive the pun?原来你收藏饰针(pin)呀？可这有什么用(point)呢？请原谅我的双关语。 ■ gag [countable] (informal) a joke or a funny story, especially one told by a professional comedian （尤指专业喜剧演员讲的）笑话，逗趣的话；插科打诨◆He was a non-stop comedian, cracking gags by the dozen.他是个逗笑不断的喜剧演员，讲起笑话来滔滔不绝。◆a running gag (= one that is regularly repeated during a performance) 重复出现的笑话桥段■ ˌone-ˈliner [countable] (informal) a joke or a funny remark that consists of a single sentence （只有一句话的）小笑话，俏皮话，风趣的话◆He came out with some good one-liners.他讲了几句很风趣的话。■ wisecrack [countable] (informal) a clever remark or joke, especially one which could upset or offend people （尤指使人不快或冒犯人的）俏皮话，风凉话◆He promised not to make any wisecracks during the dinner.他答应吃饭时不开玩笑。 |
