Amusing is the most general of these words because it includes the idea of being enjoyable as well as making people laugh and can be used to describe events, activities and occasions. * amusing在这些词中含义最广，既表示好笑的，也表示有趣的、好玩的，可用以形容事件、活动和场合◆an amusing party / game / evening充满乐趣的聚会／游戏／晚会◆a funny/humorous/comic party/game/evening Humorous is not quite as strong as funny or comic and is more about showing that you see the humour in a situation, than actually making people laugh out loud. Comic is used especially to talk about writing and drama or things that are funny in a deliberate and theatrical way. It is not used to describe people (except for comic writers). Funny can describe people, jokes and stories, things that happen, or anything that makes people laugh. * humorous语气不如funny或comic强，多表明意会到情景中的滑稽之处，而非实际使人发笑。comic尤指作品、戏剧、事物等有意营造的戏剧性的滑稽可笑，但不用以描述人（comic writer例外）。funny可形容人、笑话、故事、发生的事情以及任何使人发笑的事物。 ■ hilarious /hɪˈleəriəs/ / extremely funny 极其滑稽的；令人捧腹的◆Lynn found the whole situation absolutely hilarious.林恩觉得这一切实在是太滑稽了。◆Do you know Pete? He's hilarious.你认识皮特吗？他风趣得很。■ ˌlight-ˈhearted intended to be amusing or easily enjoyable rather than too serious 轻松的；愉快的◆She gave a light-hearted speech that was just right for the occasion.她发表了轻松愉快的讲话，很适合当时的场合。 OPP serious ⇨ serious 2 |
