The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears.Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal appeal. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say, Charlie Chaplin's early films. However, a new type of humour, which stems largely from the U.S., has recently come into fashion. It is called' sick humour '. Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents. Many people find this sort of joke distasteful. The following example of 'sick humour' will enable you to judge for yourself.A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on pestering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He dreaded having to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, the patient's recovery was slow. On Christmas day, the man still had his right leg in plaster. He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The man took heart and, sure enough, on New Year's Eve he was able to hobble along to a party. To compensate for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still mumbling something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.二、 【New words and expressions】 生词和短语●largely adv. 在很大程度上●comic adj. 喜剧的，可笑的●universal adj. 普遍的●comedian n. 滑稽演员，喜剧演员●distasteful adj. 讨厌的●pester v. 一再要求，纠缠●dread v. 惧怕●recovery n. 康复●plaster n. 熟石膏●console v. 安慰，慰问●hobble v. 瘸着腿走●compensate v. 补偿●mumble v. 喃喃而语■largely adv. 在很大程度上Eg.: He success was largely due to luck.■comic adj. 喜剧的，可笑的■universal adj. 普遍的universal agent 全权代理人universal time 世界时universal joint 万向接头universality n. 普遍性universally adv.Eg.: It universally acknowledged that English is getting more and more important.universe 宇宙■comedian n. 滑稽演员，喜剧演员comedy 喜剧tragedy 悲剧tragic 悲剧的comic 喜剧的■distasteful adj. 讨厌的Eg.: The idea is distasteful to me.distastefully adv.■pester v. 一再要求，纠缠==assail (l28)pester sb. to dopester sb. withEg.: He contunually pesters his boss with demands. pester sb. for sth.■dread v. 惧怕后面可以跟名词、动名词、不定式搭配连用Eg.: We were dreading his arrival.我们正担心他来呢。
