British humor vs American humor
英式幽默vs 美式幽默
British actor and comedian Simon Pegg discussed the differences between British and American sense of humor in a column for The Guardian. He believes that while Brits use irony on a daily basis, the Americans do not see the point of using it so frequently. He wrote: “British jokes, on the other hand, tend to be more subtle with a dark or sarcastic undertone... the [American] jokes are more obvious and forward, a bit like Americans themselves.”
英国喜剧演员西蒙•佩吉曾在《卫报》专栏探讨过英式和美式幽默的区别。他认为英国人每天都会用反讽的幽默,而美国人用的却不是很多。他写道:“换句话说,英式笑话更隐晦,伴有黑色和讽刺的潜台词……而美式笑话更明显、直白,和美国人的个性很像。”
Pegg illustrated his point by transcribing a joke he heard a British friend make, in the wake of family tragedy.
