Participants who were able to laugh at themselves more also tended to be more cheerful and less serious overall, and were in better moods on the day of the experiment, the study found.

能够自嘲的受测者总体表现得更加的开朗，同时更加不拘小节。在参与实验的这一天中往往具有更好的心情。

Although studying people's sense of humor may seem like a trivial pursuit, it has important implications for health. Laughter, smiling and optimism are linked to better overall health. And "getting" certain types of jokes requires important social skills that can be impaired in conditions like autism and schizophrenia. Understanding the mechanics of humor may shed light on what goes wrong in those cases.

尽管研究人们的幽默感看起来似乎平淡无奇，但其对于健康的影响则相当重要。欢笑、微笑和乐观的态度都与整体的健康息息相关。要听懂某些笑话好需要有重要的社交技巧，这有助于避免自闭症与精神分裂症。了解幽默的“规则”有望帮助探寻在上述的情况中所出现了那些不好的苗头。

And sometimes, we just need a reminder to take everything — including ourselves — less seriously.

有的时候，我们需要常常提醒自己，在对待任何事物时，包括自己，都应该更加的放轻松些。
