funny jokes, and comedy. I'm going to teach you, specifically, expressions we can use

笑，笑話和趣事。尤其是當我們聽到一則笑話，

when we hear a joke or when we watch a funny movie, or when something funny happens. So,

看了一部好笑的電影，或是碰到好笑的事情，我們能用的表達方式

the lesson for today is titled:

今日的課程主題是：

"LMAO: Talking about Comedy hahaha".

＂LMAO：細說趣事哈哈哈＂

All right. So, first off, "LMAO", I don't know if you've ever seen this, but this is

好，首先，不知道你有沒有聽過＂LMAO＂，

something people write on the internet. It's the same as "lol"; this means

這是網路用語。意思跟＂LOL＂是一樣的，也就是

"laugh my ass off".

＂笑掉我屁股＂（註：笑到從椅子上掉下來）

And we use this when we find something very, very funny.

當我們碰到非常、非常好笑的事情，我們就可以這麼說

So let me teach you first about the words "fun" and "funny", and then we will get into

所以我要先教你"fun"和"funny"的意思，然後再講解用法

these expressions. So the first thing I wanted to teach you: "fun" versus "funny". This is

首先，我要教的是："fun"和"funny"

probably one of the number one mistakes I see students make.

這也許是我見過學生最常犯的錯誤之一

"Oh, teacher, it's so fun.",

＂噢，老師，這有趣味＂，

"Oh, teacher, it's funny."

＂噢，老師，這好好笑＂

What's the difference? "Fun" is not used for hahaha. "Fun" is used

有什麼不同呢？"Fun"不是用來表達哈哈哈(好笑)的方式。

when we're talking about something that is exciting and that makes us happy. So, for

"Fun"是用在好玩的事情，指讓我們開心的事。例如說，

example, I like sports, sports are fun, sports are exciting, sports make me happy. This is

我喜歡運動，運動很有趣，運動很刺激，做運動讓我很開心

different from the word "funny". So, "funny" means it makes you laugh. The TV show The

與"funny"這個字的意思是不一樣的。所以，"funny"的意思是使你發笑

Big Bang Theory, to me, when I watch that, I laugh - it's funny. When I watch comedies,

我看＂宅男行不行＂的時候會笑－它讓我發笑了。當我看喜劇時，

when I watch funny movies, I laugh, so they are funny. Okay? So this is a very big difference

當我看好笑的電影時，我會笑出來，它們很好笑。懂嗎？所以這兩個字的意思

between these two, so very important you know the difference between "funny" and "fun".

完全不一樣，所以你一定要弄懂"fun"和"funny"兩者不同的地方

We have here the word "lol", I'll just explain what this means very quickly. "Lol" is something

有個詞叫做＂LOL＂，我很快地解釋一下。

we also use on the internet, similar to "lmao".

＂LOL＂是網路用語，跟＂LMAO＂很相近，

It means "laugh out loud".

意思就是＂大聲地笑＂

Okay? So when you see something funny on the internet, you can write: "Lol",

懂嗎？所以當你在網路上看見好笑的東西，你就能用＂LOL＂

and it means you think it's funny.

表示你覺得很好笑

So let's look at some expressions that we can use when we find something funny.

我們來看當我們遇到好笑的事，要怎麼表達

The first expression... And actually, I'm going to add something here: "hahaha". Okay. It's

第一個...我在這邊註明：＂哈哈哈＂。好了，這個很重要

important. Okay, so the first expression, here: "It's funny" means this happens. You

第一個用法"It's funny"，表示有好笑的事發生了，

see something: "Oh, it's funny. Hahaha." The second one has the same meaning: "It's hilarious."

你於是說：＂噢，這好好笑。哈哈哈！＂第二個用法意思相同："It's hilarious."＂

Okay? So this means it's funny. When I think about actors, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, these

懂嗎？就是很好笑的意思。這個詞讓我聯想到演員金凱瑞、麥克．邁爾斯，

guys, to me, I think they're hilarious. So I want you to try the pronunciation of this word:

我覺得他們很爆笑。我要你試著說這個字：

"hilarious".

"hilarious".

The stress, the part that's loud - there. "Hilarious". I want you to think

它的重音在這個音節。我要你想想

about something in your own life that you think is very funny. What's something that's hilarious?

你的生活中有什麼好笑的事情。有哪些爆笑的事呢？

Maybe you've seen a TV show, maybe YouTube videos.

你可能看了一齣電視劇，你可能看了YouTube影片

All right? Think about something that's hilarious.

可以嗎？想一些爆笑的事情，

We can also use this expression:

我們也可以說：

"It made me laugh."

"It made me laugh"

Okay? So this means you saw something, it was funny, it made you laugh.

懂嗎？意思是你看見好笑的事，你被逗笑了

We have, like I said before: "laugh my ass off", this

就像剛剛說的，我們可以用＂LMAO＂

is what we use when we're writing something on the internet. We can also use it with an "f",

這個網路用語，再加上＂F＂的字母，

which is a little bit ruder. It means:

這就有點粗魯了，意思是：

"Laugh my fucking ass off".

＂笑掉我他媽的屁股＂

If you laugh your ass off, it means you found something hilarious, it means you found something very, very funny.

如果你笑掉了屁股，表示你發現很爆笑的事，表示你發現非常、非常好笑的事

We also have this:

我們也能這樣說：

"I burst out laughing."

"I burst out laughing."

This means suddenly you start laughing. Okay?

意思是你突然笑出聲來了。懂嗎？

So you're serious, and suddenly: "Hahahahaha." Okay? You burst out laughing.

你原是一本正經的，突然你發出：＂哈哈哈哈哈＂的笑聲。你突然笑出聲來了

It's sudden laughter.

你突然爆出笑聲來了

We also have the word:

還有一個用法叫做：

"It cracks me up."

"It cracks me up."

If something cracks you up... So it can be anything.

如果有什麼事讓你笑開懷...任何事都行

It means the same thing as "It made me laugh." For me, cat videos on YouTube,

意思和"It made me laugh."是一樣的。對我來說，YouTube上的貓咪影片，

they crack me up. I laugh when I watch cat videos; they crack me up. Different movies

讓我笑的很開懷。因為看了貓咪影片，讓我笑的很開懷。

crack me up. The Three Stooges, I guess, cracked me up.

不同類型的電影能讓我笑得開懷，像是，＂三個臭皮匠＂，讓我笑的很開懷

Okay? So "crack me up" means it makes me laugh.

所以＂crack me up＂意思是讓我笑得開懷

Finally, the last one:

最後一個是：

"I couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't stop laughing."

"I couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't stop laughing."

Has there ever been a situation that you found so funny you laughed, and laughed, and laughed? For those

你曾碰過讓你一直笑、一直笑、笑個不停的的事情呢？

situations, we say: "I couldn't stop laughing."

這種狀況，我們就能說"I couldn't stop laughing."

So all of these we use when we're very happy,

所以當我們很開心，

and we find something hahaha; we find something funny.

當我們碰到讓我們哈哈大笑的事，就可以使用上述的用法

All right. Now, we also have words we use when we don't understand a joke. A lot of

好，現在，有幾種用法能表達我們聽不懂笑話

the times you'll hear an English joke, maybe you're watching a TV show, and everyone around

你常聽到英文的笑話，也許是哪天你在看電視時聽到的，而你旁邊的人

you is laughing, but you don't understand why. You don't know what's so funny.

都笑到不行了，你卻聽不懂。你不懂有什麼好笑的

You can say:

你可以說：

"I don't get it. I don't get the joke."

"I don't get it. I don't get the joke."

Okay? It means: "I don't understand." When I was learning French,

懂嗎？意思就是＂我聽不懂＂當我在學法語的時候，

a lot of jokes I did not get. Everybody would laugh. I'd watch

很多笑話我都聽不懂，但是大家都在笑。

a movie, everybody would be laughing. I didn't get it. So, "get" here means the same as "understand".

看電影的時候，大家都在笑。我卻聽不懂。所以，"get"的意思就是＂了解＂

All right? We'll come to this later.

這樣懂嗎？我們等等再來講解一次

Now we have, when somebody tells you a joke, and you don't really like the joke, or maybe

現在，當有人跟你講了個笑話，而你不是很喜歡這個笑話，

you're watching a movie, and you don't think it's funny. So this is for,

或是你可能在看電影，你不覺得電影好笑的時候。那麼，

okay, something's not funny. So what we can say here, we can say:

如何表達你不覺得好笑的事呢？我們可以說：

"It's not funny."

"It's not funny."

If a joke or something,

如果有人開了個玩笑，

somebody else finds it very funny, but you are just like:

有人覺得非常好笑，但你卻覺得：

"Come on. Are you serious? This isn't funny."

＂拜託，你當真嗎？這一點也不好笑＂

You can say: "It's lame." Okay? So these are usually what we say about

你就可以說："It's lame."　來表達當你聽到了

bad jokes. If somebody tells you a joke, and you just [rolls eyes]. Okay?

很爛的笑話。如果有人跟你說了一個笑話，你卻給他了白眼。你就能這麼說了

It means it's lame.

意思就是＂遜斃了＂

You can also say this: "It's corny."

你也可以說： "It's corny."（corny：老套）

"Corny" is kind of like when something is very...

"Corny"有點像是...

It's a joke that's really, really not funny. Maybe children will laugh, but adults won't.

真的一點也不好笑的笑話。小孩子也許會覺得好笑，但是大人不覺得

It's really not a funny joke. If somebody tells a joke or you watch a movie and it's

這是不好笑的笑話。如果人家跟你講的笑話，或是你看的電影

supposed to be funny, but nobody's laughing, you can say:

是故意要搞笑的，可是卻沒人笑，你就可以說：

"It bombed." So "bomb" is a verb,

"It bombed."　Bomb是一個動詞，

it means it's a very bad joke; it bombed.

意思就是不好笑的笑話，是個冷笑話

Finally, we have some jokes that people will say, some people might find funny, but to

最後，有一些笑話，有的人會覺得很好笑，

other people, it's not that the joke is just bad, it makes them feel very angry. Okay?

但對某些人來說，這種笑話不但不好笑，還會激怒人。懂嗎？

So maybe this is a joke about somebody's race, maybe it's a joke about somebody's religion.

可能是拿別人的種族，或是宗教信仰來開玩笑

So these are jokes we say:

我們能說：

"That joke, it's offensive."

"That joke, it's offensive."

"Offensive" means it makes us angry and it offends us.

"Offensive"　意思是會激怒人、冒犯人的

You can also say a joke is awful. It's terrible. It's horrible.

指這種笑話很不得體、很糟糕、很差勁

Okay?

懂了嗎？

The last thing I wanted to teach you is about something called a "dirty joke". When we talk

最後我要教你的是"dirty joke"

about dirty jokes in English, some people find them funny, some people find them horrible,

當說到這種笑話，有人覺得很好笑，也有人覺得很差勁，

so I put it in the middle here. Dirty jokes are jokes about sex. So if somebody says:

所以它介於中間。Dirty jokes 就是跟性有關的笑話。如果有人跟你說：

"I have a dirty joke for you",

"I have a dirty joke for you",

it means: "I have a joke about sex I'm going to tell you."

意思就是：＂我跟你講個黃色笑話＂

Okay?

懂了嗎？

So, now I am going to tell you some jokes. I'm not going to tell you any dirty jokes,

現在我要講幾則笑話。我就不講黃色笑話了，

and I don't think any of these jokes are offensive. Maybe they are. I don't think so, but I'm

這種笑話不會冒犯人的，至少對我來說不會。好，開始了

going to tell you some jokes. What I want you to do is after each joke, I want you to

請你聽完每一則笑話之後，

use one of these expressions, and tell me what you think about it. Okay? So this is

用以上所提到用法，告訴我你的想法。好嗎？

partially a listening exercise, so you're going to listen for the joke. After that,

這不算是個聽力練習，你只要仔細聽笑話內容。然後，

I want you to say out loud... So talk to your computer. I want you to say, if you laughed,

請你大聲的說出來...對著你的電腦說。如果你笑了，請你用

one of these expressions; if you don't understand, this; and if you hated the joke, one of these.

這邊的用法；如果你聽不懂，用這個；如果你討厭這個笑話，請說出這邊用法

Okay. So let's get started.

好！開始囉！

My first joke:

第一個笑話：

So: Why is 6 afraid of 7?

Okay, so

告訴我你覺得好不好笑。用其中一種表達方式

Did you burst out laughing?

你爆出笑聲了嗎？

＂噢，Emma老師好老套噢！這些笑話好遜＂

＂她一直講冷笑話，糟透了！＂

They're not funny." Okay? So in case all of them have been this, or: "I don't get it",
