A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
笑话
Joke
When you're going for a joke, you're stuck out there if it doesn't work. There's nowhere to go. You've done the drum role and the cymbal clash and you're out on the end of the plank.
当你想要开玩笑的时候，如果行不通，你就会被困在那里。无处可去。你已经完成了鼓的角色和铙钹的碰撞，你已经在板的末端了。
Generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money, 'cause they're convinced that there is a free lunch.
一般来说，我们懂这个笑话的意思。我们知道自由市场毫无意义。我们知道，关键是要利用这个系统，打败市场，或者至少找到一个愿意付给你很多钱的人，因为他们相信有免费的午餐。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Comedy is just to me, maybe it's a natural knack, if I can see where the joke is in the writing and I can see where the setup is and I can tell this is the way to make it.
喜剧对我来说只是一种技巧，也许这是一种自然的技巧，如果我能在写作中看到笑话在哪里，我能看到设置在哪里，我能知道这就是制作喜剧的方法。
The joke or the pratfall is easy for me to do.
对我来说，这个笑话或失态很容易做到。
The girl-next-door image is a sort of joke; for years, I couldn't get any roles other than as somebody dark.
邻家女孩的形象是一种玩笑;多年来，我除了扮演一个黑暗的角色外，再也找不到其他的角色。
I don't consider myself a comedian because I don't really concern myself too much with jokes.
我不认为自己是喜剧演员，因为我不太在意笑话。
I think that the joke and the ghost story both have a similar set up in that you kind of set something up and pay it off with a laugh or a scare.
我认为这个笑话和鬼故事都有一个相似的背景，你设置了一些东西，然后用大笑或惊吓来偿还。
Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?
幽默总是建立在一点点事实的基础上。你听过关于岳父的笑话吗?
