Chapter 32 4. On humorous translation

Brother Qingya: De Zha Lun uses the word "Yumiao" as the second Chinese translation of Humour. The language is natural and the phonology is similar.Humor has become a colloquial language, and it is not easy to get rid of it. However, witty words are also quite useful, especially as adjectives, such as "what a witty word"!Someone is too humorous, you can also say "someone is too witty".This book intends to select Chinese humorous texts one by one and include them in the column of humorous texts, so this phrase can be used frequently.My brother means that "Yu Miao" contains the meaning of oral debate and random response, which is close to the so-called wit in English.That is, its usage can be slightly limited.

The word "humor" is a pure transliteration, and its meaning is taken from its meaning, because humor contains the meaning of fake ignorance and fake stupidity. Those who have nothing to do, don't need to explain it. This is a far-fetched statement. If we talk about it in detail, the Humour version cannot be translated, and the only way is transliteration.In Chinese, the words for funny words are called "funny tuti", "humor", "sarcasm", "sarcasm", "sarcasm", "sarcasm", "sarcasm", "sarcasm", "sarcasm", "sarcasm", "ridicule", "joking", "joking" , called jokes, called Meng Lang, called absurd, said sarcasm, said teasing, said playful, said evil jokes, said side-splitting, etc.However, all of them are either sharp on the fingertips, or in the style of birthday, and fail to express the meaning of "humor" of magnanimity and tranquility, just like Chinese words such as "perfunctory" and "lively" cannot be properly translated into Western languages.The most recent one is "joy but not abuse", which means loyalty.The reason why humor is different from funny and absurd: one is to sympathize with the object of ridicule.If people have weaknesses, they can make fun of them. If they have weaknesses, they should also be ridiculed. This is the true meaning of humor. If it is only bitter and mean, it is no longer humor.Zhang Chang said that if the husband and wife have more than thrushes, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty will not be held accountable. This is the humor of Emperor Xuan.People in Zheng said that Confucius was independent of the Guomen, "Tiredness is like a bereaved dog." Zi Gong told the truth, Confucius smiled happily and said, "The shape is not yet, but it is like a bereaved dog, yes! Yes!" This is the humor of Confucius.2. Humor is not funny, it is just a way to dazzle people with strange words, it is just that the point of view of the author is different from that of others.When a humorist looks at the world and observes things, he must first have another eye, refuse to follow the rules, fall into the stereotypes of others, and then make speeches, which are naturally novel.Because of its novelty, people think it is funny.If there is no difference in the argument, it is absurd and absurd. It is not enough to be humorous if we scrutinize words and sentences.There is truth in being funny, and this is what it means.Those who are funny in Chinese language always show people absurdity first, and those who can rarely show both solemnity and humor are extremely childish in art.The Chinese are the most humorous. Although they are brave enough to fight privately, they must pay back every grievance. They lack a humorous attitude, but are afraid of public anger. All state affairs, empty words on paper, bureaucratic articles, social regulations and public laws, are all laughed at. This is the special humor of China.China's eternal downfall is the loss of this humor.Chinese literati have humor, such as Su Dongpo, Yuan Zicai, Zheng Banqiao, and Wu Zhihui. They have unique insights.The goal of the publication is to promote humor, but it is mixed with banter, but my generation is not good at this, and the qualifications are still far behind.In addition to introducing Chinese and foreign humorous words, I just want to persuade myself with the four words "joy but not abuse".
