Unit 3 a taste of English humor导读：英国人的幽默用看似轻描淡写的几句话，让全场会心一笑，事后还能不断回味。笑，并非许多中国人所想的那样，只是人生一瞬，只是逗个乐子，而是隽永的，多角度的，能够弥漫整个社会的一种精神，一种生活，一种享受。你了解英国人的幽默吗？Fun seems to be the possession of the English race.

The entire house resounds withit. The father comes home and the whole family contribute to the amusement; puns, humorous uses of words, little things that are meaningless nonsense, if you like, fly round, and everyone enjoys them thoroughly for just what they are.
