　　What is humor? It is not the performances of a clown who attempts to entertain others, nor is it simply making fun of others. Humor is the wisdom and resourcefulness that can alleviate an awkward situation. Life inevitably brings disappointments, setbacks, and failures. If our endurance in the midst of frustrations is not sound, anxiety and panic can overtake us. If one has a sense of humor, however, one can mentally adapt to the changing conditions in a wise and healthy manner. ��

　　Humor can reduce distress and unhappiness by creating a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. While stiff expressions make others uncomfortable, smiles and wit can soften anger, relieve depression, and comfort a broken heart. Humor can foster better communication and understanding, and therefore not only brings happiness to oneself, but also, and perhaps more importantly, gratifies others. A sense of humor can certainly increase one's popularity. ��

　　Humor can clearly be of much help to our work, study, and life as it is beneficial to our physical and mental health. Not everyone one has an innate sense of humor, however. A sense of humor is usually acquired in relation to others. In order to develop a sense of humor, one must have an open mind and the ability to deal with unpleasant events and people. Humor also requires a broad spectrum of knowledge and optimistic thinking.

　　什么是幽默？它不是小丑企圖取悅別人的表演，也不僅僅是拿別人來尋開心。幽默是緩和尷尬局面的智慧和機智。生活中避免不了失望、挫折和失敗，如果我們承受挫折的忍耐力不夠，焦慮和恐慌就會主導(dǎo)我們的身心。但如果一個人有幽默感，他就能用一種明智而健康的方式在心理上適應(yīng)變化的環(huán)境。��

　　幽默通過創(chuàng)造一種愉快而友好的氣氛來減輕不幸和苦惱。僵硬的表達讓別人不舒服，微笑和機智卻能熄滅怒火、減輕沮喪、撫慰絕望。幽默能促進更好的溝通和理解，因而不僅把快樂帶給自身，而且更重要的還能讓別人感到高興。幽默感確實能提高一個人受歡迎的程度。��

　　因為幽默有益于我們的身心健康，所以對我們的生活、工作、學(xué)習(xí)無疑都大有幫助。但沒有人是生來就有幽默感的。幽默感通常是在人際交往中形成的。為了培養(yǎng)幽默感，一個人必須有開放的心胸和接受不愉快的事物的能力。幽默還需要有寬廣的知識面和樂觀的心態(tài)。

　　范文2：�オ�

　　A sense of humor is universally considered the most valuable asset in our personality. It is born within every person's heart, but it has to be cultivated.A person without a sense of humor is just like a spring without flowers or a dish without seasoning. In a sense, your personality lies in your sense of humor.

　　Humor can enhance physical as well as mental well�瞓eing. It helps us bare our burdens, reduce tension, helps us overcome our frustrations, relax our muscles, and dissolve countless trifles and irritations offered by day�瞭o�瞕ay life.

　　With the cracking of a joke, all of our worries and sadness disappear like mist and we are full of vigor once again. Besides, humor helps us live in harmony with others. With it you can always stay on good terms with others. ��

　　One way to cultivate a sense of humor is to have a wide range of knowledge about many topics so that the slightest differences in meaning of a joke can be fully understood; otherwise we would be simply at a loss in such a situation. Another crucial point in developing a sense of humor is to have a rich imagination. Nothing can be worse than the lack of imagination to kill an otherwise funny joke. ��

　　A sense of humor is one of the ways in which we relax and recreate ourselves. The things we find humorous may vary, but to have a sense of humor is very important and should be cultivated to get the most out of life.

　　幽默感被公認為是人的性格中最有價值的私有財產(chǎn)。它是與生俱來的，但也需要后天的培養(yǎng)。一個人如果沒有幽默感就像春天沒有花朵，一盤菜沒有調(diào)料。從某種意義來說，你的個性來自于你的幽默感。��

　　幽默能夠提高我們的身心素質(zhì)。它能夠幫助我們減輕壓力、緩解緊張、笑對挫折、放松身體、化解日常生活中的瑣事和憤怒，它能化干戈為玉帛。隨著一聲玩笑，所有的苦惱、悲傷和疲勞都會煙消云散，讓我們再次充滿了生機和活力。此外，幽默還有助于我們與他人和睦相處。有了它,你就會時常與他人保持良好關(guān)系。��

　　培養(yǎng)幽默感的一個途徑是眾多的話題都要有廣博的知識，往往幽默是在細微之處見精神，只有擁有廣博的知識才能懂得幽默；否則，我們在面對別人的幽默時就會不知所措。另外，培養(yǎng)幽默感時，同樣關(guān)鍵的一點是要有豐富的想象力。缺乏想象力則會置幽默于死地。

　　幽默感是我們放松和娛樂的途徑之一。 幽默可能因事而異，但至關(guān)重要的是要有幽默感，而且應(yīng)該積極培養(yǎng)之，以期生活更加豐富多彩。
