Humor is a skill that can be met but not sought. People who have it can always make people laugh, and those who don't impose imitation. Either painting a tiger is not a dog, or it is counterproductive.
Everyone likes happiness and hates sadness, so a humorous person is more liked by others, and so is writing. A humorous writer can always have more readers.
Lu Xun seems to be a serious moralist, but he actually knows the way of humor. In "Hometown", when he described the thin and long "tofu beauty" Yang Er's sister-in-law, he wrote:
Compass, an exotic product, was not very popular in Lu Xun's time. But whether you know it or not, I'm afraid only Lu Xun can equate compasses with people.
This metaphor was refreshing at first, but later it was extremely appropriate and a little funny in it. Finally, I felt a pretence of my sister-in-law Yang Er.
Lu Xun's humor is prickly, which makes people think deeply after laughing, thinking about themselves or others?
Chekhov is also a humorous person. In his novel Distress, he describes Yao Na, a coachman at the bottom of society who just lost his son.
Yao Na wants to talk to someone about his troubles. As a result, the customers in his car either thought he was bored or didn't listen carefully. Some of them wrote:
Chekhov's humor comes from the deformation and exaggeration of characters' posture, language and behavior. Two thin people, a camel, are funny enough from the look and feel, and then look at their behavior of grabbing seats, the way they talk, and they all laugh.
But obviously, the writer's humor undoubtedly reflects Yao Na's inner pain and makes the fate of the characters more miserable.
I don't think I'm an old-fashioned person, but I also think it's easier to say humor than to write. The reason for this is that the humor of the text is highly demanded, and it is difficult for a slightly dull person to be humorous; Secondly, there is only one way of writing humor, while verbal humor can fully mobilize tone, body, expression, action, dialect and other ways.
When I say a word in class, I just need to make my tone strange and make my classmates smile. In the worst case, if I imitate the expression, posture, movements and even his speech of the characters in the text, it is easy to mobilize the cells of joy.
But this does not mean that the above methods can be used at any time. Sometimes the tone sandhi is better, sometimes the action is better, and sometimes the expression is blunt to achieve the effect. In short, it depends on the facts.
There are many channels to express humor when speaking, but this only increases the probability. It is useless for a rigid person to put all his tools in front of him. George W. Pinkley once said that even if I don't talk, standing on the stage can make people laugh. This is talent and difference.
The humor of the article tests people's ability, and most of them are not humorous for the sake of humor; It is easier to be humorous when speaking, but it is mostly limited to humor itself.
