讲到幽默感，我平时爱看外国talk show，比如肥伦秀。主持人在不经意间的幽默总能让你会心一笑。但是幽默不是一件容易的事。憨豆先生拍摄了无数让人捧腹大笑的影视剧，但是自身却是有抑郁症、平时少言寡语。
PART ONE THOUGHTS
Humor is not a separate organism that can survive on its own frail metabolism.
Zinsser谈到写幽默是认真的，幽默并不是一堆杂乱的夸张语句。
大多数幽默建立在基本的事实之上。抓住写好的直接的好的英语的技巧。不要研究古怪和轻蔑的观点，多接触点你所知道真实的有趣的。幽默是建立在惊喜之上的，当你觉得惊喜时你的读者也会感受到。
同时还要把握幽默的度。
