我們上一期講到美式幽默，但有時(shí)我們還是很難get笑點(diǎn)，那今天我們就聊一聊如何能聽(tīng)懂美式幽默。

1 . 我們有時(shí)很難get美式笑點(diǎn)的原因：

Every culture's funny bone is tickled a different way.It's hard for you non-Americans to see why our jokes are funny.

funny bone: 笑點(diǎn)

tickle：胳肢，使發(fā)癢

laugh at the weakest joke.說(shuō)一個(gè)人笑點(diǎn)低

3 . 如果明白其中訣竅就能欣賞美式幽默，那訣竅是什么呢?
