@主持人沈婷 :钱钟书的《说笑》一文深刻探讨了笑与幽默的内涵,他认为真正的幽默是能反攻自笑的,并非所有笑都代表幽默。文章通过丰富的例证和深刻的洞察,揭示了幽默与笑之间的微妙关系,以及幽默在文学和生活中的重要性和复杂性,让读者在轻松愉快的阅读中对人生有了更深的思考和认识。 @吴周(翻译) :钱钟书指出,自从幽默文学提倡以来,‘卖笑’变成了文人的职业,但笑并不等于幽默。亚里士多德认为,人是唯一能笑的动物,笑是为了表达幽默,但并非所有的人都具备幽默感,所以并非所有笑都代表幽默。大多数人并非因为有幽默感而笑,而是借笑来掩饰他们缺乏幽默。提倡幽默反而会造成矫揉造作,丧失自然流露的幽默感。真正的幽默是自然流露的,不能大批生产,也不能当成职业。真正的幽默是能反攻自笑的,它对人生和幽默本身都有幽默的看法。假装某种事物通常出于两种动机:尊敬或利用。假幽默就像掺了铅的银子,声音沉闷呆板。 吴周(翻译):钱钟书认为,真正的幽默是能反攻自笑的,它对人生和幽默本身都有幽默的看法。提倡幽默,做一个口号,一种标准,正是缺乏幽默的举动。真正的幽默是自然流露的,不能大批生产,也不能当成职业。真正的幽默者,他的笑是发自内心的;而假装幽默的人,他们的笑只是为了取悦别人。幽默至多是一种气质,不能当成主张或职业。假幽默就像掺了铅的银子,声音沉闷呆板。
