It
53、 can be difficult to determine what aspects of culture define a certain sense of humor. A nations wit is linked to the historical development of the country. How funny somebody finds a certain incident depends on many factors including age, personal experience, level of education, and geographical l

Therefore humor is something that is not always acceptable to another country or culture.What somebody from one area finds funny may not be amusing at all to somebody from another location. Whether or not somebody gets the joke is determined by their interpretation, which is, in turn, influ

Their brashness and swagger are laden with equal portions of self-deprecation. This is their license to hand it out._Passage A第45页English humor vs. American humo
60、r: Is there a difference?But irony is not the foundation of American humor.
