IWhat’s So Funny?
Let’s have a good Iaugh!
want to look for my missing watch, but I can never find time! Are you laughing? That was a joke. Many jokes are puns, like this one. The expression “find the time” normally means making or using time to do something. But in this joke, I actually can’t find the time because my watch is missing. A pun uses words with many meanings or words with a similar sound to create humor. “A bicycle can’t stand on its own because it’s two-tired” is also a pun. “Two-tired” sounds just like “too tired.” Using and understanding puns requires a degree of cleverness
The English language joking tradition often starts by prepping the audience with a question. Some of these questions start with particular phrases, such as “Did you hear about …?” or “What do you call a …?” Most English speakers know a joke usually follows these phrases. Sometimes just asking the question gets a few giggles
A good joke can brighten someone’s day and make them laugh. Learn a few today, and share them with your friends!
PracticalUsage
Let’s have a good laugh!
片語 have a (good) laugh 有「大笑，盡情地 笑」的意思。通常是因為某事滑稽可笑又有趣， 讓人忍不住放聲大笑之意。不過，have a laugh 視情況也有「一笑置之」的意思。
• Instead of getting angry over the practical joke, everyone decided to just have a laugh.
Your turn
文化／語法補充
＊ 跟大家分享的是一種美國人講笑話的形 式， knock knock 也就是敲門的動作，講話 話的那個人會先說 knock knock ，你就要回答 who’s there? 誰在敲門，這個時候，他會發揮創 意，可能說 Doris，是 Doris 在門外，你就要回 答，Doris who?（_______ who?），哪個 Doris？ 他可能很無厘頭地說 Door is open. 也就是門已 經打開了，跟上下文的脈絡完全不搭嘎，只不過 接起來很順，聽起來也很俏皮而已，而這就是笑 點！很多東方人聽不懂這樣的美式笑話，或是覺 得一點都不好笑，您覺得呢？

Part 1
Reading Strategy
Vocabulary 單字量
若說“精進英文閱讀理解力的關鍵取決於單字量多寡”，相信沒有人會反對。的確， 在閱讀英文文章時，總會因遇到不懂的單字而停下查閱，耗費時間不說，也無法真正融入
文章情境和享受閱讀的樂趣。因此，“如何增加英文單字量?”一直是英語學習者最常提 出的問題。
那麼什麼才是“有效增加單字量”的方式呢？學習者可以試著跳脫傳統單一學習單字的 印象：[expression (n.) 語詞] 從一個英文字應對一個中文意思，進而透過多層次的角度來 學習並真正認識一個單字。在眾多可以檢視單字的方式中，本章節有以下兩個要點切入：
1. 拼法與發音— 初次看到一個單字時，我們本能地會將它唸出來，那麼要唸得出來， 就要試著從拼法上面去揣摩發音。因此，拼法和發音可以說是相輔相成的。所幸， 現今有眾多的線上字典（例：https://dictionary.cambridge.org/zht/ ）可供查閱，也 可以聽到單字的英式與美式發音。建議學習者可善加利用。
2. 詞性與多個中文意思— 一個單字的詞性不同，字尾會改變，意思也會有些許差異， 甚至在發音的重音都有可能隨之改變。因此，要徹底地瞭解一個單字，這些差異也 應一併考量。比方說：
— expression是“名詞”，為“語詞，表達，措辭”之意。
— express作“動詞”，為“表示，陳述”之意。[註]
— expressive是“形容詞”，為“表情生動的，富表達力的”之意。

閱讀策略 閱讀實力打底
[註] express 一字視前後文而定，也有可能當名詞、形容詞，或副詞使用。比方 說：express delivery 便為“快遞”之意，此時express便是形容詞。
3. 單字造詞— 真正認識一個單字，包括要瞭解其用法，比方說：
— Facial expression 面部表情
— Express train 直達車
— Expressive eyes 眼睛會說話
由此可以清楚地看出，單字並非一個蘿蔔一個坑帶入一個中文意思就好，而是要多面 向地瞭解其所有用法，才算真正學會。
