美文听写:幽默的意义
humor can save your life The story goes that a certain court jester went too far one day and insulted his king. The king became so infuriated he sentenced the jester to be executed. His court prayed upon the king to have mercy for thes man who had served him well for so many years. After a time, the king relented only enough to give the jester his choice as to how he would like to die. The jester replied,"If it's all the same to you, my Lord, I'd like to die of old age." Certainly in this case, a good sense of humor saved the man's life.
这是关于一个宫廷小丑的故事。这天，他故事讲的有点儿过头，得罪了国王。国王非常恼怒，下令将其处死。他的同伴求情，希望国王能够饶过这个服侍他多年的人。后来，国王有些心软了，但只是让他选择如何死而已。小丑回答说：“陛下，如果您不反对的话，我愿意老死。”无庸质疑，出色的幽默感救了这个人的性命。
