趣味英语第238期:如何在搞笑时刻保持严肃表情

Avasquez4:

Avasquez4问道：

"How do you keep a straight face during a funny moment?"

“如何在搞笑时刻保持严肃表情？”

Laugh! It's a funny moment. Laugh!

笑吧！这是开心的时刻。尽情笑吧！

You have to control your face. That's all.

你必须控制你的面部表情。就是这样。

You're asking the wrong person 'cause I laugh at the most serious moments.

你问错人了，因为我在最严肃时刻也能笑出来。

Zone out of the moment. Just stare at something else.

移开目光。盯着别的东西看。

Don't look directly at what is funny and it has a little less impact that way.

不要直接看搞笑的画面，这样影响会小一些。

Breathing out really good because it totally relaxes you, like when you're meditating¹.

呼气的确是不错的方法，因为这会让你完全放松，就像冥想时一样。

Punch your leg or bite your tongue. That's probably the best way to do it.

拍打自已的腿或咬自已的舌头。这可能是最好的办法。

What I do is I bite the side of my cheeks. I go like that, but it's less obvious.

我的方法是咬自已的脸颊。我会这样做，但这不太明显。

Bite your cheeks like...and just keep telling yourself, "It's not that funny. It's not that funny."

像这样咬自已的脸颊，不断告诉自已，“这没那么好笑。这根本不好笑。”

When I do it in my head, I'll be like this: "Don't smile, don't smile, don't smile, don't smile, don't smile." In my head, when it's funny, I'll be like...

我会在脑海中对自已说“不要笑，不要笑，不要笑，不要笑，不要笑”。在我的脑海中，搞笑时刻我就会这样……

Think about something very, very, very serious.

想想非常非常非常严肃的事情。

Be as sad as you can and you won't smile or laugh.

尽你所能地悲伤，这样你就不会笑了。

Just think of bad thoughts.

想想不好的想法。

There's no way to keep yourself from laughing. You might just have a little...(snickers) Like...(snickers) And everyone looks at you, but you can be like, "Yes? I laughed. Do you have problem with that?"

没办法让自已不笑。你可能会……（偷笑）像这样……（窃笑）然后所有人都会看你，但你可以说“怎么了？我笑了。你有意见吗？”
