如何用英语写幽默故事
【写作任务】
某英文网站开展了主题为“Humorous Stories”的征文活动，请你用英语写一则幽默故事，然后向该网站投稿。
注意：词数120左右。
_______________________________________
_______________________________________
_______________________________________
【写作指导】
一、审题定调
幽默故事是记叙文的一种，但不同于普通记叙文，一般较简短，描述的是片段情景，语言简洁幽默、具推理性，让人读后不禁开怀大笑。
二、谋篇布局
第一部分：介绍故事发生的情景；
第二部分：描述故事发生的过程；
第三部分：抖出“包袱”，把故事推向高潮。
三、技巧点拨
幽默故事对事情本身的描述常符合常规思维习惯，但故事的结尾用奇特的逻辑思维或幽默的语言出其不意地点出其违背常理的地方，从而达到幽默效果。
写幽默故事时，除了设置出人意料的结局外，双关语也是常用的手段，使语言幽默含蓄、辛辣讽刺、耐人寻味。
根据不同特点双关主要分为：语音双关、语义双关、歧解双关和延伸双关。
1.语音双关。
I was arrested at the airport. Just because I was greeting my cousin Jack! All that I said was “Hi, Jack!”, but very loudly.
2. 语义双关。
An old couple who are in their late seventies often went shopping by car. One day their neighbor asked the old lady, “Who drives in your family ” The old lady answered, “Both of us do. I drive the car and he drives me crazy.”
3. 歧解双关。
“I want a good, bright boy to be partly indoors and partly outdoors,” said the shopkeeper.
“That’s all right,” said the applicant. “But what becomes of me when the door slams shut ”
4. 延伸双关。
—I’m worried about my daughter. She keeps being chased by the doctor.
—Has she tried an apple
【范文展示】
Two hunters, Otis and Elmer, got a pilot to fly them into the Canadian wilderness where they managed to bag two big deer.
As they were loading the plane to return, the pilot said the plane could take only the hunters, and one deer. The hunters disagreed, saying, “Last year we shot two, and the pilot let us take them both ... and he had exactly the same airplane as yours.” Finally the pilot gave in and everything was loaded.
However, even under full power, the little plane couldn’t handle the load and went down, crashing in the wooded wilderness.
Somehow, Otis and Elmer survived the crash. After climbing out, Otis asked, “Any idea where we are ” Elmer replied, “I think we’re pretty close to where we crashed last year.”
