Discussion
1. What’s behind fun
Not all humour is kind. Although we also laugh when we see someone slide on a banana skin, it’s really dangerous to those who slide on the banana skin, especially to those old people. So when we think about it we will find it’s not funny.
2. Why did people like The Little Tramp
3. Do you think Chaplin’s eating boiled shoes funny Why
Because it gives people courage to overcome difficulties.
Yes. Because he made the terrible situation “real” for his audience.
And he was able to show the humanity and kindness in the most difficult circumstances.

Explanation
1. Do you find it funny to see someone sliding on a banana skin, bumping into someone else round a corner, or falling down a hole in the road
你看到有人被香蕉皮滑倒，或看到有人在拐角处撞倒另外一个人, 或有人掉进路 边一个洞里时, 你会觉得滑稽可笑吗？
1) it在句中作形式宾语，动词不定式to see…the road才是真正的宾语。当动词不定式作句子的宾语，同时有一个形容词或名词作宾语补足语时，常用it作形式宾语。如：
I’ll make it my business to help her.
我会把帮助她作为我的责任。
Do you consider it wise to tell them about it
你觉得告诉他们明智吗？
We consider it useless arguing with him on that point.
我们认为在那点上与他争论是没有用的。

动词的-ing形式作宾语补足语。
