雅思口语话题精读:occasion a person or sth that made you laugh

很多备考雅思的同学一看到An occasion a person or something that made you laugh这个话题，首先想到的是微博上的各种搞笑段子和dirty jokes。这个思路没有错哦，因为让我们回想一个发生在自己身上的事，还真是有点儿困难，因为很多时候乐完了就忘了…… 反倒是那些笑话，由于我们见人就讲，印象就越来越深刻……

下面就来看看当年那个经典的笑话----“叫你丫的不戴帽子”。

Well, this topic reminds me of the joke my friend told me the other day. It was hilarious and it really cracked me up.

It’s a story between a rabbit and a wolf. One day, the rabbit bought a cute hat, and on her way back home, she met the wolf who always gives her a hard time. The wolf hit the rabbit on the head real hard, saying, ‘Why are you wearing a hat?! / What the hell are you doing with a hat?!’ So the next day, the rabbit didn’t dare to wear the hat again, but when she ran into the wolf, the wolf hit her again, asking, ‘Where’s your damn hat?!’ The rabbit got confused and didn’t know what to do. So she went to the tiger to find justice. However, the tiger was actually on the wolf’s side, and he told the wolf not to bully the rabbit in such an obvious way, ‘You need to come up with a good reason to find fault with her. For example, tomorrow, you could ask her to pick flowers for you, if she got the red ones, you can hit her and say why don't you pick the yellow ones, and vice versa. You can also ask her to bring hot girls to you, if she brings you a fat lady, then you can punish her and ask her why don’t you find me a slim one?!’ However, they didn’t know the rabbit was just outside the door and heard everything.

So the next day, when the wolf asked the rabbit to pick flowers, she asked, ‘Red ones or yellow ones?’ The wolf was surprised, and he kept asking, ‘Find me a girl!’ And the rabbit asked, ‘Fat one or slim one?’ The wolf hesitated for a second and punched her hard on the head, asking, ‘Where’s your damn hat?!’

So you see, this is a really side-splitting/funny joke.

另外，当年费玉清老司机也给大家讲过一个好玩儿的笑话，就是“你追到我”减肥系列，网上也有相应的英文版，大家可以用起来。不过要注意一点，这种有重复情节的故事，在讲的时候一定要注意语言的多变，否则很容易给人一种“句式单一、记流水账”的感觉。

例如在介绍第一天的场景的时候，可以说：

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 pounds weight loss program. The next day, there’s a knock on / at the door and there stands before him a voluptuous (attractive in a sexual way with large breasts and hips), athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduced herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, “If you can catch me, you can have me.”

Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing (to breathe in a noisy way because you are very tired), he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 pounds, as promised.

那么在叙述第二轮情况的时候，就可以换一下对减肥教练的描述：There stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. 在表述“毫不犹豫就追上去”这个感情色彩时，用He’s out the door after her like a shot. 来替换上面的without a second thought, he takes off after her. “like a shot”表示very quickly and without hesitating. 当介绍“接下来的四天同样的事情发生了”的时候，用same routine替换same thing. 还有“他非常高兴的发现自己成功减肥”时，用much to his delight替换前文的he’s delighted to find. 等等。

这样的话，在grammar和lexical resource部分的分数肯定是不会低的。
