题目

take the piss out of the whole thing是什么意思?
电影《日落之前》的一句台词.
详细摘录如下：
Female reporter: And...do you think they get back together? I mean, did you, in real life?
Jesse: (Sighs.) Did I real...(Sighs again, then smiles.) Look, see, in the words of my grandfather, OK...to answer that, would take the piss out of the whole thing.

答案

take the piss out of something可以理解为蠢事、搞笑的事的意思.在这个情景下,Jess说的可能是用我们家老太爷的话来说,这个问题的答案,是整件事中最搞笑的部分了.
