英语翻译
‘A joke is not a thing but a process,a trick you play on the listener’s mind.You start him off toward a plausible goal,and then by a sudden twist you land him nowhere at all or just where he didn’t expect to go.’----Max Eastman

答案

笑话,是一个过程,一种技巧,作用于听众的思维.引导他走向一个似是而非的目标,然后你忽然扭转方向,将他带回原点或是他意想不到的地方.
——Max Eastman
