滑稽的

I get letters from Vanity Fair,Cosmopolitan etc.asking me for stories,articles,and serials,butam publishing nothing for six months or a year（afew stories sold to Scribner's the end of last year and one funny article out） because I know thatnow is a very crucial time and that it is much moreimportant for me to write in tranquility,trying towrite as well as I can,with no eye on any market,nor any thought of what the stuff willl bring,oreven if it can ever be published——than to fall intothe money making trap which handles American writers like the cornhusking machine handled mynoted relative's thumb .

我收到《名利场》、《世界主义者》等刊物来信约我写短篇小说、文章、连载，但我最近六个月或者可以说这一年都没有发表作品（年底为斯克里布纳的刊物写过几个短篇小说和一篇滑稽文章），因为我知道，现在是非常关键的时候，对我来说，安安静静地写作，尽可能写得更好，既不关心市场，也不考虑金钱能带来什么，甚至不考虑我的作品是否能出版——这一切比落入操纵美国作家们的赚钱陷阱重要得多，这个陷阱就像玉米脱壳机夺去了我那著名的亲戚的拇指。

Murray's brief but expansive diatribe on the meaning of generic foods is comical, but it marks one of the novel's first attempts to establish the supermarket as a place where the world's vast mysteries can be decoded.

穆雷的简短而膨胀谩骂的含义一般食品的滑稽，但它标志着一个新的第一个试图建立超市作为一个地方，世界上广阔的奥秘可以解码。

Jarhead (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows "Swoff", a third-generation enlistee, from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the next horizon.

1991年的沙漠风暴行动，记忆中不那么荒诞的一场战争。迅速，高效，正义，没死多少美国人。。但在这部片子里，滑稽乃至荒诞解构了战争。海军陆战队士兵，20岁的大学生斯沃夫和他的战友们，在阿拉伯的沙漠中一个敌人也没遇到。

By disdaining the facetiousness that informed nearly every other fantasy (and most other kinds of Hollywood--type movies), The lord of the Rings located a narrative and emotional grandeur that had been mising nearly as long as the ring that carriers Middle Earth's destiny and Frodo the Hobbit's doom.The digital effects woek, however imposing, built on the achievemets of generations of Hollywood techniciams.

指环王》撇除了几乎所有的幻想作品（以及大部分好莱邬式电影）都具有的轻率滑稽元素，营造出情绪上的高潮以及故事情节上的波澜壮阔，而这一切，在好莱邬电影里已经小时了很长一段时间，就象牵动着中土世界命运和哈比人Frodo的魔戒一样，遗失了好几个世代。

You don't, however, have to take responsibility for the joke, its wit or funniness or tact or potentially insulting or demeaning content; when you submit it we understand you offer it as an example of what this person thought was funny in this circumstance.

你不用为这个笑话的风趣﹑滑稽﹑机智﹑潜在的无礼或贬抑的内容而负责，当你提交这个笑话的时候，我们理解你是因为此人认为某情形下该笑话有趣而提供的。

We will then show how the ridiculousness of speech is born from the misunderstandings of similar words for different things and different words for similar things, from garrulity and repetition, from play on words, from diminutives, from errors of pronunciation, and from barbarisms.

然后，我们还要示范语言的滑稽来自一词多义和多词同义的误解；来自喋喋不休与反复重复；来自双关语与小词缀的使用；来自发音的错误和粗俗的用法。

And lest you think that such an objection could only be raised by simple folk who read nothing but harlequin Romances, let me tell you that one of the questions most frequently asked at universities is "Why do you write about things that are so depressing?"

万一你以为这种反对意见只可能是那些头脑简单的老百姓提出来的，他们除了滑稽轻松的言情小说之外，其它文学作品都没念过，那么让我告诉你一个大学里师生最经常提的问题："为什么你要写那些叫人感到压抑的事呢？"

The makers are keen to stress with a some jocularity, that it is not of course the camera that can decide if the situation in question is about to spiral into criminal deviance - it is only the camera operator that can weigh up the evidence and make this 'human' decision.

该生产商热衷于强调了一些滑稽，这不是当然的摄像头，可以决定是否局势的问题是关于升级到刑事越轨-它是唯一的相机操作，可以衡量的证据，使这个'人'的决定。

We doodlers, fidgeters and whisperers always get the same jokey, passive-aggressive line from the authority figure at the front of the room:"I'm sorry, are we bothering you?" How droll.

我们这些涂鸦的人，搞小动作的人和爱嘀咕的人总是能得到站在房间前面的权威人士不变的滑稽、被动性攻击的话语："对不起，我们烦到你们了吗？"

Not a day goes by when another woe-is-me bleeding heart comes along, someone who's taken his wide-eyed, romantic visions, and his operatic way with a tune, and made them farcical or lily-livered.

没有一天不出现新的"我太悲惨了"风格的悲哀情歌，还有那些模仿他视野广阔的浪漫歌词，或者是模仿他歌剧式的发声方法结果却画虎不成反类犬，把自己的声音弄得要么滑稽可笑要么胆怯虚弱的人。
