2023理解强化练习及解析（16） If you intend usinghumor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify sharedexperiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience andshould help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand theirsituation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom youare addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a groupof managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries;alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment ontheir disorganized bosses。 Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses convention,of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view ofdoctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. Hesees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on.Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line forlunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, whorushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table byhimself. Who is that? the new arrival asked St. Peter. Oh, thats God, came thereply, but sometimes he thinks hes a doctor。 If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will bein a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all ofyou and itll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about theinedible canteen food or the chairmans notorious badtaste in ties. With other audiences you mustnt attempt to cut inwith humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks abouttheir canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick toscapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system。 If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that itbecomes more natural, include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarkswhich you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often its thedelivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember thata raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making alight-hearted remark。 Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist ona familiar quote If at first you dont succeed, give up or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration andunderstatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences whichyou can turn about and inject with humor。 21.
