By the study, the author proposed that in an ideal condition, to interpret verbal humor, the procedures of English humor interpretation perhaps consist of five steps: forming a presupposed ending about the punch line when interpreting the set-up part of the joke, coming across an unexpected reply when reading the punch line part, realizing being misled by the speaker and felling more curious about the intentional meaning of the speaker, reinterpreting the joke to derive the implication of the speaker and inferring the attitudes of the speaker.
通过研究,本文作者认为在理想状况下,幽默的理解过程也许由五个步骤组成:通过对幽默铺垫部分的解读产生预期妙语句,妙语句的出现使读者产生意外之感,意识到被幽默讲述者误导而产生对言者意图的更大的好奇心,在好奇心的驱使下重新阅读前文某些部分或者全文以抽取言者的隐含意,最终推导出言者通过讲述这则幽默笑话所要表达的他本人的观点和态度。
