Chapter 119: No Inner Ghost, Let's Have an American Joke
"Jiang, I think you should study in the United States."
Jessica and Jiang Yulou exchanged pleasantly for a while and put forward their own suggestions.
"Oh, why? I know that the United States is strong and technologically advanced, but why should I study abroad in the United States? ”
"In addition to what you mentioned, the United States is more liberal and equal, and you can live a good life as long as you work hard."
Apparently, Jessica also has her own American dream.
"Do you know, Jiang, although Huaguo is very good, he is too depressed and disciplined too much, unlike the United States, which has so much fun."
"Depressed? I don't think so. Jiang Yulou shrugged his shoulders and said: "You know, our country is still relatively poor, adults are working hard to build the motherland, students are studying hard, and everyone has their own division of labor." When our country is rich and strong, and the people are rich, in our spare time, we will also dance to the disco and find a place to travel and vacation every year. ”
"Maybe you have a point, but I still think my peers should be more lively. You know, a few Chinese students I know have a straight face every day, and they look very stressed, even if they are joking, their expressions still don't change. ”
After a few months of studying abroad, Jessica was also not very satisfied.
"Maybe the joke you said didn't make it to the point of laughing." Jiang Yulou explained: "Different countries, different cultures, and different jokes. For example, if you think it's funny, my classmates will just think it's a bad joke. ”
"Jiang, you're so smart, you must be very good at telling jokes, right?" Jessica stuck out her tongue and complained: "Do you know, in just a few months after coming to China, I have a feeling of isolation, no TV, I can't watch my favorite programs, even the news...... Oh god, I'm going to go crazy without any nice jokes. ”
Jiang Yulou was stunned, "Telling a joke? ”
Although the school teacher said that he would try his best to meet the requests of foreign friends, he told jokes...... This was something he had never considered.
"That's right, didn't you say you're good at writing books? Jokes should also be your forte. Jessica paused, pinched her chin and said, "The teacher taught an idiom...... It's an idiom, right, when you call your hand, you can take it over, that's what it means, right? ”
Jiang Yulou said an idiom in Chinese, "What you want to say is to catch it......"
"Ah, yes, yes, Jiang, you're smart!" Jessica nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Yulou frowned and said, "But you don't necessarily like the jokes I tell." ”
"The teacher said that as long as we don't ask too much, we will be met at the exchange meeting." Jessica laughed "sinisterly".
Jiang Yulou said helplessly: "Okay, I have to think about it." ”
"I'm looking forward to it." After Jiang Yulou agreed, Jessica suddenly became excited.
After recalling a little bit of the American jokes he had seen in his previous life, Jiang Yulou knew it in his heart, and he said slowly:
"Politicians are guest speakers at golf club dinners.
When the politician stood up to speak, several people saw it as an opportunity and snuck to the bar.
An hour later, while the politicians were still talking, another person joined them.
"Is he still speaking?" They asked him.
"Yes." The other replied.
"What the hell is he talking about?"
"I don't know, he's still introducing himself." ”
"Hahaha! It's so funny! Although Jessica was already very restrained, her whisper still alarmed the two tables next to her.
"Hey, Jessica, what's so funny?"
"Oh my god, it's been a long time since our Jessica has laughed like this."
Two of Jessica's international student friends, a man and a woman, are also American. The two noticed her laughter and approached curiously.
"It's Jiang, I've never heard the jokes he tells before, it's really funny!"
Jessica covered her mouth with one hand and her stomach with the other, laughing so hard that tears were about to come out, and it could be seen that she had endured it very hard.
"What's the joke?"
It's not easy to make them laugh at their jokes, and it's in English.
"That's ......," Jessica said the joke Jiang Yulou had just told.
"Wow, Cool!"
"Great joke, I dare say, I haven't heard such a funny joke in the United States before I came to study in China."
Two American students praised.
The two Yan University students could understand Jiang Yulou's joke, but ...... Is this funny?
They don't have any laughing points at all.
Jessica exclaimed: "Jiang, I can't believe you haven't been to the United States, this joke of yours is not really American people can't understand it at all." ”
Seeing that their exchange partners were still in a state of confusion, the two American students explained: "This is a standard American satirical joke, and the satire is American politicians......"
After some explanation, the two Yan students were even more confused, are American politicians like that? Otherwise, how could it appear in a joke and be so identified by a few international students from the United States?
Their three views have been impacted, and they will not be able to ease up for a while.
Seeing this, the other two international students no longer paid attention to the exchange partner, but came to Jiang Yulou's side, and the four of them chatted about everything.
Jessica and the others are happy to chat with Jiang Yulou, one is because of his surprising level of spoken English, and the other is his humor and wisdom.
Ah, what a changeable person.
Sometimes he speaks thought-provokingly, like a philosopher, and sometimes he makes jokes laughing to death, which makes people fascinated and can't help but want to know more about him.
On the podium, the teacher in charge of this activity was reading the script, and it was fine at first, but gradually the laughter from the audience became louder and louder.
Finally, the teacher couldn't take it anymore, and instead of reading the script, he looked at the audience, and he wanted to see who was making the noise.
"Ah, is it Jiang?"
The teacher couldn't have imagined that the student who made trouble turned out to be Jiang Yulou.
With a black face, he walked over to see what they were talking about, and he was smiling so exaggeratedly.
"Ginger, ginger, tell another joke."
"yes, your joke is so funny, I can't remember the last time I laughed so well."
"Jiang, you are simply a master of humor, I have become your fan."
Several international students clamored.
"Okay, then I'll say one more, the last one." Jiang Yulou thought about it, but decided to tell an American political joke:
"James who works at City Hall meets his old friend John, whom he hasn't seen in years.
"John, how are your parents doing?"
"Oh, my old friend James, my parents are long gone."
"How so? I received a ballot in the mail from them last week. ””
"Ah, hahaha, I'm laughing to death, Jiang, I think you must be an American, otherwise how could you tell such a funny American joke."
