不风趣的

If I had the power to give humor to the nation I would not give them drollery, for that is impractical; I would not give them wit, for that is aristocratic, and many minds cannot grasp it; but I would be contented to deal out fun, which has no intellectual element, no subtlety, belongs to old and young, educated and uneducated alike, and is the natural form of the humor of the Englishman.

如果我有权给予此民族幽默的特质，那么我就不给予他们诙谐的本领，因为那不切实际；我也不给予他们风趣的风格，因为那过于贵族派头，以致多数人无法理解；我要心满意足地给予他们逗乐儿的本事，即不分智力高下，没有隐晦曲折，无论老少或受教育与否都能享受的英国式的自然幽默。

我写这书的时候，他们藉着贡献和忠告，给我以特殊的帮助，第八世纪的白居易，第十一世纪的苏东坡，以及十六、十七两世纪那许多独出心裁的人物——浪漫潇洒，富于口才的屠赤水；嬉笑诙谐，独具心得的袁中郎；多口好奇，独特伟大的李卓吾；感觉敏锐，通晓世故的张潮；耽于逸乐的李笠翁；乐观风趣的老快乐主义者袁子才；谈笑风生，热情充溢的金圣叹——这些都是脱略形骸不拘小节的人，这些人因为胸蕴太多的独特见解，对事物具有太深的情感，因此不能得到正统派批评家的称许；这些人太好了，所以不能循规蹈矩，因为太有道德了，所以在儒家看来便是不"好"的。
