★ 3th English sense of humor
1
The famous English sense of humor is similar. Its starting-point is selfdispraise, and its great enemy is conceit. Its object is the ability to laugh at oneself---at one’s own faults, one’s own failure, even at one’s own ideals. The criticism, “He has no sense of humor” is very commonly heard in Britain, where humor is highly prized. A sense of humor is an attitude to life rather than the mere ability to laugh at jokes. This attitude is never cruel or disrespectful or malicious. The English do not laugh at a cripple of a madman, or a tragedy or an honorable failure. 著名的英国式幽默感也与此相似， 著名的英国式幽默感也与此相似， 其出发点是自贬，其大敌是自负。 其出发点是自贬，其大敌是自负。 其目的是能够自嘲——嘲笑自己 其目的是能够自嘲 嘲笑自己 的错误，自己的失败， 的错误，自己的失败，甚至自己 的理想。在英国， 的理想。在英国，幽默感受到高 度重视，经常听到“ 度重视，经常听到“他没有幽默 这样的评论。 感”这样的评论。幽默感是对生 活的一种态度， 活的一种态度，而不仅仅是一听 到笑话就能够开怀大笑。 到笑话就能够开怀大笑。这种态 度决不是冷酷，决不是无礼， 度决不是冷酷，决不是无礼，决 不是恶毒。 不是恶毒。英国人从不嘲笑残疾 人或精神病人， 人或精神病人，也从不会对一件 悲惨的或虽败犹荣的事情幸灾乐 祸。

He seems quite human when you know him.
★ 2th modest
• Closely related to English reserve is English modesty. Within their hearts, the English are perhaps no less conceited than anybody else, but in their relations with others they value at least a show of modesty. Self-praise Selfis felt to be impolite. If a person is, let us say, very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player, he will seldom reply “Yes,” because people will think him conceited. He will probably give an answer like, “I’m not bad,” or “I think I’m very good,” or “Well, I’m very keen on tennis.” (i.e. I’m very fond of it.) even if he had managed to reach the finals in last year’s local championships, he would say it in such a way as to suggest that it was only due to a piece of good luck
On the other hand, they are perfectly human behind their barrier of reserve, and may be quite pleased when a friendly stranger or foreigner succeeds for a time in breaking the barrier down.
