Is it true that we British people have a different sense of humor from people in other countries? Let's have a look at what we laugh at in(1) .

The fact that we laugh when other people might feel (7) is one of the strangest things to learn about British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony (反讽). After some terrible experience,we might say, "Not very(8) . " And we might say in the middle of a typhoon," It's a bit windy today." Or"There is a tiny problem,"when something has gone(9) wrong. We don't like to express strong feelings, but just "keep calm and carry on".

Do you think the British sense of humor is special?
