9、际上是一种用喜剧的形式来表现悲剧内容的新的文学形式。“黑色”是指可怕而又滑稽的客观现实；“幽默”，是指有自由意志的个性对这种现实所采取的嘲讽态度。在英语里，“黑色”常用来形容阴暗、神秘的事物，作为死亡的代名词。“黑色”“幽默”加在一起，即是阴惨凄凉、悲观绝望的幽默。,11,教育资料,Black humour,通俗地解释黑色幽默的定义和性质：某个被判绞刑的人，在临上绞架前，指着绞刑架询问刽子手：“你肯定这玩意儿结实吗？” 因此黑色幽默又被称为“绞刑架下的幽默”。黑色幽默并不表现一种单纯的滑稽情趣，而带着浓重的荒诞、绝望、阴暗甚至残忍的色彩。,12,教育资料,Black humour,我们可将其理

10、解为“绞架下的幽默”。有这样一个美国民间笑话：在一个对死囚执行绞刑的日子，绞架旁聚集了大批观众。可是囚犯迟迟未来。监刑人、刽子手和人群已开始不耐烦。终于，狱卒押着囚犯来到刑场。囚犯看到人们焦急贪婪的目光不禁笑了，他得意地说：“没有我，你们什么也干不成。”看到绞架旁的人群，囚犯却是大笑。这就体现了与传统描写的大不同。它是企图把内心无形的恐惧，变成有形的大笑。它使人发笑，但却未能带来愉悦，因为在滑稽背后隐藏着痛苦和不幸，这会让人哀怨和恐惧。可以说，幽默和恐惧的相互融合和渗透就是黑色幽默的本质。,13,教育资料,Sample 1,14,教育资料,Sample 2,15,教育资料,那年我们家很穷。 穷的没有饭吃。 但是，我家有一根火腿。 每次吃饭，家里人就看着
