American humour 美式幽默 CALVIN TRILLIN made his reputation over fourdecades as the author of US Journal in the NewYorker, reporting extensively about serious andoften tragic subjects such as race relations andcrime. He was also among the first writers to grasp that American cuisine is a good way tounderstand the nations vigorous and various cultures. But Mr Trillin is incapable of resistingthe temptation of comedy. The jokes kept on welling up and Mr Trillin made a parallelreputation as a writer of funny stuff. 卡尔文.特里林作为《纽约客》美国日报作者享誉盛名四十余载，广泛的报道种族关系和犯罪这类严肃而悲痛的题材文章。他是首位发现美国烹饪是了解美国朝气而丰富文化的良好途径的作家之一。但是特里林无法抗拒喜剧的诱惑，创作出许多笑话。因此，他也因创作滑稽有趣的作品而享有同等声望。 He belongs to a tradition that included distinguished journalists such as Art Buchwald in theWashington Post, and Russell Baker at the New York Times. Each might regard the idea asrisible, but their ability to deflate the reputations of self-important politicians and men ofbusiness makes classy moralists of them. 他是一位传统派作家，还有华盛顿邮报和纽约时报著名的资讯记者阿尔特?布克沃尔德和拉塞尔贝克。每位想法独特有趣，而他们有能力减少高傲政客和商业人士的声望和影响力，因此他们可称为优秀道德家。 |
