The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their 61 . The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying 62 than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often 63 in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.

They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they 66 and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British 67 Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk 68 and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the 69 world cannot do.
