humor

💡 记忆钩子

把 humor 想成一个人的“心情和幽默频道”：频道状态好，表示心情不错或有幽默感；作动词时，则是先顺着对方这个频道，让对方把话说下去。

📝 学习建议

humor 是美式拼写，英式英语通常写作 humour；两者意义相同。
不要只把 humor 理解成“笑话”或“幽默感”，作名词时也能表示人的心情，作动词时常表示“姑且顺着某人”。

📖 中文释义

noun

core 心情；幽默感

📖 humor 的核心概念是人的“情绪或幽默频道”。在谈心情时，它表示一个人当时的情绪状态；在谈表达方式时，它表示让人发笑的幽默感。

💡 常用模式是“be in a good/bad humor”或“be in a ... humor”，表示“心情处于……状态”。表示“幽默感”时通常不加冠词，也通常不用复数。不要机械地把所有 humor 都译成“幽默”，因为描述人的状态时它更接近“心情”。

US alt-of uncountable usually

She was in a good humor after hearing the news.

听到这个消息后，她心情很好。

His humor makes even difficult meetings easier.

他的幽默感让即使很难熬的会议也变得轻松一些。

humors plural

verb

core 顺着；迁就

📖 作动词时，humor 就是暂时调到对方的“频道”上：即使你不完全相信，也先按对方的想法配合一下，让对方继续说或感到被重视。

💡 常用模式是“humor me”，意思是“先顺着我一下”，也可以说“humor someone by doing something”。这个词常带有轻微的调侃或不完全认同的语气，不等于真心同意对方。

US alt-of

Humor me and try this plan for one week.

先顺着我一下，试试这个计划一周。

He humored his daughter by listening to the whole story.

他顺着女儿，听完了她讲的整个故事。
