资料题:Which story has no particular point( )。

发布时间:2021-02-19

A.The humorous story

B.The witty story

C.The comic story

D.All three

参考资料

The humorous story may be spun out to great length, and may wander around as much as it pleases, and arrive nowhere in particular; but the comic story and the witty story must be brief and end with a point.The humorous story bubbles gently along; the other two burst.The humorous story is strictly a work of ant and only an artist can tell it; but no ant is necessary in telling the comic and witty stories; anybody can do it.The art of telling a humorous story-I mean by word of mouth, not print- -was created in America, and has remained at home.The humorous story is told gravely; the teller does his best to conceal the fact that he even dimly suspects that there is anything fumy about it; but the teller of the comic story tells you beforehand that it is one of the funniest things he has ever heard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh when he gets through.And sometimes, if he has had good success, he is so glad and happy that he will repeat the"rub" (要点) of it and glance around from face to face, collecting applause, and then repeat it again.It is a pitiful thing to see.
