The art of light and humorous eloquence: satire

Bad words often arouse the antipathy of the other party, which makes the communication unable to be carried out effectively and can't achieve the purpose of speaking at all. On the contrary, it can turn decay into magic, make good medicine no longer bitter, and advice no longer unpleasant? Persuasion can be deeply rooted in people's hearts, alert people, argue according to reason, take only the main points and break through the ground. But words are not offensive, but they accomplish their mission in a relaxed and humorous way.

The famous host Murphy and his friends went to a coffee shop for coffee. When the coffee was served, the coffee shop owner recognized Murphy. So he politely asked Murphy to give some advice to the coffee shop. Murphy looked at the coffee on the table. Almost half a cup, so I smiled and said to him. I have an idea. You can sell two more cups of coffee at once. ? The boss quickly asked:? What method? Murphy said that? All you have to do is fill the glass. ? Hearing this, the boss smiled shyly.

Murphy expressed his views sarcastically and humorously? The amount of coffee is too small, but it doesn't embarrass the boss. Instead, it makes the atmosphere look lively, harmonious and brilliant. Irony, that is, irony, means that what you say is exactly the opposite of what you actually want to express. On the surface, it is praise, but in fact, it is derogatory, and on the surface, it is affirmation. This is a humorous way of speaking. When commenting, expressing dissatisfaction and criticizing people, irony can euphemistically express a person's true meaning, which not only makes the words subtle and interesting, ups and downs, but also produces surprises? Laugh? , it can make the listener realize its meaning without disgust, and it is pleasant to listen to.

Writer Zhao Shuli has always disapproved of arbitrarily deleting traditional plays with a rude attitude, making them neither fish nor fowl. On one occasion, he went to see the new drama Liu Yichuan and found that this traditional drama imposed a lot? New content? Liu Yi, who ventured to Dongting Lake to deliver books to save the Dragon Lady, can reveal the relationship between exploitation and exploitation between landlords and farmers, and also lead farmers to struggle with landlords and so on. After the play, someone asked Zhao Shuli what he thought, and Zhao Shuli asked. Did Liu Yi join the Party? Then he said solemnly:? If not, we will discuss his joining the Party, and the title of the play will be changed to "Liu Yi Joining the Party". Comrade Liu Yi has a clean history, a good composition, a clear stand and a high level of consciousness, which meets the requirements for joining the Party. He should be absorbed as party member. ? Hearing this, everyone laughed, marveled at Zhao Shuli's satire, and agreed with his original opinion from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Shuli brought the characters in literary works into reality and the ancient characters into the real society. Did Liu Yi join the Party? Irony is an irresponsible act of arbitrarily deleting traditional plays. Through the transformation of time and space, the unique things of the moment are moved to ancient times, or the ancient times are moved to the present, which creates a sharp contrast and makes the criticism hit the nail on the head and go straight to the point. This is an ironic method. Because the text is humorous and full of wisdom, it will not cause tension.

Cui Ge from North America went to Beijing to perform. Someone asked him, I heard that you are not a full-time talk show actor in America? Brother Cui replied:? Yes, my talk show is particularly amateur, because I have lived in a particularly amateur country for many years. An amateur embryo and a third-rate actor in this broken country of the United States can be mixed into a president, and an immigrant with a muscular background can be mixed into a California governor. Hanging out with such a group of amateurs all day, how can you not be an amateur? The reporter asked:? You have been living in America. What do you think of some rich people in China? Brother Cui said with a smile, I never thought that in my lifetime, real estate in Beijing would be more expensive than that in new york. As an overseas Chinese, I feel particularly excited. We China people have finally stood up. It never occurred to me that in my lifetime, I can see that in the big casinos in the United States, hardly speaking English, they are all run by our compatriots in China. My national pride suddenly rose. Unexpectedly, an international student of 18 arrived in the United States on the first day, bought a BMW on the second day, crashed on the third day and bought another one on the fourth day. Seeing this news, I cried excitedly, and the motherland finally became rich and strong. ?

With the language style of his talk show, North American Cui Ge praised the talent flow mechanism in American society and satirized the upstart faces of some people in China. It is a common irony method to tell in the form of shortcomings, advantages and disadvantages, and achievements, highlighting these advantages, advantages and achievements. Such satirical and humorous language gives people a refreshing feeling, which makes what the speaker wants to praise clearly appear in front of the audience, leaving a deep impression and gaining subjective recognition.

Rob, starring Peter, broke the highest box office record in British film history, which made director Ricky famous and he began to get high. Unexpectedly, his cooperation with his wife Madonna's "The Wandering of a Bad Woman" actually attracted bad reviews. Not convinced, he felt that someone was behind the scenes, so he personally went to the audience to make an investigation. He asked the audience: What do you think of the vagrancy of evil women? The audience said:? Very good! Everyone says that your movies always think what the audience thinks, which is very in line with the audience's appreciation level. ? Ricky asked puzzled:? But I heard that when there was a movie here, it was almost gone before it was finished. Why? The audience said:? Because of the ending of the film, the audience expected it long ago. It was only the director and the audience that made me feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn. ?

The audience is a master of satire. On the surface, he praised the director every word, but in fact he euphemistically belittled and hit the nail on the head. His words are very interesting and make people laugh. In daily conversation, some words are difficult to say or inconvenient to say directly. Frankly speaking from the opposite angle, hiding sharp words and turning around in circles can not only soften the meaning, but also express your own views implicitly, which can not only resolve the embarrassment of the other party, but also facilitate the listener's acceptance, and it will be humorous if used properly.

We often say that the bitter taste of good medicine is good for illness, but the advice at the most unpleasant time is good for action. But not everyone can listen to harsh words. On the other hand, unkind words will often arouse the antipathy of the other party, which will make the communication unable to be carried out effectively and will not achieve the purpose of speaking at all. And the opposite of telling the truth can turn decay into magic, so that good medicine is no longer bitter and advice is no longer unpleasant? Persuasion can be deeply rooted in people's hearts, alert people, argue according to reason, take only the main points and break through the ground. But words are not offensive, but they accomplish their mission in a relaxed and humorous way.
