4、国内读者的英语笑话，所有内容都来自原版读物，原汁原味、语言地道、幽默诙谐、趣味盎然、令人捧腹。这些笑话虽然类型不同、题材各异，但都贴近时代和生活，可读性强。本书在编写过程中并没有采用中英文对照的方式，因为中外在文化背景上有很大的差异，很多英语笑话只能意会、无法言传，无法用中文反映其中的意境。书中只是对于较难理解的词语，另加了“注释”，以便读者更好地理解。本书适合各种水平的英语爱好者在消遣娱乐的同时提高英文水平之用。本书由王勋、刘新玲主编，参加编写的人员还有沙玉新、周河、安枚、刘建平、方茂、汤华、成枫、周雄方、李汤灵、张经峰、赵越、田德明等。由于编者水平有限，书中难免不妥之处，衷心希望广大读者批
