30、掉了它的简朴性，而浸染习俗，熟悉世故的人们不再回到天真淳朴的境地时，文明就会到处充满困扰，日益退化下去。于是人类变成在他自己所产生的观念、思想、志向和社会制度之下的奴隶，担荷这个思想、志向和社会制度的重担，而似乎无法摆脱它。幸而人类的心智尚有一种力量，能够超脱这一切观念、思想、志向而付之一笑，这种力量就是幽默家的微妙处。幽默家运用思想和观念，就像高尔夫球或弹子戏的冠军运用他们的球，或牧童冠军运用他们的缰绳一样。他们的手法，有一种因熟练而产生的从容，有着把握和轻快的技巧。总之，只有那个能轻快运用他的观念的人，才是他的观念主宰，只有那个能做他的观念主宰的人，才不被观念奴役。严肃终究不过是努力的标记

31、，而努力又只是不熟练的标志。一个严肃的作者在观念的领域里是呆笨而局促的，正如一个暴发户在社交场中那样呆笨而不自然一样。他很严肃，因为他和他的观念相处还不曾达于自然。幽默感滋养着这种思维的简朴性，这是很自然的事。一般地说，幽默家比较接近事实，而理论家比较注重观念，当一个人跟观念本身发生关系时，他的思想会变得非常复杂。在另一方面，幽默家沉浸于突然触发的常识或智机，它们以闪电般的速度显示我们的观念与现实的矛盾。这样使许多问题变得简单。不断地和现实相接触，给了幽默家不少的活力、轻快和机巧。一切装腔作势、虚伪，学识上的胡诌、学术上的愚蠢和社交上的欺诈，将完全扫除净尽。23Be humorous!Have a great life!
