<< review queue entry 66022 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> No dictionary or example of usage that I've seen implies that it can be a person ("a laughingstock"). LA ~ 因粗心大意或缺乏常識、經驗使得舉止言行失措，引人發笑。 如：「他初到臺灣，常因不懂國語而鬧笑話。」 TP 當然，眼睛看不見有時難免要鬧笑話。例如：逛百貨公司買衣服，在模特兒身上摸半天，發現竟是真人；搭計程車，車門打開往裡頭一坐，車裡的乘客還沒下車……，諸如此類的「笑話」，在視障朋友間流傳，聽來笑中帶淚。 Of course, sightless people sometimes get themselves into funny situations, too. For example: While shopping for clothes in a department store, a blind person runs his hands over a mannequin for ages before realizing that it's a living person; or, ducks down to climb into a taxi before those already in the taxi have had a chance to get out. When they tell each other such jokes, the blind don't really know whether to laugh or cry. 老師父還會給他喝上一杯拜過戲神的茶水，據說登台後就不會怯場或鬧笑話了。 it was said that drinking this tea would keep the rookie from getting stage fright and pulling a major blooper. J He considered himself much too high-minded ever to get himself involved in a scandal. 辛楣自信是有道德的君子，断不闹笑话。 He was only in his early twenties yet already making such a fool of himself. What would happen when he was thirty or forty? 自己才二十多岁，已经这么闹笑话，赶到三四十岁的时候，应当怎样呢？ He was quite capable of doing something ludicrous like that. 他会闹这种笑话的。 |
