笑是最流動、最迅速的表情,從眼睛里泛到口角邊。笑的確可以說是人面上的電光,眼睛忽然增添了明亮,唇吻間閃爍著牙齒的光芒,我們不能扣留住閃電來代替高懸普照的太陽和月亮,所以我們也不能把笑變?yōu)橐粋€固定的、集體的表情,經(jīng)提倡而產(chǎn)生的幽默,一定是矯揉造作的幽默。幽默不能提倡,也是為此。一經(jīng)提倡,自然流露的弄成模仿的,變化不拘的弄成刻板的。
Smile is the most fluid and rapid facial expression, spreading from eyes to the corner of the mouth. Indeed, it is the light on the face, with which the eyes look brighter all of a sudden and the teeth between lips shine more. Just as we are unable to keep the lightning as the replacement of the sun and the moon high in the sky illuminating everything, we can’t transform the smile into a fixed and collective expression. Once advocated deliberately, the natural humor becomes artificial. That is why humor isn’t something that can be promoted either. Otherwise, the spontaneous would turn out to be the imitated, and the flexible would be the rigid.
