 ng & Using It  流利说英语：认识讽刺和使用它</a>\nSarcasm is 
 when we say something which is the opposite of what we actually mean. If y
 ou can use properly use sarcasm in English\, you are well on your way to s
 peaking like a native speaker. This is what they don't teach you at school
 ! Sarcasm is so common in English that it's become not only a form of come
 dy but a language unto itself. How comfortable are you with understanding 
 and using sarcasm in English? Do you get it when a native speaker is being
  sarcastic or do you feel like you're the only one not understanding the j
 oke? If you said the second\, you're not alone! _x000D_ _x000D_ The truth 
 is most second-language speakers\, especially East Asians\, have a very ha
 rd time understanding when a Westerner is being sarcastic. The good news i
 s that once you get it\, you just get it\, and then a whole new world open
 s up to you! So\, in this club\, we want you to walk out getting it!_x000D
 _ _x000D_ Let's understand how sarcasm works. Let's play around with it. L
 et's even practice for situations where we don't catch the sarcasm and let
 's practice using sarcasm to get us out of the awkwardness. This is real E
 nglish. This is real communication. It's not what's on the exam but it is 
 certainly what's in almost every casual conversation. Let's have some fun 
 with real\, eloquent English and sarcasm!_x000D_ _x000D_ 讽刺是指我
 们所说的与我们真正想说的相反的话。如果你能在英语
 中恰当地使用讽刺，你就能像母语人士一样说话了。这
 是学校里不会教你的!讽刺在英语中很常见，它不仅是一
 种喜剧形式，而且本身就是一种语言。你是否能自如地
 理解和使用英语中的讽刺?当一个以英语为母语的人在讽
 刺你的时候，你能理解吗?还是你觉得你是唯一一个不懂
 这个笑话的人?如果你的答案是第二种，那么你并不孤单!
 _x000D_ _x000D_ 事实上，大多数说第二语言的人，尤其是东
 亚人，很难理解西方人的讽刺。好消息是，一旦你认识
 到了它，那么你就会懂了，然后一个全新的世界向你敞
 开了大门!所以，在这个俱乐部里，我们希望你走出去了
 解它!_x000D_ _x000D_ 让我们来了解一下讽刺是如何起作用的
 。我们来试一下。让我们甚至练习一下在我们听不到讽
 刺的情况下，让我们练习用讽刺来摆脱尴尬。这才是真
 正的英语。这才是真正的交流。它不会出现在考试中，
 但它肯定会出现在几乎所有的闲聊中。让我们用真实的
 、实用的英语和讽刺技巧来找点乐子吧!
