Abstract This essay starts with a story about Christie’s collections at his home from around the world that he collected during his field research. The postcard from Australia on an Aussie Gentlemen fits into his description of Australians in the jokes as “coarse Australians”. Christie explained the Essexgirl jokes in London and I learned the importance of contexts hidden behind the jokes such as socio-cultural characteristics, mobility and social division in UK. Christie’s analysis of the Japanese jokes about stupidity revealed the prototype of ethnic jokes in Japan.From the episode at his home in Reading I will reflect on his father’s influence on his humor research.

从 JCH Davies 和他的家庭收藏中学到的幽默教训

摘要 本文首先讲述了佳士得在他的家中在他的田野调查中收集的来自世界各地的藏品的故事。澳大利亚绅士的澳大利亚明信片符合他在笑话中将澳大利亚人描述为“粗鲁的澳大利亚人”。Christie 在伦敦解释了 Essexgirl 的笑话，我了解到隐藏在笑话背后的背景的重要性，例如英国的社会文化特征、流动性和社会分裂。克里斯蒂对日本愚蠢笑话的分析揭示了日本民族笑话的原型。从他在雷丁家中发生的那一集，我将反思他父亲对他的幽默研究的影响。
