as funny
or
comic
and
is more about showing that you see the humour in a situation, than actually
making people laugh out loud. Comic is used to talk
especially about writing and drama or things that are funny in a deliberate and
theatrical way. It is not used to describe people (except for comic writers). Funny can describe people,
jokes and stories, things that happen, or anything that makes people laugh. * humorous 语气不.如 fimny或comic强，圭要表示明白情景中的滑檜之处，
而非实际使人大笑。comic尤指作品、戏剧、事物等故
意营造的戏剧性的滑稽可笑，但不用以描述人（喜剧作 家除外）。funny可形容人、笑话、故事、发生的事情以
及任何使人发笑的事物。
