Constantly changing, updating and evolving, the English language is a fascinating entity that's seen words such as 'avo' and 'bougie' weave their way into everyday vocabulary lately.
英語是一種迷人的存在，它不斷變化、更新、演變，最近它又見證了“avo”（分，澳門輔幣名稱）和“bougie”（探針）等單詞被應(yīng)用于人們的日常交流中。

The ability of certain words to positively affect your mood is a curious topic, so thought-provoking that researchers from the University of Alberta decided to explore it in great detail.
能夠?qū)δ愕男那楫a(chǎn)生積極影響的單詞是一個很奇特的話題，這些詞非常發(fā)人深省以至于阿爾伯塔大學(xué)的研究員決定詳盡地探索一下這個主題。

“Humour is, of course, still personal,” says Chris Westbury, a psychology professor at the university.
“當然，幽默感依然得看個人，”該大學(xué)的一位心理學(xué)教授克里斯·韋斯特伯里說道。

“Here, we get at the elements of humour that aren't personal; things that are universally funny.”
“從這項研究中，我們找到了不針對個人的幽默元素，也就是人們普遍認為有趣的事物?！?/div>

This allowed them to determine which words were deemed as being funnier than others, whether that be due to a word being particularly unusual or simply sounding funny when said out loud.
這使他們可以確定哪些詞會比其他詞讓人們覺得更有趣，不論是因為這個詞非常特別，還是因為大聲說這個詞的時候聽上去會比較有趣。

After bottling it down to 10 words, Westbury concluded that the funniest words in the English language are: 'upchuck', 'bubby', 'boff', 'wriggly', 'yaps', 'giggle', 'cooch', 'guffaw', 'puffball' and 'jiggly'.
在篩選出10個單詞之后，韋斯特伯里得出結(jié)論，英語中最有趣的詞是“upchuck”（嘔吐）、“bubby”（乳房）、“boff”（盡情的大笑）、“wriggly”（蠕動）、“yaps”（狂吠）、“giggle”（傻笑）、“cooch”（扭肚舞）、“guffaw”（哄笑）、“puffball”（馬勃菌）和“jiggly”（搖晃的）。

So, next time you're with some friends and telling an entertaining anecdote, why not try throwing a few 'guffaws' or 'puffballs' into the conversation?
所以，下一次你跟朋友在一起講到一件有趣的事情的時候，為什么不嘗試著在對話中加入幾個“guffaws”或“puffballs”這樣的詞呢？

Who knows - perhaps you'll reinvent yourself as a comedy genius.
天曉得，也許你會把自己重塑成一位喜劇天才呢。
