 從林語堂《無所不談》 From My Window (1966) 說起:Howard Chang 張華《讀者文摘》小笑話三則1983/84;林語堂《無所不談 笑話得很》1965

 :該笑話還記得否?
我正要介紹林語堂談的笑話,可否拿來用。林等當初在中央日報介紹"很文人型:的笑話。換句話,笑話很多類。


無意中發現1983年三張讀者文摘的稿費通知。短短不到100字的笑話有1500元稿費,現在看起來還是很高。多年後我成為他們的譯者

《讀者文摘》小笑話三則
─1983舊作
數字中文
一位美國數學系的研究生來台搜集中國古代數學發展的資料,朋友請我代為招待。他是首度來到東方,也沒有學過中文,可是竟在短短半小時內學會寫錯綜複雜的「張」字─而且還是草書。驚訝之餘,不免向這位天才請教。他說:
「這沒有什麼,我只是用一筆把三又四分之十三(3 13/4) 這個數字寫出來而已。」
─張華(《讀者文摘》1983.9)

象形英文
美麗的女學生請一位國語流利的美國來華留學生為她取個洋名。
「請問你貴姓 ? 」
「呂,雙口呂。」
留學生沉思片刻,然後提筆寫了一個英文名字:Kissinger。
─華(《讀者文摘》1983.10)

最近偶患小恙,到醫院去就診,無意中發現病歷表上「性別」一欄填的竟是一個「公」字。等醫生開完藥方後,我向護士小姐提出抗議:
「我又不是動物,怎麼可以寫成『公』的 ? 」
護士小姐瞄了病歷表一眼,甜甜一笑,說:
「你不是動物,我們寫的也不是中文。」
原來表上面填的是男性的國際符號「♂」,卻用「公」字的筆順寫出來,妙的是陰陽絲毫不爽。
─張華(《讀者文摘》1984.1)
