英语翻译
Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch,and Bill is going on and on about computer technology.“If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the,past few decades,you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8,and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour,” says Gates.“Or,you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas.In either case,the sticker price（标价） of a new car would be less than $ 50.Why haven’t you guys kept up?”
The president of GM smiles and says,“Because the federal government won’t let us build cars that crash four times a day.“
Why is that funny （or not funny,as the case may be）?Human beings love to laugh,and the average adult laughs 17 times a day.Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter.Jokes,sitcoms and comedies are all designed to get us laughing,because laughing feels good.For us it seems so natural,but the funny thing is that humans are the only species that laughs.Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.
Laughter is a great thing--that’s why we’ve all heard the saying,“Laughter is the best medicine.” There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease.When we look at laughter--what it is,what happens in our brains when we laugh,what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier,there’s a huge amount about it that no one understands yet.

比尔盖茨和通用汽车的总裁在一起吃午饭,比尔在讲关于计算机技术的话题.盖茨说：“如果几十年后汽车技术能与计算机技术同日而语,你就不会只开着V-8而是每小时最高时速1,0000英里的V-32 了,或者你会拥有一辆价值30英镑的经济型坐骑,一加仑油跑一千英里.无论哪种情况,一辆新车的标价都会低于50美元了.为什么你们这些家伙就是赶不上我们呢?”
通用总裁笑着说：“因为联邦政府不允许我们制造一天撞毁4次的汽车.”
为什么这个笑话好笑（或者有人觉得并不好笑）?人类喜欢笑,成人平均每天要笑17次.人类对笑的热衷产生了那些围绕着笑声的行业.笑话,连续剧,喜剧都旨在让我们发笑,因为笑让我们感觉良好.笑对我们来说再正常不过,但是有趣的是人类是唯一会笑的生物.笑是一种很复杂的反应,它涉及到很多解决问题时会用到的技巧.
笑是一件美好的事情,所以我们常听到这样一句言语：“笑治百病.”有证据显示笑确实可以促进健康并且帮助抵御疾病.当我们对面着笑——它是什么,当我们笑时大脑发生了什么,什么使我们发笑,它怎样使我们更健康、更快乐,大量的问题存在着,却没有一个人能够理解它们.
