funny, amusing, humorous or comic?用 funny、amusing、humorous 还是 comic？
Amusing is the most general of these words because it includes the idea of being enjoyable as well as making people laugh and can be used to describe events, activities and occasions. * amusing 在这组词中最通用，既表示逗人笑，也表示好笑、有乐趣，可用以形容事情、活动和场合：◆an amusing party/game/evening充满乐趣的联欢会/游戏/晚会◆a funny/humorous/comic party/game/eveningHumorous is more about showing that you see the humour in a situation, than actually making people laugh out loud. Comic is used especially to talk 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 更多表示明白情景中的有趣之处，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（comic writers 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。
