面無表情的損人。練 deadpan、自嘲，以及每一句都是段子時，那句真心為什麼更重。

🎯 聽之前

A comic actor who made a career out of looking unimpressed. Practice deadpan: short sentences, fake seriousness, and insults that are clearly a game.

  • Where is the joke: the words, or the flat delivery?
  • Does he punch up at fame, or at himself?
  • How fast does a sincere sentence appear inside the roast?
  • Listen for show-business nouns: set, note, bit, hosting.

💬 重點句 6

先讀英文，想一下意思，再點「翻譯」。按 🔊 聽一次，然後跟著唸。

  1. Deadpan is a joke told with a straight face so you have to decide if he means it.
  2. The insult is a costume. The affection is the fact that he stayed for the story.
  3. If every line is a bit, the sincere one hits harder.
  4. Hosting is the job of making the other person look quick.
  5. He roasts the industry and then admits he is glad it hired him.
  6. A punchline without a person under it is just noise.

  • Write a deadpan sentence about your own week. Keep a straight face in the grammar: no exclamation mark.
  • When is a roast still a game, and when has it become harm? Give the line that changes it.
  • Describe a time one sincere sentence surprised you inside a joke.
