启引：『自嘲是最能化解僵局，去除尴尬的，可使原本沉重、严肃的气氛刹那间变得轻松愉快。在别人嘲笑你之前，先嘲笑自己，是玩幽默时最安全的方法。敢于把开玩笑的矛头指向自己，是需要一点勇气和豁达的心境的，因此常常会产生意想不到的效果。第一次发现自己能够嘲笑自己的时候，就是成长的开始。』
"Self-deprecation is the best way to resolve the impasse, remove embarrassment, can make the otherwise heavy, serious atmosphere instantly become relaxed and pleasant." Laughing at yourself before others laugh at you is the safest way to play humor. It takes a little courage and open-mindedness to dare to point the finger at yourself, so it often has unexpected effects. The first time I found myself able to laugh at myself, it was the beginning of growth. 』
在别人嘲笑你之前，先嘲笑自己，是玩幽默时最安全的方法。敢于把开玩笑的矛头指向自己，笑自己无能，谈自身缺憾，这在人人都抢着维护自尊的年代是需要一点勇气和豁达的心境的，因此常常会产生意想不到的效果。

一位太太听说骑马对减肥有效，于是不迟到不早退地骑了三个月。结果马瘦了10斤，她1斤也没瘦。她把这个尴尬的结果讲给朋友听，还说古时候形容“美人上马马不知”，如今她骑上去却是“肥婆上马马不支”。她的自嘲让人不禁佩服她的胸襟开阔，彼此很快拉近了距离。
A wife heard that horse riding is effective for weight loss, so she didn't get late or leave early for three months. As a result, the horse lost 10 pounds, and she didn't lose 1 kilo.

Her self-deprecation made one admire her open-mindedness, and she quickly distanced herself from each other.
自嘲是最能化解僵局，去除尴尬的，可使原本沉重、严肃的气氛刹那间变得轻松愉快。当总统时，里根访问加拿大，有人举牌抗议他到访，加拿大总统有些不好意思，倒是里根用机智解了围：“我想这些人是从美国来的，想使我有宾至如归的感觉。”

Public figures sometimes like to make friends by mocking their looks. American comedian Henry Youngman joked: "When I was born, the doctor didn't hit me on the ass, but on my mom's ass because she made me ugly."
