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 fun as well as making people laugh and can be used to describe events, activities and occasions: an amusing party/game/evening • a funny/humorous/comic party/game/evening. Humorous 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/actors). Funny can describe people, jokes and stories, things that happen, or anything that makes people laugh.Patterns
