Do Old Folks Still Appreciate Humor?

年纪越大欣赏幽默的能力会减弱?
Maybe when people get older, sense of a humor is the first thing to go.
也许,当人们年纪渐长,就越觉得幽默感至上。
Actually, research suggests that old folks, if they’re healthy, can still appreciate humor as much as a younger person can.
事实上,研究表明,老人们如果身体康健,他们仍然和年轻人一样欣赏幽默。

They still smile and laugh when they get the joke.

别人讲笑话时,他们还是会忍俊不禁或仰天大笑。
However, there is evidence to suggest that with age we may lose our ability to comprehend more complex forms of humor.
然而,有研究证实,随着年龄的增长,我们可能会丧失理解较复杂的幽默形式的能力。
Scientists believe that the tools we need to get a complex joke are primarily located in the brain’s frontal lobes.
科学家相信,理解复杂笑话的区域主要位于大脑额叶。
People with damage to their right frontal lobe experience difficulty getting punch lines and prefer slapstick humor instead.
右额叶受损的人很难理解笑话中的妙语,他们更倾向于闹剧式的幽默。
