and what we actually-- what actually happens unless the outcome is frightening."

除非结果是令人恐惧的"
Now, this is a fair effort.

这是一个不错的成果
It is about as wrong as anything can be wrong in any possible way.

这个猜想彻头彻尾是错误的
The first thing is it doesn't really explain "Why?"

首先它完全没解释为什么
So, why should a non-frightening incongruity

为什么一个非恐惧性的不一致
cause people to make a distinctive loud noise consisted of staccato

能引起人们发出独特的声音这声音是断断续续的
segments of one fifteenth of a second each separated by a fifth of a second?

每节十五分之一秒相隔十五分之一秒呢
It doesn't explain why we make that loud noise when dealing with incongruity.

它没有解释为什么在处理不一致时我们会发出巨大的声音
It's not the case that incongruity causes laughter.

笑声并不是由不一致引起的
If there was a bowl of fruit up there as you walked in, it'd be incongruous

当你走进教室发现这里有一大碗的水果这是不一致的
but people wouldn't shriek with laughter and point to the fruit.

但你们不会对着水果尖声狂笑
It's also--a lot of laughter isn't caused by incongruity

有很多笑声都不是由不一致引起的
