4 Z, g0 d0 f. Q( H1 p8 Zbtw, have you ever thought about the difference between sarcastic and ironic?

Here is what I found:
Ironic-------When you make an ironic remark, you say something that you do not mean, as a joke; if you say that it is ironic that something should happen, you mean that it is odd or amusing because it involves a contrast.
% U$ o1 t! I  _' _( t, Y! \4 ISarcastic---------Someone who is sarcastic says or does the opposite of what they really mean in order to mock or insult someone.

& {( F6 [1 i. c& |( ~Based on the above explanation,  being ironic is more polite than being sarcastic.

! |) _5 g. l% b( M关于这两词的区别，我有一个更好的解释跟你分享、:
$ @4 F5 R7 c5 ]2 bQuite often sarcasm is mistaken for irony; however, sarcasm is a form of irony which uses sharp wit to highlight the obviousness, stupidity, or annoyance-factor of a situation. One main difference between irony and sarcasm is that irony is generally observed and sarcasm is generally created (i.e. spoken, written).

% Q, z3 r# [4 u* q4 n6 b- d用中文言简意害得说就是：irony是存在的讽刺现象。sarcasm是人创造的讽刺意味。

共进共进！我最得天独厚的学习条件就是家庭妇女有闲工夫瞎看书，小时候就爱胡乱看书，结果高中把这瘾给借了，家庭妇女后才慢慢拣回来

我是小时候没有条件看书，没的可看，有点看的都是手抄本（你没看过吧？还是年轻啊！），后来升学，上班时间也不多，不过还是得机会就乱看。我最享受的时刻是买到一本喜欢的书，也许是小说也许是谁的传记什么的，自己一个人在家里，窝在舒服的沙发里，旁边在放上喜欢吃的零食，一边吃一边看，没有人打扰的一口气看完。
