- A& i5 e! ?6 rbtw, have you ever thought about the difference between sarcastic and ironic?

Here is what I found:
/ p" I3 S* K4 |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.
Sarcastic---------Someone who is sarcastic says or does the opposite of what they really mean in order to mock or insult someone.
# U. `0 l) N# a* a$ F/ `
# P, q8 X) Z: m6 rBased on the above explanation,  being ironic is more polite than being sarcastic.

关于这两词的区别，我有一个更好的解释跟你分享、:
! v& Y8 D9 w3 r' f; U# ^& }! E/ q% oQuite 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).
& P$ S& \: J* V1 s( A( |/ L  ?http://www.sarcasmsociety.com/howtorecognizeirony/
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。

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。
