btw, have you ever thought about the difference between sarcastic and ironic?

Here is what I found:
% O" _) F) K9 z$ R6 M8 p4 Z' HIronic-------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.
& ^2 S" E% j9 M# S! F; tSarcastic---------Someone who is sarcastic says or does the opposite of what they really mean in order to mock or insult someone.

, J+ B2 p$ ?# D, ~, C1 t( G- PBased on the above explanation,  being ironic is more polite than being sarcastic.

懒猫一点都不懒，咱俩应该组成“学习共进小组”！好不好？
4 V1 g' E5 E; Y" t' a! E关于这两词的区别，我有一个更好的解释跟你分享、:
Quite 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).

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。

这句说的比较有道理。

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。
