Question

5．1  I’ve been working as a professional clown（小丑）for nearly two years．Before that，I was an actor for nine years．I was never famous，but I was quite successful!I changed jobs because I wanted to do more in life than make people laugh．What if I could help people，too？
As a clown，I try to encourage sick chileren in hospital to laugh and smile．When you laugh，your mind and body relax．Clearly，people who laugh more don’t have as many colds or other problems!Children who laugh a lot often get better results in their studies，too．
It isn’t an easy job．Not all sick children get better，and sometimes I come home and cry．But I always go back to work the next day with my red nose on．I don’t earn much money as a clown，but I feel very lucky to work with such brave，wonderful patients．
2  I became a laughter yoga（瑜伽）teacher more than two years ago．Before that，I was a
dentist!My job was very difficult，and I used to feel fed up．Now I still improve people’s
health，but everything else is completely different．Everyone has fun in a laughter yoga
class，including the teacher!
No，laughter isn’t“magic”．It doesn’t prevent all illness，keep you young，or make you
beautiful．But did you know that isn’t ana excellent kind of exercise？You move your whole
body when you laugh!
Sometimes I worked with famous people．It’s true that being rich can be stressful!Some famous people can be unpleasant at times，but I try to change their bad feelings．Laughter is
excellent for people like musicians，artists and writers，because it helps people to be more creative．

分析 翻譯：
   我作為一個(gè)專業(yè)的小丑近兩年了．在此之前，我做了九年的演員．我從來(lái)沒(méi)有出名，但我很成功！我換了工作，因?yàn)槲蚁朐谏�活中做更多的事情，而不是讓人們笑．是否我也能幫助別人呢？作為一個(gè)小丑，我試著鼓勵(lì)生病住院的孩子笑或者微笑．當(dāng)你笑的時(shí)候，你的思想和身體放松．顯然，那些笑得更多的人不會(huì)有很多感冒或其他問(wèn)題！那些經(jīng)常笑的孩子在學(xué)習(xí)上也會(huì)取得更好的成績(jī)．這不是一件容易的事．并不是所有生病的孩子都能好轉(zhuǎn)，有時(shí)我會(huì)回家哭泣．但我總是第二天戴著我的紅鼻子回去工作．作為一個(gè)小丑我賺不了很多錢，但我感到與這些勇敢的極好的病人一起工作非常幸運(yùn)．
  兩年多前，我成了一個(gè)快樂(lè)的瑜伽老師．在此之前，我是一個(gè)牙醫(yī)！我的工作很難，我過(guò)去感到無(wú)聊．現(xiàn)在我仍然改善人民的健康，但與其他任何事都是完全不同的．包括老師每個(gè)人在一個(gè)笑的瑜伽課上都玩得很開(kāi)心！不，笑不是“魔術(shù)”．它不能防止所有的疾病，能讓你保持年輕，或者讓你美麗．但是你知道那難道不是一種優(yōu)秀的運(yùn)動(dòng)嗎？當(dāng)你笑的時(shí)候，你的整個(gè)身體都在動(dòng)！有時(shí)我和名人一起工作．這是真實(shí)的，作為富人會(huì)有壓力！有些名人有時(shí)會(huì)很不愉快，但我努力改變他們的壞心情．對(duì)于像音樂(lè)家、藝術(shù)家、作家這樣的人，笑是很好的，因?yàn)樗�可以幫助人們更富有�?chuàng)造性．
