英语幽默是经过锤炼而形成的语言形式。它语言通俗，寓意深刻，给人以启迪，是英语学习中不可忽视的一个重要方面。英语幽默在一定程度上反映了英语国家的政治经济、历史文化和风土人情。人们可以用幽默的方式来消除分歧，表示歉意，表示拒绝或进行批评。对于有些事情来说，幽默是成功的惟一途径。我们还可以利用幽默的方式减除痛苦，抵消伤感，缓解紧张，松弛情绪，怡悦心境，增添生活的情趣和信心。总之，幽默感是智力上的优越感。本书精编的英语幽默故事在遣词造句方面主要有四种方式。
《英语幽默精编(2)》内容丰富，题材广泛，形式多样，既适用于课堂教学，又有助于读者提高学习英语的兴趣和应用英语的能力。对故事中重复率较低的词汇，反复注释。

Mr. Grey had a nice shop in the main street of a small town. He sold jewellery , watches, clocks and other things like those. All went well for some years, and then Mr. Grey's shop was broken into at night twice in one month, and a lot of jeweilery was stolen each time. The police had still not managed to catch the thief three weeks later, so Mr. Grey decided that he would try to do something about it. He therefore bought a camera and fixed it UP in his shop so that it would photograph anyone who broke in at night, and put some very cheap jewellery in front of it for the thief.A few nights later the thief did come again, but he did not touch any of the cheap jewellery that Mr. Grey had put out for him. He took the camera. It was worth 150.00.
