humour

humour是英语中的多义词，兼具名词与动词用法，英式和美式发音均为[ˈhjuːmə(r)]，复数形式为humours，动词变位包括humouring/humoured等 [1-2]。其名词含义涵盖幽默感、情绪状态及中世纪生理学体液概念，动词则指迁就或安抚他人行为 [3] [5] [7]。

该词在不同语境中语义差异显著：作为名词时，既可描述引发笑意的特质（如“英式幽默”），亦指情绪状态（如“心情良好”），还保留医学史中四体液学说的专业含义；作为动词时多用于描述顺应他人意愿的行为 [4] [8]。常见搭配包括“黑色幽默”“房水”等短语，反映出文化、医学领域的语义延伸 [9]。

词源可追溯至拉丁语“humor”（液体），中世纪欧洲医学认为人体四种体液（血液、黏液、黄胆、黑胆）决定性格与健康。16世纪词义扩展至“情绪”，18世纪派生出现代主流用法“幽默”，原始生理学含义仍存于专业文献 [5-6] [9]。
