　　We need to find someone who can survive here. Do you understand?

　　我们需要生存者。明白不?

　　地道口语表达：Human Resources certainly has an odd sense of humor.真会开玩笑。她是说人力资源部的人眼光很异样奇怪，挑来了一个完全不懂时尚的人做时尚杂志的编辑，自然这也算是一种幽默了。sense of humor幽默感。例如：He is distinguished for his sense of humor. 他以其幽默感著称。前面可以加形容词，表示什么样的幽默感，比如：The fiddler's crude and irreverent sense of humor was distasteful to him.拉琴人的粗鲁无礼的幽默感使他讨厌。
