[quote=CHRISWAUGHBJ,229623]Let me clarify: I didn't bother translating any of that. Humour is about as difficult as poetry to translate, and many jokes simply do not work in anything other than their original language. When reading this: "一个火人(好人)，飞去了(回去了)", at first I was puzzled, because it just doesn't seem to work in Putonghua. Then I imagined somebody saying 一个好人，回去了 with a Hunan accent, and although it's not perfect, the pun seems to work better.[/quote]
