given cate is ready for them (the women workers)) [36]                                                  
(2) 湘云笑道：“‘主雅客来勤’，自然你有些警动他的好处，他才要会你。”宝玉道：“罢，罢！我也不称雅，我乃俗中又俗的一个俗人，并不愿同这些人来往。”
(“ ‘When the host is cultured, guests frequent his house’,” quoted Hsiang-yun. “He likes seeing you, surely, because he can learn something from you.”
“Don’t call me cultured,” begged Pao-yu. “I’m the most vulgar of the vulgar herd, and I’ve no desire at all to mix with such people.”) [37]                          
    In example (1), the author lent “kind-hearted” to ridicule the bosses who treated the women workers niggardly. In example (2), Pao-yu laughed at himself as “the most vulgar of the vulgar herd”, ironically.
(iii) Irony for fun
Irony for fun refers to the one that may create a relaxed atmosphere. For example:
    这个“四十条”去年以来不吃香了，现在又“复辟”了。第一论文范文网 www.11665.com整理。

(These forty articles went out of vogue last year but are now staging a “come back”.) [38]
Literally, “come back” is an expression of censure. But here it stands for a new starting of the forty articles. By using this word, the speech run smoothly under the light air.
(iv) Irony for affection
Irony is sometimes used to express strong affection. To make advances to others, people can use irony as a support. For example:
几个女人有点失望， 也有些伤心，各人在心里骂着自己的狠心贼。
(Disappointed and rather upset, each woman was secretly laying the blame on her heartless brute of a husband.) [39]                       [转贴于:论文大全网 https://www.11665.com/Foreignlanguage/langageculture/201103/53598.html]
