这句英文有错吗

譬如，法国人听完一则俄国笑话可能很难发笑。同样的道理，一则可以令英国人笑出泪来的笑话，俄国人听了可能觉得没有什么可笑之处。
For example,it is improbable that a Frenchman will laugh when he listen a Russian joke. In the same way, it is improbable that a Russian will laugh when he listen a joke that causing british laugh to tears.

这句英语有错吗？若有，请指出错哪了 ，谢谢

Answer 1

有错: listen--listens to 因为listen是不及物动物，必须与to搭配使用。
主语he为单三，故listen要加S。

causing -- makes/is making 因为that从句中需要谓动，
而causing 是非谓语动词，不能作谓动，又后面的不定式laugh没带to，
故将causing改为makes /is making

即: ...when he listens to a Russian joke...
...when he listens to a joke that makes/is making British laugh to tears.

追问

最后句that causing british laugh to tears. laugh这里做动词吧？所以cause我才用动名词的

追答

laugh 是动词作宾补.

动名词只能做主语,宾语,表语等.

而在这个定从中, that 是主语, 缺少的是谓动, 所以causing有错.

除了我上面的改法外,还可在causing前加is,构成现在进行时,

但后面的laugh前必须加to.(cause sb. to do sth.)

即:that is causing British to laugh to tears.

但语感不如that makes/is making British laugh to tears.好.

追问

好的谢谢，还有一个疑问就是，如果按你的that makes/is making British laugh to tears ，句中laugh在这里作名词啦？否则就两个动词了。
为什么laugh在这作名词，而不是动词呢

追答

我哪里说了laugh在这作名词? 仔细看看我上面补充的回答.

laugh 是动词原形(即不带to的不定式)作宾补.

make sb. do sth. 使某人做某事

因为make为使役动词, 所以其后作宾补的不定式不能带to

Answer 2

For example,it is probablely hard to laugh when a Frenchman listens to a Russian joke. In the same way, it is improbable for a Russian to laugh when he listens to a joke that causing a Englishman laughs to tears

或者，我感觉这样写也可以：
For example,it is probablely hard to laugh when a Frenchman listens to a Russian joke. In the same way, it will cause an Englishman to laugh to tears while for the same joke a Russian may feel none of fun with it.

Answer 3

For example, It is very difficult for frenchmen to laugh when they hear out a Russian joke. The same reason, A joke can make Englishmen laugh to burst into tears, but Russian might fail to see anything amused.

Answer 4

我看下来。。没有错啊，兄弟。
正确的。

Answer 5

例如，它是不可能的，一个法国人会笑的时候，他听了俄罗斯的一个笑话。以同样的方式，它是一个俄罗斯会笑的时候，他听了一个笑话，使英国人笑出泪不可能。
你的这句是这个意思，应该是这么一句吧
A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears.
