"One of the parts I like of being a scientist is to learn -- but it’s also to make people laugh. Make them laugh first and then make them think,” van Beest continued, quoting the Ig Nobel motto.
我喜欢成为一名科学家的其中一个原因是要去学习--也就是使人们发笑。
让他们先发笑，然后让他们思考， 正切合搞笑诺贝尔奖的宗旨
所以原文是：Make them laugh first and then make them think.
望采纳
it is really exaggerate and make one burst out laughing, however call for deep thought
OK?
Laughing then thinking.
At first glance the amusing, after set people thinking
