之前已经学了一个关于 belly 的习语 belly up，它寓意“破产，倒闭，失败”，今天又来了一个跟 belly 有关的习语 belly laugh，字面意思是“肚子笑”，可不就是“捧腹大笑，开怀大笑，非常有趣的笑话”的意思，寓意：
to laugh uncontrollably
无法控制地笑
to laugh until one's belly starts to shake
笑到肚子开始颤抖
a very heavy laugh
非常沉重的笑声
to laugh loudly and heartily
开怀大笑
a joke that is very funny
一个非常有趣的笑话
to burst out laughing
突然大笑
a loud laugh which cannot be controlled
无法控制的大笑
例如：
The books by this author always give me a belly laugh.
这位作家的书总是让我捧腹大笑。
解析：及物动词 give 后面跟双宾语：give sb sth 或 give sth to sb.
I really get belly laugh when I am talking with him. He is such a funny guy.
当我和他说话时，我真的很开心。他真是个有趣的家伙。
She barely contained her belly laugh when the group of students fell down from the stairs. I suspect it was her mischief to begin with.
当那群学生从楼梯上摔下来时，她几乎抑制不住自己的大笑。我怀疑是以她的恶作剧开场。
解析：不定式 to begin with 作定语，修饰 her mischief，类似的还有：there is nothing to worry about.
Her belly laugh jokes are awesome and I attend every stand-up comedy event she holds in town.
她的笑话太棒了，我参加了她在镇上举办的每一个单人表演的喜剧活动。
解析：此句省略了关系代词 that，完整的是 every stand-up comedy event (that) she holds in town，that 不能用关系代词 which 代替，因为先行词 event 被不定代词 all 修饰。
The prank was just meant as belly laugh and did not at all intend to hurt any feelings. But the group has apologized all the same too.
这个恶作剧只表示开怀大笑的意思，根本无意伤害任何感情。但该组织还是为此道歉。
The cure to your sadness and depression is a belly laugh. You need no medicines.
笑能治愈你的忧郁和悲伤。你不需要药物。
解析：此句中的 no 相当于 not any medicines.
笑口常开，青春常在，开心也过一天，不开心也过一天，那么你知道怎么做了吧。
