naurunalainen

Pidätkö suhdettani MacArthuriin jotenkin naurunalaisena? En suinkaan.

you find my relationship with MacArthur something to deride?

- Hän esitti filosofisen argumentin tarkoituksenaan saattaa argumenttini naurunalaiseksi ja kritisoida sen seurauksia.

- He's engaging in reductio ad absurdum. It's the logical fallacy of extending someone's argument to ridiculous proportions and then criticizing the result. And I do not appreciate it.

Minua kaduttaa se, että jouduin naurunalaiseksi kuoromaailmassa.

Being the laughing stock of the show choir world. That's sayin' something

Onko yleisen edun mukaista tehdä pastori naurunalaiseksi?

But what is the public interest you're describing? That there is some interest in making him look ludicrous?

Pelkään, että jokin hajoaa ja joudun naurunalaiseksi. Jos osasia on liikaa, jokin irtoaa varmasti.

I'm definitely worried about something falling apart and it just being a laughingstock, because, y'know, you can only stick so many pieces on there and not have something fall off.

Sietäisit joutua naurunalaiseksi.

It might do you some good if people did laugh at you.

On kamalampaakin kuin keksiä jotain tyhmää ja olla naurunalainen.

There are worse things than telling some dumb story... and having everybody laugh at you.
