再说朗文，朗文说「心情好」，大致意思没错，都能代到我们的例句里面，但是太宽了，「心情好」可以是很多方面的，而jocular 跟joke 同源：

Do you like to make a lot of jokes? Are you often silly? Are you usually happy? If so, then you are a jocular person.
0 F( A! A6 @ N) NBeing jocular has to do with being both jokey and fun. A jocular suggestion is not a serious suggestion — it's a joke. Some people are more jocular than others: anyone who is ultra-serious and always frowning is not jocular. A comedian makes a job of being jocular. Class clowns can't stop being jocular, though the teacher might just see them as obnoxious. Being jocular is usually considered a good thing: it's not just about making a lot of jokes; it's about being happy and pleasant to be around.
