Question 1 短点 refers to lenth, like a short noveal. 浅点 refers to content; in this case, opposite to "Deep" Question 2 荡漾 here is a literary way to say "keep thinking of". Like, this poem is so beautiful that it keeps 荡漾 in you head (you keep thinking of this poem, those beautiful languages in it) Question 3 我想买苹果、巧克力、水和（means and）可口可乐。 Question 4 very similar in colloquial language. In written language (like in a film review), however, people only use 滑稽。I say 搞笑 in everyday conversation. I use it in my diary as well, but if in a composition that I will hand in to my teacher, I use 滑稽。 Hope this helps. :) You Chinese is making fast progress.

The straightforward answers are: 1. "I'll find a shorter and easier book for you." 2. "Jusy sit (here) and let these words work their own magic in your mind." 3. 用"顿号" - "、"。"苹果、巧克力、 水、 可口可乐" 4. To all intents and purposes, 搞笑=funny; 滑稽=comic. Note that there is no need for these to be derogatory!

1.浅 ：浅显=easy to read and understand 2.荡漾：浮动；浮现=flow or appear ( in your mind) 3. 1）我们不说“中文人”，我们说“中国人” 2）我们不说“单子” ，我们说“词语”、“词组” 3）我们在词语之间用顿号，最后的两个词之间可以也可以用和， 比如“我想买苹果、巧克力、水、可口可乐 ”或者“我想买苹果、巧克力、水和可口可乐” 4. 1)搞笑=funny in a commendatory or derogatory way; something or someone can make you laugh in whatever ways. 搞笑的范围大一些，也包括滑稽。 2)滑稽=funny in a derogatory way and it can be ridiculous. 含有疯狂的,失序的,有一种冷酷和可怕的意思。可以是一种比较荒唐的搞笑，含有贬义。

Q1. 短点=shorter 浅点=easier to understand. Q2. I think 你头脑里荡漾 can be translated as linger in your mind. Q3 我想买苹果、巧克力、水和可口可乐 Q4 1.“搞笑” is a modern word，while 滑稽 is a word with a long history. 2.“搞笑” is less formal than 滑稽， and is preferred in daily conversation than 滑稽。 3.Both the to words can be derogatory. But “搞笑” is positive in most cases， while “滑稽” shows derogatory meaning in many cases.

1) Here 浅 means 'superficial; easy to understand; not profound/deep' 2) 荡漾：Just imagine the motion of the (water) wave. The water emerges and disappers for many times. Here it means 'the sentences emerge and disappear for many times.' 3) Normally, 我想买苹果、巧克力、水和可口可。 4) I feel 滑稽 is a little formal. And 搞笑 tends to be more colloquial. Others may give you a more satisfactory answer.
