用法筆記

Intransitive only — you cannot directly 'laugh something' as an object. To name the cause, use at or about: 'laugh at a joke', 'laugh about a mistake'. If you want to describe the type of laughter, use adverbs: laugh nervously, laugh loudly, laugh quietly.

💡The person or thing that causes laughter requires the preposition 'at'.
