中文的形容词可直接作谓语（如“他很讽刺”），但英语形容词作表语时必须借助系动词 is，因此不能省略 be 动词。
Your sarcastic hurt my feelings.Your sarcastic remark hurt my feelings.
sarcastic 是形容词，不能直接作宾语；它必须修饰一个名词（如 remark），才能表达“你的讽刺话语”。
Don't laugh sarcastic.Don't laugh in a sarcastic way.
修饰动词 laugh 需要用副词，不能直接用形容词；本句改用 in a sarcastic way 后，sarcastic 正确修饰名词 way。
