英语中骂人是笨蛋的词分等级:
Unflattering/annoying: 轻重量级 比较闹心而已
insulting/abusing/curse: 中度侮辱 很不文雅
taboo:绝不能说的 禁忌语
表达傻瓜的词 轻量级:
fool / silly /dork
—don’t be silly. (不是真的蠢 只是某件事,没有杀伤力)
—dorky charm (呆萌呆萌的)
中伤性的但是不算禁忌语:
dumb bastard/ idiot/moron/stupid
—“people don’t buy it, CNN,you dumb bastard.”
—“ he is not only crazy, he is stupid.”
—he is surrounded by a bunch of idiots.
—throughout his career, he has been branded moron, bully, fake, super-ego, sociopath, ...on and on.
混蛋 口语常用的词:(混蛋不是傻瓜 是比较坏)
jerk:he is such a jerk.(强调的是很坏 捣乱分子 类似于mean)
crook: a cook-turn-into president (强调的是大骗子)
事情搞砸了我们会加上一个分量词表达不满:
B.S.(bullshit)以前是禁忌最近解放了 新闻媒体大说特说:一派胡言!全是废话!
damn it: 气死了/ 哎呀/烦死了(表达强烈的不满 比如没赶上飞机,老板让加班)
sh*t:类似于damn, 一团!现在也放开点儿使用了 因为主流媒体有说啊
以上都是美式口语英语中常见的表达 英式的表达等级更上一次楼:
like the old Irish saying goes, “there is a lot of sense out of the head.”
