爆粗口往往是不那么討人喜歡的，不過(guò)小編發(fā)現(xiàn)很多人剛到一個(gè)新的語(yǔ)言環(huán)境都是先學(xué)會(huì)粗口。如果不會(huì)真正使用那么一兩個(gè)粗口英語(yǔ)，有時(shí)候還真不好意思說(shuō)自己會(huì)地道英文呢?現(xiàn)在讓我們暫且把書(shū)本上的正式用法放一邊，看看bitch這個(gè)非常普遍的小詞怎么用，大家是不是覺(jué)得“就是任性”可以用bitch表達(dá)嗎?

(相關(guān)資料圖)

現(xiàn)在讓我們暫且將英語(yǔ)的正式用法放在一邊，在“不良詞匯”的邊緣徜徉吧。

今天我們要談?wù)摰膯卧~是BITCH，毋庸置疑，它在英語(yǔ)中使用的非常普遍，無(wú)處不在。它并不像你想的那么簡(jiǎn)單。

BITCH. It’s a powerful word, it can be used as a noun, verb or adjective, and it’s almostuniversally misunderstood by non-native English speakers. It can be playful, sexual or violent. It can be offensive, neutral, and even used to empower woman. But in 99% of the cases, “Bitch” does not translate to “Prostitute.” Wikipedia says:

“BITCH”是一個(gè)強(qiáng)大的詞，它可以用作名詞，也可以用作動(dòng)詞或形容詞，它幾乎受到了所有英語(yǔ)為非母語(yǔ)的人誤解。它可以是好玩的，與性別有關(guān)的，或者暴力的。它也可以是無(wú)禮的，中立的，甚至能夠用在女人身上。但是在99%的例子中，“Bitch” 不能夠翻譯成“妓女”。維基百科說(shuō)：

The word “bitch”, literally meaning a female dog, is a common slang term in the English language, especially used as a denigrating term applied to a person, commonly a woman. It often refers to someone who is belligerent, unreasonable, rudely intrusive or aggressive.

單詞“bitch”，字面意思指的是一只母狗，它是英語(yǔ)中常用的俚語(yǔ)，尤其是作為詆毀語(yǔ)用到人身上，通常是女人。它通常指的是好斗的、不可理喻的、粗魯?shù)厝肭值幕蚝霉舻娜恕?/p>

Let’s dive in. Here is how BITCH is used:

讓我們來(lái)一探究竟吧。下面是如何使用BITCH的方法：

Bitch Almost Never Means “Prostitute”:

Bitch 基本上從來(lái)沒(méi)有“妓女”的意思：

Accept that the translation of “son of a bitch” is misleading and does not represent hownative speakers use the word bitch in other situations. Even in “son of a bitch,”I would venture say that the expression doesn’t make me think of mother or woman in the same way that it’s translated in Spanish and Portuguese (“hijo de puta/ filho de puta”).

人們常常接受的“son of a bitch” 的翻譯(“婊子養(yǎng)的”)是容易讓人誤解的，并且它不能夠完全代表母語(yǔ)為英語(yǔ)的人在其它情況下是如何使用bitch這個(gè)單詞的。即使是“son of a bitch”這句話，我敢說(shuō)這種表達(dá)按照同樣的方式翻譯成西班牙語(yǔ)或是葡萄牙語(yǔ)(“hijo de puta/ filho de puta”)，也并不能讓我想到bitch指的是母親或是婦女。

The only exception to this is in American ganster rap music, which uses the word “bitch” in a much more derogative way (prostitute), often referring to women as “bitches and hoes” (hoe means prostitute). More on this below：

唯一例外的是《美國(guó)黑幫》說(shuō)唱音樂(lè)，它里面單詞“bitch”有衍生的更加貶義的用法(妓女)，通常把女人比作“婊子和妓女”(hoe指的是妓女)。下面有很多例子：

Bitch Literally Means Female Dog. There’s nothing really to explain here. It’s quite literal and this is probably the only non-colloquial use of the word.

Bitch的字面意思是母狗。這里沒(méi)什么好解釋的。這個(gè)完全是字面意思，并且這可能是這個(gè)單詞唯一的非口語(yǔ)化的用法。

Calling a Woman a Bitch (3 different meanings):

稱一個(gè)女人為 Bitch(3種不同意思)：

1.An annoying/ unpleasant woman: It’s definitely not polite to call a woman a bitch, but in most cases, it’s not as bad as “whore.” For example: (a) He didn’t leave a tip at the restaurant because he said that his waitress WAS A BITCH. (b) I don’t know what’s wrong with her. She’s BEING A BITCH.

一個(gè)煩人的/讓人不愉快的女人：稱一個(gè)女人為bitch絕對(duì)是不禮貌的，但是在很多情況下，它并沒(méi)有“whore(妓女)”那么惡劣。例如：(a)他沒(méi)有給餐館小費(fèi)，因?yàn)樗f(shuō)他的女服務(wù)員WAS A BITCH(是個(gè)煩人的女人)。(b)我不知道她怎么了。她就是BEING A BITCH(讓人不愉快)。

Note: “She is a bitch” (permanent) is much more offensive than saying “she is being a bitch” (temporary state). All the same, to call a woman a bitch is never nice, so watch your mouth.

注意：“She is a bitch.”(永久的，現(xiàn)在時(shí))比說(shuō)“she is being a bitch”(臨時(shí)狀態(tài)，進(jìn)行時(shí)) 更加無(wú)禮。同樣地，稱一個(gè)女人是個(gè)bitch是很不友好的，所以注意你的言辭。

2.A Prostitute: Rap music seems to be the only context where “bitch” means “prostitute.” Rap music’s use of “bitch” is a controversial, complicated issue which I’m not going to even try to explore right now.In my personal opinion, rap music, in general, demonstrates totally inappropriate treatment of women that nobody should imitate. See the “unified bitch theory “ as put forward by famous rappers, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

妓女：說(shuō)唱音樂(lè)即Rap似乎是唯一使用“bitch” 表示“妓女”的語(yǔ)境。說(shuō)唱音樂(lè)中“bitch” 的使用是個(gè)有爭(zhēng)議的、復(fù)雜的問(wèn)題，這個(gè)我不打算立刻探究清楚。在我個(gè)人看來(lái)，一般來(lái)說(shuō)，說(shuō)唱音樂(lè)里這種用法展示了完全不恰當(dāng)?shù)膶?duì)待女人的態(tài)度，任何人都不應(yīng)該模仿?？纯粗枋諨r. Dre和Snoop Dogg提出的“unified bitch theory ”。

3.An Empowered Woman: An emerging feminist definition that is becoming more common these days: “In a feminist context, it can indicate a strong or assertive woman, one who might make men feel threatened.” Check out this popular Meredith Brooks Song, “bitch” which demonstrates exactly this.

一個(gè)有權(quán)利的女人：這是一個(gè)新興的女權(quán)主義的定義，最近也變的越來(lái)越常見(jiàn)了：“在一篇關(guān)于女權(quán)主義的文章中，它能夠表示一個(gè)強(qiáng)勢(shì)或者自信的女人，這個(gè)女人可能會(huì)讓男人感到威脅。”看看流行的Meredith Brooks的歌曲，“bitch”，這首歌的歌詞很好的詮釋了這個(gè)意思。

Calling a Man a Bitch

This is often playful, but can be mildly offensive. It means that the man is subservient, that he does everything for another person, and has compromised his dignity. You often use the possessive adjective. For example: I do everything for my boss. My friends at work tell me that I’M HIS BITCH. Sometimes people say “he’s being a little bitch” tocommunicate that he’s extremely unpleasant, not easy to deal with.

稱一個(gè)男人為bitch，這個(gè)通常是開(kāi)玩笑的，但是也略微有些冒犯的意思。它表示這個(gè)男人是屈從的，他做的每件事都是為別人做的，并且放棄了自己的尊嚴(yán)。你通常使用的是所有格形容詞。例如:我做的一切都是為了我的老板。我工作了的朋友告訴我，我是我老板的奴隸。有時(shí)候人們說(shuō)“he’s being a little bitch”來(lái)表示他非常讓人不快，很難打交道。

As an Adjective: Bitchy

You can call a man or a woman a bitch (with different meanings, as described in 3 and 4), but the word bitchy (applied to both men and women) has the sense of “annoying” or “unpleasant.” For example: You’re being really bitchy today. Why can’t you be nicer to me? This is still not very polite language and would probably be offensive.

作為形容詞：Bitchy。你可以稱一個(gè)男人或女人是 bitch(它有不同的含義，3,4中講過(guò)了)，但是單詞 bitchy (男女通用)帶有“煩人的”或者“令人不愉快”的感覺(jué)。例如：你今天真的很讓人不高心。你為什么就不能對(duì)我好點(diǎn)?這仍然是很不禮貌的說(shuō)法，并且有可能冒犯到別人。

Bitch as a Verb (Complain)

In this colloquial use of the word, “bitch” means “complain.” It is often used together with “moan” (gemir) to negatively potray someone (or yourself) who is complaining too much. This use is not really offensive (depending on the tone) and can be used informal situations. For example: I wish people would just stop BITCHING AND MOANING about corruption in politics and do something about it.

“bitch”作為動(dòng)詞(抱怨)?！癰itch”的這種口語(yǔ)用法表示“抱怨”。它通常和“moan” (抱怨)一起使用，來(lái)負(fù)面的描述某人(或者是你自己)抱怨太多。這種用法并不真的太冒犯人(取決于語(yǔ)氣)，并且可以用在非正式場(chǎng)合。例如：我希望人們可以停止哼哼唧唧的抱怨政壇腐敗而是做點(diǎn)什么。

Bitch Someone Out

means to yell at someone in a really negative way for something they did. For example: My boss BITCHED ME OUT for being 10 minutes late. To use this expression is not offensive, but language is very colloquial.

Bitch someone out表示因?yàn)槟橙俗龅氖虑椋浅Ｏ麡O的對(duì)他們大喊大叫。例如：我的老板因?yàn)槲疫t到了10分鐘就對(duì)我大喊大叫(BITCHED ME OUT)。使用這個(gè)表達(dá)不會(huì)很冒犯別人，但是這種說(shuō)法是非?？谡Z(yǔ)化的。

Bitchin’ as an Adjective

This means that something is good, awesome, cool, etc. Don’t confuse this with bitchy (explained above).For example: The Real Life English party was BITCHIN’! Following the rules of grammar would make this “bitching ” but we say “bitchin.” This is another colloquial expression that isn’t negative.

Bitchin’作為形容詞。這個(gè)詞表示某物很好、很棒、很酷，等等。不要把這個(gè)和 bitchy(上面解釋過(guò))弄混了。例如：The Real Life 的英語(yǔ)晚會(huì)很BITCHIN’(很棒的)!按照語(yǔ)法規(guī)則應(yīng)該是“bitching ”，但是我們說(shuō)“bitchin”。這是另外一種不帶負(fù)面色彩的口語(yǔ)化表達(dá)。

Life’s a Bitch

A common way to communicate that life is complicated,not easy, etc. The expression has this sense of confronting the difficulties, but also recognizing the unpleasant nature. Other examples of this use are: Calculus is a BITCH. Monday morning is a BITCH.

Life’s a Bitch“生活就像強(qiáng)奸”，是一種普遍的交流方式，用來(lái)表達(dá)生活是復(fù)雜的、困難的，等等。這個(gè)表達(dá)帶有面臨困難的意味，也含有意識(shí)到不愉快的本質(zhì)的意思。其它用法的例子有：微積分是BITCH(小編注：即微積分真TMD的復(fù)雜。)。星期一的早晨是BITCH，真難熬。(小編注：周一又要開(kāi)始工作學(xué)習(xí)，讓人覺(jué)得難進(jìn)入狀態(tài))。

Bitch Please!

This expression (see picture below) communicates that you don’t believe what the person says. Urban Dictionary defines it as follows: Used when someone/tool makes a stupid comment, or just as a fun way of saying no. This is a common colloquial expression which originated in the ghettos and has reached mainstream middle class American society. People often use this colloquially in a playful way (the title of this article), but as Urban Dictionary points out because of the origin of “bitch please” amongst inner-city prostitution rings, it always carries a connotation of violence.

Bitch Please!這個(gè)表達(dá)(見(jiàn)下圖)表示你不相信這個(gè)人說(shuō)的話。Urban Dictionary詞典定義如下：當(dāng)某人/某工具做了愚蠢的評(píng)論，或者僅僅是用搞笑的方式說(shuō)“不”的時(shí)候使用。這是一個(gè)普遍使用的口語(yǔ)化表達(dá)，它起源于貧民區(qū)，并且流傳到美國(guó)社會(huì)主流中產(chǎn)階級(jí)。人們通常用開(kāi)玩笑的方式(這篇文章標(biāo)題)使用這個(gè)口語(yǔ)化表達(dá)，但是正如城市詞典指出，因?yàn)椤癰itch please”來(lái)源于城市中心的紅燈區(qū)，所以它常常帶有黃暴力的內(nèi)涵。

Bitchslap

輕拍某人，使之冷靜(小編注：有一部影片也用過(guò)此單詞做片名，常見(jiàn)翻譯為“女子大亂斗”)

This is to “slap” somebody with the back of your hand in order to calm the person down and make them see things straight. This is another use of “bitch” that originated in the ghettos and was popularized by rap music and black culture. People often use this termin a playful way.

這個(gè)表示為了讓某人冷靜，并且直面某事而用手背去“輕掌嘴”某人。這是來(lái)源于貧民區(qū)的另外一種 “bitch”的用法，現(xiàn)在被說(shuō)唱音樂(lè)和黑人文化推廣開(kāi)來(lái)。人們通常用好玩的方式使用這個(gè)詞。

To Ride Bitch in the Car

坐在車后座的兩個(gè)人中間

To ride in the middle of the back seat of the car.

坐在汽車后座的中間。?
