想知道英国人是如何生动表达震惊及愤怒的么？.docxVIP

Like the people of any country, the British are given to loudly exclaiming something whenever they are startled; unlike most people, however, the restrictions on the English language that are caused by classic British politeness mean that such phrases are often absolute nonsense. Let’s take a look at some.和其他各国的小伙伴们一样，英国人在被震惊时也会大声惊呼。不过和大多数人不同，因为受传统英式礼貌的限制，这些表达震惊的短语通常被视作不雅的粗口。下面就一起来领略一下英式“卧槽”吧！BLOODY HELL!One of the most common and versatile of British exclamation, ‘Bloody hell’ is what we linguistics call a minced oath, as the word ‘bloody’ is probably a shortening of ‘By Our Lady’ (i.e. the Virgin Mary). Originally, then, this probably meant something like ‘by our Lady, all Hell’s about to break loose because of this thing that’s surprised me!’ It’s a little bit easier to say these days.这是最常见并通用于各种场合的英式惊呼之一。从语言学上来说，“Bloody hell”是一种避免爆粗的委婉表达。“bloody”应该是“By Our Lady”（即圣母玛利亚）的缩略语。这个词组最初的意思大概就是：“圣母在上，天都要塌了！这实在太令人吃惊了！”。相比之下，现在的说法还是容易多了！BLIMEY!This one is perhaps a little archaic now. Another minced oath, ‘Blimey!’ – or, less commonly, ‘Cor blimey!’ – is a shortening of the saying ‘God blind me!’ Hopefully you’re starting to see the pattern here: most British exclamations have their roots in religious oaths. This is because swearing by God was taken very seriously, so if you said ‘God blind me’ everyone would know you were truly pissed off and should probably be left alone.这个词汇也是一种委婉表达，不过已经略显过时。它的另一种不太常见的说法是“Cor blimey!”。“Blimey!”是“God blind me!（上帝蒙骗了我）”的缩写。你可能已经发现了：大部分英式惊叹词都来源于宗教誓言——因为对着上帝宣下的誓言都是严肃庄重的，所以如果你说“上帝蒙骗了我”，那么所有人都会知道你是真的非常生气，想要一个人呆着冷静一下。DARN/DANG!These two interchangeable words are polite ways of saying ‘Damn’, though as everybody knows what you mean it’s a wonder anybody bothers. Like ‘Blimey’, saying these in ordinary conversation might make you sound a bit 19th century.这两个可以互换的词语是“Damn”一词的礼貌说法，不过其实所有人都知道你想表达的是什么意思，有没有稍微“礼貌”一点，也没有人会在意。就像“Blimey”一样，在日常会话中使用“Darn”或者“Dang”会让你瞬间穿越回十九世纪！I SAY!Now we’re really going back in time. This is a classic British phrase, p
