骂人不带脏字五种英式损人口语

“I DO DESIRE WE MAY BE BETTER STRANGERS”

我们最好做陌生人

Admittedly, this isn’t too commonly heard these days, but this brilliant put-down from Shakespeare’s As You Like It was too good to miss. Said by Orlando, this excellent little quip is so cleverly worded you might think you were being complimented if you weren’t paying attention. The play actually has a wealth of put-downs that encapsulate the British idiom – consider “Let’s meet as little as we can”, “By my troth, I was seeking for a fool when I found you”, or the oddly scathing “Truly thou art damned, like an ill-roasted egg, all on one side.”

虽然现在并不常用, 但这个源于莎翁作品《皆大欢喜》的绝妙说法, 不提一下太可惜了。作为剧中奥兰多的台词，这句嘲讽的修辞简直聪明绝顶，你不注意还以为对方在夸你呢。此剧中有诸多包含英国谚语的奚落方式，比如“Let’s meet as little as we can（让我们尽可能少见面吧）”，“By my troth, I was seeking for a fool when I found you（我发誓，我在找一个傻瓜，不料遇到了你）”，或者像下面这难得尖刻的一句“Truly thou art damned, like an ill-roasted egg, all on one side（你真该死，就像一个煎坏了的蛋，一面全焦了）”。
