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!
