腐国人民教你优雅地爆粗口
<p>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都没有什么实际意义。下面就一起来领略一下英式粗口吧!</p><p><span word="BLOODY">BLOODY</span> <span word="HELL">HELL</span>!</p><p><span word="One">One</span>

word="Bloody">Bloody</span> <span word="hell">hell</span>”是一种避免爆粗的委婉表达。“<span word="bloody">bloody</span>”应该是“<span word="By">By</span> <span word="Our">Our</span> <span word="Lady">Lady</span>”(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!</p><p><span word="BLIMEY">BLIMEY</span>!</p><p><span word="This">This</span> <span word="one">one</span>
