choir 韩寒 1725Words 2018-03-18
Chinese swear words are often primitive to the point of embarrassment. Usually something like: "I'm fucking your mother!" he scolded him. "I fucked your ancestors!" he scolded him back. The logic of this quarrel is actually very naive: you fucked my mother, and you more or less became my father.Then in order to defeat you, I have no choice but to dig graves and fuck your ancestors regardless of the smell of corpses, so that I can more or less be your ancestors and surpass your father.If the appetite is good, some people are willing to fuck the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations.Based on the 30-year interval between each generation, the digging of graves can only be done in the Ming Dynasty.Just to quarrel with a nasty ghost, to actually make such a big wish, willing to rape corpses all the way, to the mummy of the Ming Dynasty, is really a great wish.

Is there a winner in this bickering?If I were the judge, I would definitely judge you to lose, unless you show me a live performance and I have to watch it. I seldom see the Chinese people's determination to be other people's fathers and ancestors in other cultures.American classmates occasionally make jokes in life. When you complain about being coquettish, you will eat tofu and say, "Okay, good boy, come here and give me a hug." But I haven't seen any quarrel in English or Japanese, When you get blushed and neck thick due to arguing, you will say "I fuck your grandma".If you really say such a sentence in English or Japanese, I think the other party will stop for three seconds, imagine the scene of the incident you described, and then spit it out. (However, if the other party's grandma is still alive thanks to you, she should appreciate your kindness and be flattered.)

Japan's pornographic culture is booming, but in Japanese swear words, no verbs or nouns related to "sex" are used. Japanese neither uses the most powerful verb as a catchphrase, nor does it use nouns related to organs and liquids to swear.I haven't found out the reason yet.Perhaps Japanese culture believes that both sexual behavior and sexual organs bring a lot of happiness to people. If they are used on the other party inexplicably during a quarrel, it can only "benefit" the other party in vain.If the Japanese are a little more Western, they will now directly use the four-letter verbs that start with "F" in English.It is true that in English swear words, sexual behavior and sexual organs appear in large numbers, but the starting point of using these words is different from that in Chinese.

When the word "F" is used in English swear words, it is to directly attack and conquer yourself, not to become your father or your ancestor.If you quarrel in English, if it is to humiliate you, you will be told to "kiss my ass" or "go back and fuck yourself".I am afraid that these two things will lose their lethality if they are put into Japanese, and they will become two happy things again.Although English swear words, unfortunately, like Chinese swear words, have not spared our mothers, but when English scolds "you who fucked your mother", it may be a reference to the Greek tragedy of "sleeping with your mother". "The incest curse" means "you are a cursed bastard".

In comparison, it is easier for me to accept swear words in English that directly attack the opponent.As for Chinese, the mother and ancestors of the opponent are involved, just to become the elders of the opponent. I think it is very "primitive tribe" and ignores the principle of "everyone is an independent individual". Recalling the form of human settlements, it was still in the period of "primitive tribes". In order to compete for food and territory, tribes had to continuously expand their fighting power. The more people in their own tribe, the more likely they were to win the battle.In this state of mind, it only makes sense to rush to be someone else's father and rush to recognize his son all over the street.In any modern society, if you are walking on the road, and a strange child comes over and pulls your sleeve to call you daddy, you will only feel that something is fraudulent, that you have met a liar, and you should avoid it in fear.But in terms of swearing, we who live in today's society are still very keen on "fuck your mother" and "fuck your ancestors". I'm just not happy" I feel very courageous when I say it.This is why I say they are "raw".

As for the swearing of this line and the contempt for personal value, that's not to mention.The other party's mother is definitely an individual with an independent personality. If you are really interested in sleeping with her, you should use your means to attract her and ask her for sex. How can you not only ignore her own wishes, but also blindly put her She "simplifies" to be someone else's mother, "simplifies" her to become a "tool" for her to become the other's father, and finally "simplifies" her to a word that wins the other party in a quarrel.

Of course, swear words are just swear words, and the swear words of every nation are "old" and "childish".Japanese teachers call each other "stupid", Americans often call each other "shit", they are very shallow and childish.But at least these swear words were directed at the quarreling opponent himself in an open and above board manner. Relatively speaking, the swear words in Chinese are roundabout, not good at attacking the opponent, but only want to turn this corner to drag the opponent's elders, pursuing an ancient specimen that has no modern meaning: vigorously expand the blood of the family.In order to serve this ancient goal, all individuals are silently reduced to "soldier ants" and "worker ants". As long as they reproduce offspring and expand blood vessels, they can realize the meaning of life.This kind of swearing is not just the words, but the attitude that the swearing has been hiding behind for thousands of years.

Fortunately, I am not someone else's mother. If I were someone else's mother, I would have been "simplified" by the Chinese swear words for thousands of years. Eighteen generations of ancestors".
