贱人就是任性 Bitch用法大全|佛山英语培训

爆粗口往往是不那么讨人喜欢的，不过小爱发现很多人刚到一个新的语言环境都是先学会粗口。如果不会真正使用那么一两个粗口英语，有时候还真不好意思说自己会地道英文呢？现在让我们暂且把书本上的正式用法放一边，看看bitch这个非常普遍的小词怎么用，大家是不是觉得“就是任性”可以用bitch表达吗？

Let’s forget about the formal applications of English for one day and take a walk on

the wild side of bad words.
现在让我们暂且将英语的正式用法放在一边，在“不良词汇”的边缘徜徉吧。
Today we’re going to talk about the word BITCH, which, without a doubt, is all over the place in the English language in all its elaborate uses. It’s not as simple as you might think.

今天我们要谈论的单词是BITCH，毋庸置疑，它在英语中使用的非常普遍，无处不在。它并不像你想的那么简单。
BITCH. It’s a powerful word, it can be used as a noun, verb or adjective, and it’s almost universally misunderstood by non-native English speakers. It can be playful, sexual or violent. It can be offensive, neutral, and even used to empower woman. But in 99% of the cases, “Bitch” does not translate to “Prostitute.” Wikipedia says:
“BITCH”是一个强大的词，它可以用作名词，也可以用作动词或形容词，它几乎受到了所有英语为非母语的人误解。它可以是好玩的，与性别有关的，或者暴力的。它也可以是无礼的，中立的，甚至能够用在女人身上。但是在99%的例子中，“Bitch” 不能够翻译成“妓女”。维基百科说：
The word “bitch”, literally meaning a female dog, is a common slang term in the English language, especially used as a denigrating term applied to a person, commonly a woman. It often refers to someone who is belligerent, unreasonable, rudely intrusive or aggressive.
单词“bitch”，字面意思指的是一只母狗，它是英语中常用的俚语，尤其是作为诋毁语用到人身上，通常是女人。它通常指的是好斗的、不可理喻的、粗鲁地入侵的或好攻击的人。

Let’s dive in. Here is how BITCH is used:
让我们来一探究竟吧。下面是如何使用BITCH的方法：

Bitch Almost Never Means “Prostitute”:

Bitch 基本上从来没有“妓女”的意思：
Accept that the translation of “son of a bitch” is misleading and does not represent how native speakers use the word bitch in other situations. Even in “son of a bitch,”I would venture say that the expression doesn’t make me think of mother or woman in the same way that it’s translated in Spanish and Portuguese (“hijo de puta/ filho de puta”).
人们常常接受的“son of a bitch” 的翻译（“婊子养的”）是容易让人误解的，并且它不能够完全代表母语为英语的人在其它情况下是如何使用bitch这个单词的。即使是“son of a bitch”这句话，我敢说这种表达按照同样的方式翻译成西班牙语或是葡萄牙语（“hijo de puta/ filho de puta”），也并不能让我想到bitch指的是母亲或是妇女。
The only exception to this is in American ganster rap music, which uses the word “bitch” in a much more derogative way (prostitute), often referring to women as “bitches and hoes” (hoe means prostitute). More on this below：
唯一例外的是《美国黑帮》说唱音乐，它里面单词“bitch”有衍生的更加贬义的用法（妓女），通常把女人比作“婊子和妓女”（hoe指的是妓女）。下面有很多例子：
Bitch Literally Means Female Dog. There’s nothing really to explain here. It’s quite literal and this is probably the only non-colloquial use of the word.
Bitch的字面意思是母狗。这里没什么好解释的。这个完全是字面意思，并且这可能是这个单词唯一的非口语化的用法。
Calling a Woman a Bitch (3 different meanings):

称一个女人为 Bitch（3种不同意思）：

1.An annoying/ unpleasant woman: It’s definitely not polite to call a woman a bitch, but in most cases, it’s not as bad as “whore.” For example: (a) He didn’t leave a tip at the restaurant because he said that his waitress WAS A BITCH. (b) I don’t know what’s wrong with her. She’s BEING A BITCH.
一个烦人的/让人不愉快的女人：称一个女人为bitch绝对是不礼貌的，但是在很多情况下，它并没有“whore（妓女）”那么恶劣。例如：（a）他没有给餐馆小费，因为他说他的女服务员WAS A BITCH（是个烦人的女人）。（b）我不知道她怎么了。她就是BEING A BITCH（让人不愉快）。

Note: “She is a bitch” (permanent) is much more offensive than saying “she is being a bitch” (temporary state). All the same, to call a woman a bitch is never nice, so watch your mouth.
注意：“She is a bitch.”（永久的，现在时）比说“she is being a bitch”（临时状态，进行时）更加无礼。同样地，称一个女人是个bitch是很不友好的，所以注意你的言辞。

2.A Prostitute: Rap music seems to be the only context where “bitch” means “prostitute.” Rap music’s use of “bitch” is a controversial, complicated issue which I’m not going to even try to explore right now.In my personal opinion, rap music, in general, demonstrates totally inappropriate treatment of women that nobody should imitate. See the “unified bitch theory “ as put forward by famous rappers, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
妓女：说唱音乐即Rap似乎是唯一使用“bitch” 表示“妓女”的语境。说唱音乐中“bitch” 的使用是个有争议的、复杂的问题，这个我不打算立刻探究清楚。在我个人看来，一般来说，说唱音乐里这种用法展示了完全不恰当的对待女人的态度，任何人都不应该模仿。看看著名歌手Dr. Dre和Snoop Dogg提出的
“unified bitch theory ”。

3.An Empowered Woman: An emerging feminist definition that is becoming more common these days: “In a feminist context, it can indicate a strong or assertive woman, one who might make men feel threatened.” Check out this popular Meredith Brooks Song, “bitch” which demonstrates exactly this.
一个有权利的女人：这是一个新兴的女权主义的定义，最近也变的越来越常见了：“在一篇关于女权主义的文章中，它能够表示一个强势或者自信的女人，这个女人可能会让男人感到威胁。”看看流行的Meredith Brooks的歌曲，“bitch”，这首歌的歌词很好的诠释了这个意思。

Calling a Man a Bitch

This is often playful, but can be mildly offensive. It means that the man is subservient, that he does everything for another person, and has compromised his dignity. You often use the possessive adjective. For example: I do everything for my boss. My friends at work tell me that I’M HIS BITCH. Sometimes people say “he’s being a little bitch” to communicate that he’s extremely unpleasant, not easy to deal with.
称一个男人为bitch，这个通常是开玩笑的，但是也略微有些冒犯的意思。它表示这个男人是屈从的，他做的每件事都是为别人做的，并且放弃了自己的尊严。你通常使用的是所有格形容词。例如:我做的一切都是为了我的老板。我工作了的朋友告诉我，我是我老板的奴隶。有时候人们说“he’s being a little bitch”来表示他非常让人不快，很难打交道。

As an Adjective: Bitchy

You can call a man or a woman a bitch (with different meanings, as described in 3 and 4), but the word bitchy (applied to both men and women) has the sense of “annoying” or “unpleasant.” For example: You’re being really bitchy today. Why can’t you be nicer to me? This is still not very polite language and would probably be offensive.
作为形容词：Bitchy。你可以称一个男人或女人是 bitch（它有不同的含义，3,4中讲过了），但是单词 bitchy （男女通用）带有“烦人的”或者“令人不愉快”的感觉。例如：你今天真的很让人不高心。你为什么就不能对我好点？这仍然是很不礼貌的说法，并且有可能冒犯到别人。

Bitch as a Verb (Complain)

In this colloquial use of the word, “bitch” means “complain.” It is often used together with “moan” (gemir) to negatively potray someone (or yourself) who is complaining too much. This use is not really offensive (depending on the tone) and can be used informal situations. For example: I wish people would just stop BITCHING AND MOANING about corruption in politics and do something about it.
“bitch”作为动词（抱怨）。“bitch”的这种口语用法表示“抱怨”。它通常和“moan” （抱怨）一起使用，来负面的描述某人（或者是你自己）抱怨太多。这种用法并不真的太冒犯人（取决于语气），并且可以用在非正式场合。例如：我希望人们可以停止哼哼唧唧的抱怨政坛腐败而是做点什么。

Bitch Someone Out

means to yell at someone in a really negative way for something they did. For example: My boss BITCHED ME OUT for being 10 minutes late. To use this expression is not offensive, but language is very colloquial.
Bitch someone out表示因为某人做的事情，非常消极的对他们大喊大叫。例如：我的老板因为我迟到了10分钟就对我大喊大叫（BITCHED ME OUT）。使用这个表达不会很冒犯别人，但是这种说法是非常口语化的。

Bitchin’ as an Adjective

This means that something is good, awesome, cool, etc. Don’t confuse this with bitchy (explained above).For example: The Real Life English party was BITCHIN’! Following the rules of grammar would make this “bitching ” but we say “bitchin.” This is another colloquial expression that isn’t negative.
Bitchin’作为形容词。这个词表示某物很好、很棒、很酷，等等。不要把这个和 bitchy（上面解释过）弄混了。例如：The Real Life 的英语晚会很BITCHIN’（很棒的）！按照语法规则应该是“bitching ”，但是我们说“bitchin”。这是另外一种不带负面色彩的口语化表达。

Life’s a Bitch

A common way to communicate that life is complicated,not easy, etc. The expression has this sense of confronting the difficulties, but also recognizing the unpleasant nature. Other examples of this use are: Calculus is a BITCH. Monday morning is a BITCH.
Life’s a Bitch“生活就像强奸”，是一种普遍的交流方式，用来表达生活是复杂的、困难的，等等。这个表达带有面临困难的意味，也含有意识到不愉快的本质的意思。其它用法的例子有：微积分是BITCH（小编注：即微积分真TMD的复杂。）。星期一的早晨是BITCH，真难熬。（小编注：周一又要开始工作学习，让人觉得难进入状态）。

Bitch Please!

This expression (see picture below) communicates that you don’t believe what the person says. Urban Dictionary defines it as follows: Used when someone/tool makes a stupid comment, or just as a fun way of saying no. This is a common colloquial expression which originated in the ghettos and has reached mainstream middle class American society. People often use this colloquially in a playful way (the title of this article), but as Urban Dictionary points out because of the origin of “bitch please” amongst inner-city prostitution rings, it always carries a connotation of violence.
Bitch Please!这个表达（见下图）表示你不相信这个人说的话。Urban Dictionary词典定义如下：当某人/某工具做了愚蠢的评论，或者仅仅是用搞笑的方式说“不”的时候使用。这是一个普遍使用的口语化表达，它起源于贫民区，并且流传到美国社会主流中产阶级。人们通常用开玩笑的方式（这篇文章标题）使用这个口语化表达，但是正如城市词典指出，因为“bitch please”来源于城市中心的红灯区，所以它常常带有黄暴力的内涵。

Bitchslap

轻拍某人，使之冷静（小编注：有一部影片也用过此单词做片名，常见翻译为“女子大乱斗”）
This is to “slap” somebody with the back of your hand in order to calm the person down and make them see things straight. This is another use of “bitch” that originated in the ghettos and was popularized by rap music and black culture. People often use this term in a playful way.
这个表示为了让某人冷静，并且直面某事而用手背去“轻掌嘴”某人。这是来源于贫民区的另外一种 “bitch”的用法，现在被说唱音乐和黑人文化推广开来。人们通常用好玩的方式使
用这个词。

To Ride Bitch in the Car

坐在车后座的两个人中间

To ride in the middle of the back seat of the car.

坐在汽车后座的中间。
