骂人的用途
in Wangtam, on June 19, 2009
前几天一位昔日的爱尔兰摇滚歌手把意大利政府骂成一伙shyster，不知你是否留意。
Shyster是个怪词，不是正经英语，而是把德文说大便的动词scheissen同英文指干什么的人的后缀-ster压缩结合的产物，所指的人不论在形象上还是行为上恐怕都不太光彩。
《英华大词典》把shyster解释为"讼棍"或者"手段卑鄙的人"，这多少做了一些清洁卫生工作。
与身份不符？
按照我的成见，摇滚歌手用粗话、脏话骂人不是新闻。问题在于说出此话的鲍勃•格尔多夫（Bob Geldof）如今不仅封了英国的荣誉爵位，而且活跃于国际政坛，近年来一直努力游说，...
