“Bullshit”是 “nonsense”和“rubbish”的粗俗说法,可作动词、名词和程度副词。作名词时指代不好的事物,语气比“shit”强烈,带有对抗性,我不推荐你使用。日常使用只用单数形式。
Make sure you readMonday’s blog about the proper usage of profanity!
“Bullshit” is theprofane version of “nonsense” or “rubbish” in its primarymeaning. It’s pretty close to废话 in meaning, thoughit is definitely a vulgar word; if you say “bullshit” to someonewho is not your friend, it is a very strong challenge to thatperson’s honor that could lead to a serious confrontation, so becareful about using it. It’s a verb, a noun, andan expletive so you can say, “Stop bullshiting me,” “that’sbullshit,” or simply, “bullshit!” (This, by the way, is the name ofa very good and funny TV show: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTkyOTExMDI0.htmlSorry, no subtitles). Additionally, it is also astronger way to refer to “stuff” than “shit” is.It’s confrontational. You might hear: “Get thisbullshit out of my way!” This is very aggressive,so I don’t recommend you use it unless you are looking for afight. Finally, this word is ALWAYSsingular. You will never hear a native speakersay “bullshits” (unless on the very rare occasion that someone istalking about a male cow defecating more than once); it’s alwaysjust “bullshit.”
