Today I'm gonna share with you guys about my thoughts on @$^&#%!?.

今天我要來討論我對@$^&#%的想法 XD

My English Corner videos will be in English,

好久不見的 English Corner 影片會是全英文的喔

so that you guys can practice your English listening skills.

I can also take this opportunity to share with you guys some of my thoughts.

我也可以順便跟大家分享一些我的想法

Remember to turn on c.c. to read the English subtitles on YouTube.

記得要開 YouTube 的 CC 字幕來看到英文的字幕

If you'd like to read in both English and Chinese,

如果你想要看到中英文雙字幕版本

You can click here to watch this video on VoiceTube!

可以點這邊，到 VoiceTube 上面看！

So, as most of you already know I upload English-related, teaching-related content onto this channel

所以呢，大家應該都知道我會在這個網站上傳英文相關、教學相關的影片

因為有時候小孩子會一起看這些影片

But recently I might have let loose some swear words here and there,

但最近我可能脫口說出一些髒話，

and I'm getting comments like: "Oh Ray is swearing!"

然後就會出現一些像是「你看阿滴在罵髒話欸」的評論

或是「我從來沒聽過阿滴罵髒話耶」這樣的留言

Owing to that, some people around me would start telling me to watch my language more,

也因為這樣，有些人就叫我謹慎用字

說我應該做好榜樣之類的，嗯...

So today I wanted to talk to you about my thoughts on profanity,

所以今天呢，我想來跟大家分享我對「詈語」的看法，

which is just a fancy way of saying swear words, curse words, bad words, whatever.

First things first, I do not encourage swearing but I do swear off camera...

首先，我當然不鼓勵罵髒話，但我現實生活會講一些髒話...

I believe the intent of your communication outweighs the specific words you use.

我只想說，我相信人們溝通的重點是在於意圖而不是拘泥於遣詞用字

Okay, I know that may sound like a lame excuse but, but hear me out.

好，我知道這樣聽起來真的很像在找藉口，但請聽我說

For example, the phrase "oh my god" used to be regarded as profanity

舉例來說，「我的天啊」這用語以前會被歸類為髒話

Such a common phrase, such a common saying was once frowned upon.

這句慣用語，在以前是不太能被接納的

This is because saying "oh my god" is seen as "using the Lord's name in vain",

But nowadays it's really just an expression.

但是現在我們都把它當作一個慣用語

As language adapts into our culture, our society, our norms, people just use it because people use it.

當語言融入我們的文化、社會、日常時，人們自然而然就接受了

So it really just comes down to what you mean by the words you say.

所以總結來說，重點就在於你用這個「髒話」的意義是什麼

I would like to share an interesting story that happened to me back in middle school.

我想跟大家分享一件發生在我國中時期的趣事

So I studied in a Christian school and obviously any form of cussing is banned.

我讀的是基督教學校，理所當然地，任何髒話都被禁止

That is especially the case for our grammar classes.

Our grammar teacher, Mr. Mills, is a devout Christian you see.

我的文法老師 Mr. Mills 是個非常虔誠的基督徒

And he only has two rules in the classroom:

two, you do not use the Lord's name in vain.

But he is considerate enough to give us some cheats.

但是他也很好心的提供我們一些替代方案

那就是，用「shoot」代替「shit」

instead of Jesus you can say geez (or jeez).

And instead of oh my god you can say oh my gosh.

或是用「oh my gosh」代替「oh my god」等等

He made this so perfectly clear that every time you break the rules,

他說得很清楚，只要有人破壞規矩

you have to put in 10NT dollars into the class piggy bank.

就要在班上的存錢桶貢獻 10 塊錢

we would use that money for like a pizza party or something.

as I was wiping some dust off my glasses,

It came as a shock so as a reflex, I said: "Oh my gooooood."

我的直覺反應就是，「噢，我的天啊！」

and only after I realized I had to add the -sh at the end to make it gosh.

我說完才發現我應該用替代詞的

But it's so depressing that I broke my glasses, right?

但是我超不爽我弄壞了眼鏡，你懂嗎？

So I naturally just extended that -sh into a

結果我反而把後面那的 -sh 延伸成為

所以我那時候說的是「噢，我的天啊！靠！」

And I had to put in 20 into the piggy bank

結果就是我在班上的存錢桶貢獻了 20 塊

I dunno, don't break your glasses in class?

不知道，或許是叫你小心一點不要在課堂上弄斷眼鏡吧？

I think that swearing is all about what you mean.

我覺得罵髒話不是不行，而是你罵髒話的意義是什麼

If all is just in good fun then I don't really see the harm in that.

如果只是好玩，我也不覺得那有什麼大不了

There's even a new study published in the journal "Social Psychological and Personality Science",

甚至一篇在【Social Psychological and Personality Science】發表的研究還顯示

that found people who swear more associating with higher degrees of honesty and integrity.

愛罵髒話的人比起其他人來得誠實與正直

so by doing that you are actively portraying yourself honestly.

所以這麼做才能顯現你真實的內心

Well at least that's what the study says.

So that's also something you have to bear in mind.

and you're used to throwing around swear words as a joke,

而你們都很習慣用髒話問候對方

I don't see that as too much of a problem.

But if you're with someone who would mistake your intent and get all offended,

但如果你是對一個可能誤會你意思的人

it would be better if you keep it to yourself.

And also, obviously, if you swear too much, people would think that you're vulgar and impolite.

還有，當然如果你太常罵髒話，你可能會被人家誤會是沒教養、沒禮貌

I know some friends who would swear excessively all the time,

There's a time and place for everything, even swearing.

There are both sides to the argument and there is no clear verdict.

有人支持、有人反對，也沒有絕對的答案

Do you think that all swear words are bad no matter what,

你們覺得所有髒話都是不好的嗎，
