Mackeen Al-Hiraky問道:
"What can I do to stop cursing so much?"
“怎么能不再咒罵那么多?”
I don't know! I don't curse. I'm a little girl!
我不知道!我不咒罵。我還是個小女孩!
I have that same problem. It's my life-long struggle.
我也有同樣的問題。這是我終生要抗爭的事情。
Put duct tape over your mouth. That'll help.
用膠帶封住你的嘴。那會有幫助的。
You can have manners and stop cursing.
你可以講禮貌,不再咒罵。
Think before you speak and stop.
說話之前要三思,停止咒罵。
Just give yourself a little pinch if you start cussing.
一咒罵,就捏自己一下。
What I do is I literally bite my tongue. I'm not even joking about that. I literally bite my tongue when I'm about to curse.
我的做法是,我真地咬自己的舌頭。我可不是在開玩笑。我在要咒罵時真的會咬自己的舌頭。
If you curse, you have to give one of your friends a quarter.
如果你咒罵,你就要給一個朋友25美分。
Make a curse jar, and then every time you curse you can put money in it. Then you could give the money in the curse jar to someone that you don't like, like your brother or your sister.
做一個咒罵罐,每次你咒罵時,可以在里面放錢。然后你可以把咒罵罐里的錢給你不喜歡的人,比如你的兄弟或姐妹。
Think of new words. Don't think of bad words like that. Even if they're totally gibberish. Just say new words.
想想新詞匯。不要說那種臟話。即使那完全是胡說八道。也要說新詞匯。
I always think, "Take the higher road." You can choose to get down and dirty and be smart-assy and use that kind of language, but it's really not attractive.
我一直在想,“選擇更高的路”。你可以選擇粗俗、自以為是,使用那種語言,但是那并沒有吸引力。
The way you curse, or your language, what you're using depends on who's surrounding you. So always think like it's your grandma right there, and how would you act? And if you have that preconceived notion, you're not gonna drop the F-bomb next to your grandma making you cookies, you know what I mean? awesome!" But yeah... don't do that.
你咒罵的方式或者說你所使用的語言取決于誰在你周圍。你要一直想著,你的祖母就在那里,那你會如何表現?如果你有這種先入為主的觀念,你就不會在你旁邊正在給你做餅干的祖母面前說出F開頭的那句臟話了,你懂我的意思吧?很好!對……不要那樣做。
