the shit of it”译作“事情怪就怪在这里”。
下面再看看与“shit”有关的一个复合词。
6．“Susan，cut it out．”
“Cut what out?"
“This bullshit about Dale."
“l certainly hope you don't use that kind of language in Jodanna's
presence. It's bad enough…”
7. She told me a woman out on Fatback Key formed a committee…"
“Oh，yeah，that bullshit committee，…
在以上两例中,shit与bull一起构成bullshit，前一个为名词后一个用作形容词，修饰committee。从上下文看,
前者指的是说话人前妻Susan对现在的情人Dale所使用的一个很难听的称号,另外考虑到下文里对方的抗议，即“that kind
of language和“bad enough…"，认为可将bullshit译作“狗屁”. bullshit committee措的是一个群体淫乱团伙，故将其译作“乌七八糟委员会”。
除“shit”外，在此类词中较常见的还有“fuck （fucking，fucker），piss，cunt等，这些词单个地偶尔出现在文章或作品里并不足为怪；但若同时出现在同一句子中，则不得不令人称奇。下面就有这么一个例子：
“And her language…well， she curses a lot， even more than any
of the other girls do－that's normal for Saint Mark’s， cursing a
lot，the whole ｀shit，piss，cunt，fuck' routine， you know。 But Heather
really goes overboard with it，like she’s trying to prove how mature
she is，you know what I mean?"
I was still reeling over the string of profanities my fourteen－year－old
daughter had casually dropped into the conversation。
双引号中是一位上中学的女儿向父亲介绍班上一位名叫Heather的同学时所说的话，目的是想告诉父亲她这位同学是如何满口脏话，不知羞耻，其中单引号里的四个词是典型的“four
letter words”。翻开英汉词典，“shit”和“piss”分别是“大便”和“撒尿”，如此这般译成中文，平淡无奇，不足以表现Heather那种缺少教养、俗不可耐的“小痞子”神态。而“cunt"是女性生殖器，“fuck’是指发生性行为，直译过来显然也不妥。遇到这种情况，译者不必拘泥于原文字面意义，应跳出原文局限，在汉语词汇中挑选出几个粗俗、脏鄙的字眼来。将上文拟译如下：
“还有她的言谈……唉，她满口脏话，比别的女孩子脏话都多——在圣·马克中学，满口脏话者大有人在，像｀他妈的，日他娘，狗日的，操你奶奶’之类，知道不？但希瑟更是有过之而无不及，像是要证明她是多么成熟似的。懂我的意思么？”
我十四岁的女儿一口气说出了这么一长串粗鲁的语言，一时令我目瞪口呆。
从字面上看，英语里的“四字母词”与汉语中的鄙语似乎想去甚远，但在表达效果上却基本一致，也算得上是一种“貌离神合”吧。

英语中如何优雅的骂人
讲英语难, 吵架更难. 虽说人在国外总是想尽办法以和为贵, 但要跟人家吵架怎么办?
很多人一生气, 所有的英文都忘光了, 平常英文就说不出口, 更何况是吵架, 所以满脑子浮现的不是 Fxxx 就是 Sxxx 这样是很不好的.
我还听过有一个人很绝, 英文骂不过人家就用中文骂, 反正对方听得懂听不懂都无关紧要, 重要的是让他知道你很凶, 而且你正在骂他就行了.
