1、英语的“大便、小便、放屁 ”真正说法以下为一些禁忌 (taboo)的美语之整理。毕竟这些都是咱们日常生活的一部分,说不定有一天这些禁忌之语还能派上用场呢! 厕所 在美国一般都叫 rest room 或 bath room(男女厕均可)或分别叫做 mens room 或 ladies room(= powder room) ,不过在飞机上,则叫 lavatory,在军中又叫 latrine。至于 W.C.(water closet)仍是过去英国人用的,在美国,几乎没有人使用。 解小便 最普通的说法是 to urinate(名词是 urination) ,如果去看病,护士为了化验小便,就会给你一个
2、杯子说:Will ( could) you urinate in this cup?医生或许也会问:Do you have trouble urinating?=Do you have difficulty voiding?(小便有困难吗?) 此外,还有其他的说法:to piss = to take a piss = to take a leak = to void = to empty。 例如: I need to piss = I have to take a leak. How often do you get up at night to void?(晚上起床小便几次?) 此外,joh
3、n(j 小写时,不是男人名字)是 bath room 或 toilet 的意思(也叫 outhouse) ,这通常是指在户外工作场地所使用的临时或流动性厕所(有时前面也加 portable 一字) 。不过也有老外把家里的厕所叫做john。 例如: There are several (portable) johns in the construction site.(在建筑场地有几个临时厕所。 ) He went to the john a few minutes ago.(他在几分钟前上了厕所。 ) The manual labours have to use (portable) john
4、s during their working hours.(劳动者在工作时间内需要使用流动性厕所。 ) 不过,小孩多半用 to pee 。例如: The boy needs to pee. 然而, 小便检查又叫做 urine test,因为这里的 urine 是化验的样品(specimen) 。 例如: Do I need a urine test? 注意:to piss off 是片语,又是指对人生气或对事物的不满。不过这是不礼貌的片语,少用为妙。 例如:He pissed me off. = He made me angry. He always pisses off (at ) the
5、society.(对社会不满) 如果小便有毛病,也可以告诉医生说: My urine is cloudy and it smells strong.(有浊尿,味道很重) I have pus (或 air)in urine.(尿有泡沫) (pus = cloudy; air = bubble) I dribble a little urine after I have finished urinating.(小便后还会滴滴答答。 ) (即失禁毛病) I am passing less urine than usual.(小便的量比平时少) 解大便 一般是用 to make(或 have)a b
6、owel movement 或 to take a shit。如果看病,医生常问:Do you have regular bowel movement? (大便正常吗?) (说得斯文些,就是大肠在转动 ) 此外,还有其他的说法: to defecate =to discharge excrement(或 feces)=to take feces (或 faeces) 。 如:The patient needs to take a shit. (=to make a bowel movement) 不过,小孩多半是用 to make a poo poo 或 to make a BM. 。 例如:
7、 The boy had a stinky BM.(大便奇臭。 ) 但是大便检查倒叫做 stool exam,因为 stool 也是一种化验的样品。 例如: The doctor has to exam his stool.(医生要检查他的大便。 ) 放屁 在美语里最常用的是 to expel gas 或 to fart 或 to make (或 pass)gas。 例如: 医生有时问:How often do you expel(或 make 或 pass)gas ? (你放屁的次数很多吗?) Is the gas expelled by belching?(是否打嗝后就会放屁呢?) (动词
8、是 belch) He said the more he ate, the more he farted.(吃的愈多,放屁也愈多。 ) He has passed more gas than usual within the last two days.(过去两天中,他放屁比平常多。 ) Be careful not to fart in the public.(注意在公共场所不可放屁。 ) 至于消化不良,大便不通或拉肚子,也有不同的说法。 例如: I have an upset stomach.(消化不良) = I have heartburn. = I have indigestion.
9、注意:Heartburn 是指胃不舒服,不是 心痛 (heartache) Something has upset my stomach for two weeks.(胃不舒服有两星期了。 ) He has(persistent )constipation.(或 irregularity) (他经常便秘。) 或 He has been unusually constipated.(便秘很反常。 )或 He is having problem with irregularity.(或constipation); 或 He has no bowel movement for the past fe
