逗比这个词火了可有一段时间,年轻人喜欢用,郭德纲还在相声中调侃道“你是猴子请来的逗比吗”,这么深入人心的词可要跨越国界才好,就让我们来学学它的英文dobe(逗比)。
Dobe is the Japanese slang word for “idiot”. Chinese youngsters use it to refer to a ridiculous person who is a stranger, or a funny one who is a friend.
“逗比”是日语里用来形容笨蛋的俚语。中国的年轻人用它来形容那些荒唐的陌生人或好笑的朋友。
We can comprehend this composite word as a funny 2B. Simply put, it means someone is funny, a little silly and cute. With its widespread use, more and more people consider it a neutral word. If we use it to describe a stranger, we are more talking of a stupid stranger. If it alludes to a friend, then it is used to mock and make fun of the friend.
根据合成词原则可以理解为:挺逗的二比。简单的说,就是说某个人很逗,有点犯二犯傻,有点可爱。随着它的使用范围逐步扩大,越来越多人将它用作中性词。如果对陌生人说,指别人是傻叉的意思多一点。如果是好朋友之间说,那就是调侃和玩笑的意思多一点!
Example:
He’s such a dobe. He used the dice to decide his answers in the multiple choice questions.
他就是个逗比。他用骰子决定多选题答案。
