一个反常合道的文化现象

An Antinomic Cultural Phenomenon

渎神语与性亵渎语作为一种语言现象和社会现象,深深植根于民族文化的土壤中。汉、英两个民族由于宗教信仰、社会形态、哲学传统、文化心理的巨大差异,各自语言中的渎神语与性亵渎语的使用环境、语用动机和语用效果不尽相同。而这恰恰是中西文化差异的真实反映。

As a component of a language, blasphemous words and sex-oriented profane words are deeply rooted in the soll of the national culture. The pragmatic motives and pragmatic effect of blasphemous words and sex-oriented profane words used in the Chinese language and the English language are not the same due to the great difference between the two nations in religious beliefs, social forms, philosophical traditions and cultural psychology. This is precisely the true reflection of differences between Chinese and Western cultures.
